This Palm Springs home is part of an exclusive community in the southeast of the city. With a fabulous range of amenities and easy access to all the delights of Coachella Valley, it's the perfect place to begin your desert adventures. 

The interior is a careful blend of classic style and pop-art-inspired flourishes, providing a true feast for the eyes. Mix your favorite cocktail at the wet bar and flop down on one of the sofas as you admire the vaulted ceilings and carefully-curated collection of artworks. You'll also have your own terrace, where you can enjoy an alfresco meal in the warm Californian sunshine. And, there's even a shared swimming pool for refreshing dips when the temperature rises, along with a hot tub for alfresco soaks under the stars. 

Golf fans will be delighted that the nearest course is just a two-minute drive away, and there are several others to choose from in the area. Hikers can join the Hermit Crest Trail, just twenty minutes away on foot, to enjoy spectacular views across the desert towns. And, if you prefer a slower pace, take a ten-minute drive into downtown Palm Springs to browse the boutiques and indulge at the delicious restaurants.

With its blend of mid-century modern, pop art and Art Deco furnishings, this home in Palm Springs exudes glamour and style. Built in 1976, this home has been carefully curated with comfort and elegance in mind by its owner, a lead designer for the last four American presidents. From the vaulted cathedral-style ceilings to the raised dining room, wet-bar and Marilyn Monroe-inspired master bedroom, there’s a constant kaleidoscope of colours, textures and artistic marvels here to admire against the windows’ beautiful mountain views. Step out of the living room and onto your private terrace where an outdoor sofa, table and chairs invite sunset drinks and alfresco meals surrounded by the lawn’s grapefruit, avocado, tangerine and lemon trees. Outside of your home, you’ve got access to the three communal swimming pools and hot tubs, as well as the shared tennis and pickleball courts to ramp up some friendly competition while catching those California rays. With the Tahquitz Creek Golf Course a ten-minute walk away, plenty of nearby cycling and hiking trails and Downtown Palm Springs just a ten-minute drive from your door, there’s no end to the fun and relaxation to be had here.

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.

A featured home in the prestigious Modernism Tour in 2024, Mod Squad is a chic tranquil paradise on a quiet street on the 8th fairway of the Tahquitz Creek Legend Golf Course in the center of Palm Springs. 

The attention to detail and creativity that went into this home is next level - we certainly weren't surprised when we found out the revamp was courtesy of a hip San Francisco architect and photographer team. It effortlessly blends modern style and vintage flourishes, with Orla Kiely wallpaper, a Scandinavian-style fireplace and bright red 60s-style tub chairs. The sunshine is never far away whether you're inside or out, thanks to the vibrant pops of colour (think lemon yellow cushions, blazing orange rugs and lush green artwork) and a glass door in the living room that completely folds away to let the warm Californian air breeze right through the home. On the patio you can chill out under the turquoise parasol while contemplating lighting the barbecue or taking a dip in the saltwater pool. (We know which we'd choose). And golf fans rejoice: this home is on 8th fairway at the Tahquitz Creek Legend Golf Course in the centre of Palm Springs. Non-golf fans shouldn't worry, the buzz of Palm Springs is only a 10-minute drive away.

Nice to haves

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.

This one-of-a-kind mid-century home has a retro feel about it and is distinctly Mieselman and Alexander-esque with its clean lines and flat roof. The back garden looks out towards the San Jacinto mountains and Coachella valley. Watch the sunset around the kidney-shaped pool or stargaze by the firepit. With the sun shining almost every day, meals are best enjoyed outdoors, and you can easily hide away from the heat under the covered terrace as a ceiling fan whirrs overhead. Make the most of the Dyna-Glo Signature Series Smoker and stainless steel BBQ grill when you rustle up some juicy burgers. Inside, the central living area has a quirky 60s vibe with pop art on the walls and lime-green egg chairs by the fireplace. Open up the sliding glass doors in the morning and head for the pool. All the bedrooms have smart TVs and are laid out at opposite corners of the home so you can escape in the evening and enjoy some peace. If you want to head out as a group, you’re just five minutes away from the Ritz Rancho Mirage rooftop bar. 

