Pow! This Mid-Century Modern house certainly has visual impact. From kitsch gold taps in the bathroom to the African nick-nacks adorning every surface in the living room, its style is best described as “more is more”. Every care has been taken to preserve this home in its original 1950s glamour, when its owner ran the famed Chi Chi Lounge, frequented by celebrity clientele who’d pop over to his house for Sunday brunch. You can easily imagine Frank Sinatra propped up at the private bar in the lounge, or sipping a cocktail by the kidney-shaped pool outside. Why not channel Ol’ Blue Eyes with a singsong around the piano after a day exploring all that Palm Springs has to offer. The restaurants and shops of East Palm Canyon Drive are within walking distance and it's a short drive to downtown.  

After Hours

Tucked in a quintessential Coachella Valley suburb, this home offers an ideal combination of indoor and outdoor living. Sunseekers will be content to spend days in the pool, but there are plenty of shady spots too – the alfresco dining terrace is perfect for sunset dinners. The interiors won't blow you away (some might find the bedroom décor a little garish), but the glass sliding doors mean you're never far from the outside. This is a great location for those wishing to have an active stay – it's a short drive to popular hiking trails in the San Jacinto Mountains, as well as the best golf resorts in the Valley. 

Desert Echoes

Among swaying palms and the quiet luxury estates of the Andreas Hills neighbourhood, this half-acre, showstopping home comes with stellar mountain views and glass walls that ensure you can enjoy them from any of the immaculate rooms. Escape the relentless Californian heat and plunge into the serene blue pool as the appointed barman of your group fixes a cocktail at the outdoor wet bar. Inside is all creams, wood, leather and stone which gives an organic softness to the geometric architecture. It’s not often we highlight a bathroom but the zen, master en-suite with its freestanding tub, leafy plants and carefully placed pebbles feels a bit special. Mealtimes are a cinch in the professionally appointed kitchen. Light snacks can be enjoyed at the casual breakfast bar and for bigger gastronomic events involving the whole clan, head to the atrium or feast alfresco on the patio. The Downtown Palm Springs plaza is a ten-minute car ride to the north, for a number of upscale eateries, trendy bars and ample opportunities to scratch your retail itch. To get a little closer to the spectacular scenery that surrounds your home, the Murray Canyon Trail is an eight-minute drive to the southwest and Oswit Canyon is ten-minutes westward.

The Ivory Thread

This Palm Springs condo is ideal for groups of friends and families alike. It comes complete with resort access, so if you're looking to keep busy during your stay, this could do the trick. There's a shared pool, clubhouse and fitness centre, too. And, the home itself is equally attractive. It features an office for working on the move, plus a peaceful private terrace that's perfect for a morning coffee or evening cocktail. Well-located, with shopping, dining and adventure all just a short drive away, this home adds up nicely for those seeking a desert escape.

A Desert Vista

Surrounded by wide open spaces and with unobstructed views of the San Jacinto mountains, this is a truly luxurious retreat. Spend a day lounging by your private pool, or unwind in the waterfall spa after a long hike. Glass walls wrap around the home, making for beautiful views from most rooms, and there's a great balance of indoor and outdoor living. With a barbecue, wet bar, outdoor TV and ample seating space, you have everything you need  at home, but when you do feel like venturing out, there’s a whole host of restaurants and shops a short drive away. And with four grand suites to choose from, there won't be any squabbling over rooms.


Mojo Pin

From the mountain vistas to the uplifting interiors, this mid-century hideaway perfectly embodies the spirit of southern California living.

Sitting peacefully in Tahquitz Creek Legend Golf Resort, days can be spent playing rounds of golf, following nearby hiking and cycle trails or simply relaxing in your own private oasis. From leisurely swims in the saltwater pool and long soaks in the jacuzzi to lazy afternoons swaying in the hammock and fun-filled barbecue meals, this is a wonderful setting for a restorative retreat. And when the sun begins to set, you’ll find the outdoor fire welcoming you to get together and watch the stars fill the sky. 

Inside, the open-plan living room provides a cosy spot for movie nights, while the four spacious bedrooms have everything you could need for a peaceful night’s rest. 

For explorations further afield, it’s a short stroll to Palm Canyon Drive while the heart of Downtown Palm Springs is just a short drive away. 

The Slow 

Immerse yourself in the laidback spirit of Palm Springs from your luxurious villa. Blending a futuristic style with classic Palm Springs characteristics, this chic home will feel like your own private resort. With a shimmering pool, jacuzzi, putting green, and bocce ball set, it ticks everything off the Southern Californian wish list. Not to mention the panoramic mountain scenery – the perfect view while you catch the sun from your tanning deck. 

Palm Springs is laced with a tinge of 80s Hollywood nostalgia, and you can certainly feel that here. If not for the opulent interior and luxurious gardens, then for the iconic Pacman machine. Work on beating each other’s high score, when you’re not lounging by the pool, that is. 

After a few drinks around the chic outdoor sofa, fire up the barbecue for a grilled feast. And when day turns to dusk, the best seat in the house to appreciate the sunset is around the atmospheric fire pit. Sip on glasses of Californian wine while the sky dims into the shades of purple and pink.

If you never wanted to leave this slice of heaven, we’d get it. But although you feel secluded, you’re in a great location for exploring Palm Springs, whether that’s by hiking through the canyons, cycling down the valleys, or walking around the palm tree-fringed streets. 

Flamingos & Polka Dots

Surrounded by rocky mountains and swaying palms, this pet-friendly villa feels like your own private resort. Inside, whitewashed walls, vaulted ceilings, an open fireplace and light-filled spaces create a stylish backdrop for relaxation, gathering, or entertaining. A cosy casita offers extra privacy for those who want a retreat within a retreat. But it’s the backyard that steals the show — think a resort-style pool, hot tub, firepit, and multiple spots for dining beneath the desert sky. And when you’re ready for a change of scene, the lively shops, restaurants, and nightlife of Palm Canyon Drive are just a short stroll away.

Rock Star

Part of a country club with an impressive list of shared facilities, this little gem is a colourful, cosy home for a couple or a solo traveller. Whether you're here to play golf and sun yourself or to hike in the mountains, this is the perfect base in Palm Springs. Plus its styling gives a more than passing nod to the atomic era, with a 1960s-style tulip dining table and sputnik-inspired curtains. 

Here the toughest decision you need to make is which activity to choose from between the on-site tennis, golf or swimming pools. There's a clubhouse restaurant and cocktail lounge to try out, but it's just a five-minute drive to downtown for all the restaurants and shops you could need. And when you get home, sip drinks on your terrace with views of the surrounding mountians.

Little Atomic

This iconic California ranch was once home to Hollywood royalty Bob and Dolores Hope. Originally built in 1935, you can find this vibrant villa in the sought-after Movie Colony East neighbourhood, known for its cosy restaurants and famous residents. Boasting a spacious yard with a private pool, spend your days relaxing on a sun lounger and cooling off in the water, but if you're looking for a little adventure, there's plenty to be had in the city.

Green spaces like Ruth Hardy Park offer picturesque jogging and picnic spots, while Wellness Park is ideal for some quiet meditation in the warm open air. There are some great hiking trails in Palm Springs, too – head to Joshua Tree National Park to wander the striking desert landscapes dotted with rugged rock formations and get the best views over the clifftops.

When you get home, hit the Jacuzzi to rest any tired muscles, then get creative at the barbecue and cook an alfresco meal to enjoy on the patio. Post-dinner, gather around the fire pit to share a few drinks and watch the sun dip behind the mountains and palm trees.

Famous Faces

Just off Dean Martin Drive, you'll find this gated greenbelt oasis in the middle of the desert. Set within seven and a half acres of immaculately landscaped grounds, wide walkways lead to small lakes with fountains, plus a couple of nearby tennis courts. Inside this vast hacienda-style home, there's plenty of room for socialising inside and out. The heated pool and spa are the headline attractions, but you've got plenty of options, whether you're dining, seeking a shaded siesta spot, or looking for a corner to curl up with a book. The beautiful poolside stone patio continues inside, blurring the lines between the two areas and leading you into the beautiful single-storey space. The interior is decorated in bright, neutral tones to maximise the natural light and offset the hardwood kitchen and bathroom cabinets, topped with reassuringly hefty marble. Despite the feeling of privacy and seclusion afforded by your gated community, you're only a fifteen-minute drive from Downtown Palm Springs – perfect for when you fancy indulging in some retail therapy or a gourmet experience in one of its celebrated restaurants.

Let the Good Times In

Calling all golfers – this home in Cathedral City puts the fairways within easy reach. It's set in a golf community with views of the surrounding mountains. We love how bright the living area is, not to mention the sense of space here. Grown-ups can unwind with a glass of wine in front of the fire, while a handy second lounge is perfect for kids. There's also a patio facing a small lake, ideal for evening barbecues. Keen to explore? Hiking trails await in the Coachella Valley, and shops, restaurants, and bars in Palm Springs are a short drive away.