Butterfly Reasoning

This tranquil haven of a home sits within a private gated compound not far from Rancho Mirage. It’s a true hilltop retreat offering beautiful views across the desert peaks of Southern California. The expansive infinity pool reflects the perfect blue of the sky and is surrounded by neatly landscaped gardens. Tuscan-style arches connect the sleek interior spaces with the impressive outdoors, and there's even an outdoor lounge with a fireplace, so this home is perfect for outdoor living all year round. Cook up a storm on the barbecue then soak in the hot tub and watch the stars come out and the city lights twinkling in the distance. On cooler evenings, two guests can find privacy in the casita, while the rest of the group gathers around the indoor fireplace for a night of games and chatter.

Live the jet-set lifestyle at this Palm Springs villa of grand entrances and epic proportions. On arrival you’ll discover an elegant Spanish colonial-style home, sprawling out luxuriously across one level. Slide open its French doors to reveal interiors worthy of a design magazine cover – vaulted ceilings, lofty bedrooms (each with their own bathroom and patio), and an achingly-cool living space that begs to be lounged around in. 

Carrying on outside, through magnificent gardens, you’ll discover a contemporary two-storey pool house that brings this place right into the 21st century, with one of the most well-equipped gyms we ever did see. But the star of the show has to be the pool and gardens. With 360-degree mountain vistas, soaring palm trees, lush lawns, and hummingbirds busy going about their day, there is no better place to be. Start the day with a few lengths in the pool and soak in the spa, before settling down on one of the many sun decks to catch some rays. 

When it’s time to rustle up a meal, fire up the barbecue in the impressive outdoor dining area, while friends gather around the fire pit. Or let a private chef take over in the gourmet kitchen, complete with a wine fridge and built-in coffee maker to cover off all the essentials. And should you be tempted to stray from this desert retreat, you’ll find downtown Palm Springs a mere fifteen minutes drive away. Though why you’d ever want to leave is anyone’s guess.

Adorned with colourful tiling, vintage furnishings and fountains, this characterful home is influenced by Spanish haciendas. Differing from some of the more minimal homes in the surrounding area, the stylish pad celebrates colour and creativity, with unique artworks and custom sinks. Families and groups of friends can host dinner parties in the outdoor kitchen, relax indoors with the Sonos sound system or take a short trip to downtown Palm Springs.

After a morning lounging by the saltwater pool, choose from the many hiking trails in your immediate vicinity, hop in the car and you'll be there in around five minutes. The Indian Canyons, comprising three individual canyons, is a spectacular expanse of mountains and desert – whether you're up for a hefty walk, a picnic, or even a quick snap for social media, you couldn't be better located.

Revel in the mountain views from this stylish single-story home, complete with a private pool, spa, a fire pit, and space for alfresco dining. The home has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms with a sofa bed, making it perfect for couples with kids or a group of friends. Powered by Alexa, you'll be able to control the window shades, patio lights, music, and even the spa heat and jets with only your voice. Entertainment options abound with board games, a record player, cornhole, and a foosball table. The home is centrally located to all that Palm Springs has to offer including golf resorts, fantastic local restaurants, and art exhibits.

We’re willing to bet that some good-natured individual watched a rainbow materialise in the sky, grabbed a handful of the resulting magic, threw it in a gift box wrapped in serenity and released it into this home. With eye-catching custom murals and generous touches of blue all around, you’ll find yourself in an oasis as exuberant as the outdoors of Palm Springs that Hollywood stars can’t seem to get enough of. 

The home is a mid-century modern delight, and you’ll find a library with a lounge just for reading, a pool terrace dotted with energising palm trees and sensational views of the mountains, and a games room made for indulging in some friendly competition with your fellow guests. You won't want to leave but if you ever decide to, an adventure is always calling out in the Indian Canyons and you’re a five-minute drive from the eclectic mix of shops (everything from candy shops to record stores) in Downtown Palm Springs.

The Blue Ridge

Free Parking

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

Jacuzzi

Fenced Pool

The architect who designed and built this Palm Springs abode was inspired by Santorini – this home is truly unique for its desert setting. You'll be greeted by the curved walls of Cycladic design, a private pool and hot tub, and a resort-style garden. Or, you can ascend the tower to find an observation deck that looks out over the desert – the perfect perch for cocktails. It's spread over a main house and a smaller casita and features century-old beams from a 120-year-old farmhouse and marble imported from Greece. It’s a magnificent home. 

Sandcastles in the Desert

Stair Gates

This mid-century gem was built by the renowned architect Fredrick Monhoff, designer of the historic Biltmore Hotel. We love this exceptional home – it seamlessly blends the indoors and outdoors. It's the perfect place to gather with your family and friends to enjoy Palm Springs living at its best. Lounge by the inviting pool, or spend evenings star gazing next to the fire pit (there are two to choose from). Multiple water features provide soothing sounds, while the views of the mountains are fabulous, especially as the sun begins to set. Inside is no less impressive with walls of glass, chic concrete flooring and a cool bar lounge area – this home was designed for entertaining, so mix up a whiskey sour or another drink of your choice and relax. As you'd expect with a luxurious home, all the bedrooms are en-suite – the huge second-story master suite, accessed by a custom-made steel staircase, has its own dedicated sitting area overlooking the lush gardens and sparkling swimming pool. With so much on offer here, we wouldn't want to leave, but if you do want to explore out and about – the village-like atmosphere of the Tahquitz River Estates has vintage shops to browse and a diverse dining scene. For even more restaurant choices, head to Downtown Palm Springs, a five-minute drive away or under a ten-minute cycle ride on the bikes provided by your hosts.

An Architect's Dream

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

With jaw-dropping views over Coachella's palm-spangled valley, this Palm Springs villa (designed by architect R. Denzil Lee) is an ode to mid-century vogue. The sunken living room is a sumptuous affair with its huge open fireplace, plush furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic vistas over the San Jacinto mountains. Watch the sunrise from the large L–shaped sofa, or take in sunset views from the sparkling drinks bar. No matter what time of day, your living backdrop will never cease to steal your breath away. The four large bedrooms are decked out in glamorous Hollywood Regency style with mirrored walls and a master spa-like shower adding to the interior’s swoon-worthy decadence. It’s the outdoors, though, that really steals the show. Head out to the dazzling boulder-framed pool that fits jigsaw-like into the surrounding cliffs. Take a dip after a morning spent soaking up the Californian sun and splash under the stunning waterfall feature. You'll also find a hot tub and a fire pit, both perfect for late-evening gatherings after a starlit alfresco dinner. When you’re not busy luxuriating in your cliffside oasis, explore the area's world-class golf courses, hiking trails and Palm Springs' downtown delights, all just a short drive away.

Cliffside Rocks

In the heart of a residential neighbourhood at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains, this sparking villa is a spectacular home with touches that resemble the safari lodges of East Africa. This Palm Springs home boasts stylish bathrooms, a saltwater pool overlooked by mountains, and a kitchen equipped with all the appliances you'll need. After a languorous day spent lounging in the hot desert air and a quick rinse in the outdoor shower, fix up a couple of piña coladas and challenge your party to a few rounds of pool or poker inside – it's the ideal space for filling those couple of hours in-between afternoon and evening activities or hosting a games night. At night, stargazing around the fire pit is a memorable experience in itself. Whether you're here for the hikes of desert living or to discover the eclectic dining and nightlife of Downtown Palm Springs (a five-minute drive away), this home is simply irresistible. 

A Lodge Under Sands

Garden Games

Amidst the mountain views and palm trees of Palm Springs, this home is in a residential area surrounded by the city's famous golf courses. The saltwater pool can be heated for an additional fee while the spa is heated for free, and you'll have sun loungers and even a poolside bar for relaxing. The kids will enjoy the mini putting course in the zen rock garden, and the firepit is great for evenings under the stars. For added luxury, your host can provide extra services like private chefs, massages, and local excursions to make your trip unforgettable.

Desert Crescent

Children's Dinnerware

This home is tucked in a quiet neighbourhood of trendy Palm Springs, just a short drive from the downtown area and within easy reach of desert attractions like the Aerial Tramway and Joshua Tree National Park. But that's if you make it out the front door – you might be content to spend all day relaxing at home. Unwind in the chic garden, either in the swimming pool, hot tub, or hammock, or challenge friends or family to a game of cornhole or bocce. You'll have a great view of the San Jacinto mountains as you rustle up food on the barbecue, and when the sun has set, gather around the fire pit for an evening to remember.

This desert home is simply breathtaking. Set in the sought-after Mesa neighbourhood, just a few minutes drive from central Palm Springs, it's a notable piece of mid-century architecture that's been reimagined to create the perfect luxurious retreat. High in the hills, with the rocky outcrops as its dramatic backdrop, it's cool, contemporary and as stylish as they come. Seemingly built into the rocky hillside itself, the steps up to the front door lead to a single storey home with vast window walls to make the most of the incredible 200-degree views over the mountain ranges, valley floor and the city. There's a comfortable living room with a cosy fireplace, which opens onto a modern kitchen with spaces to eat as a group both indoors and out. And while two fabulous bedrooms are in the central part of the house, the added casita is just on the other side of the outdoor lounge area and boasts metallic walls and a graffiti wall of song lyrics behind the bed, which gives it its nickname 'Love Shack'. Add in a few bonus features like an outdoor bar, barbecue, fire pits, infinity pool with a spa, and we think this place is really rather special.

Pour Me A Dream

Sitting on the outer edges of Palm Springs, this condo is relatively humble, especially when compared to a lot of the lavish addresses found in the local area. The design is minimalist and inoffensive, with white walls, wooden surfaces and a few pieces of artwork peppered about the walls – although we have to concede that the fireplace adds a degree of much-welcomed hygge.

What really elevates the home, however, is the communal amenities to which guests enjoy access. Just thirty yards from the glass doors, there's an invitingly blue swimming pool and neighbouring hot tub, all surrounded by loungers and Hockney-esque palm trees. If that all sounds a little too sedate, you may also be happy to hear that there are also a pair of tennis courts and a pickle ball court, with racquets available to borrow in the home.

When you want to see a little more of Palm Springs, the Downtown neighbourhood is just over five minutes' drive away and offers a plethora of restaurants, galleries and shops. Further afield, the area is celebrated for its impressive amount of golf courses, plus some sensational hiking routes in Mt San Jacinto National Park.

Springs Eternal

This luxurious home is an architectural delight, with clean lines, vaulted ceilings and moveable walls of glass. There's a grand living space, with a cosy fire as the central feature. The big bedrooms are all en-suite, each with its own access to the garden – perfect for lazy Sunday mornings. Framed by towering palms, the garden has not one but two pools. Practice your lengths in the 25-meter lap pool, soak in the spa or simply sunbathe with a martini shaken (or stirred) for you at the bar. This little slice of eden sits below the Santa Rosa Mountains, and the dramatic landscape is best viewed from around the fire pit. In the heart of Rancho Mirage, there are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, and Palm Springs is just twenty five minutes away by car. 

Palm Trees In Paradise

If you're looking for good old unadulterated fun, look no further. This playful spot in Palm Springs is full of cool, quirky touches inside and out. It's impossible to talk about this home without mentioning the garden's rainbow-bright treehouse that doubles as a unique poolside cocktail bar – it's the kind of bar you'd expect to find in a kooky beach resort. Staying out under the desert sun, there's an outdoor kitchen with loads of prep space, a swimming pool, a hot tub, a bocce ball court, and shaded comfy sofas round the firepit. Inside, this 70s style home stays true to it's mid-century roots, with exposed wooden ceilings and walls splashed with pop art. Cream sofas provide a comfy spot by the open fire, and you can choose to dine at the breakfast bar or large dining table in the retro kitchen area, both with colourful Eames-inspired seating. The bedrooms feel quintessentially Palm Springs too, with vintage photography referencing the film stars that flocked to the area in its glamorous heyday. And if you want to explore Palm Springs itself, you're a four-minute drive from the glitz and glam of Downtown – or a thirty-minute walk for those who fancy stretching their legs and topping up their tan. 

The Fruit Bowl

Just on the outskirts of town and nestled deeply into the edge of the San Jacinto Mountains, Golden Suncup is a haven for mid-century aficionados. Built in 1975, you can get a real feel for that infamous Palm Springs atmosphere with its custom-designed pool and sliding glass doors. Four large bedrooms, each with a king bed, await your arrival. Whether you want to lounge by the pool all day, get some work done inside, cook up a storm in the state-of-the-art kitchen, or explore the area, there's enough to do to keep the entire group entertained. 

Golden Suncup

Private Parking

Accessible Parking

Forget mid-century inspired – this central Palm Springs bungalow is the real retro deal, and we couldn't love it more.

Sweeping onto the private driveway of this architectural masterpiece is like stepping back in time. And things only get better inside, with collectable sputnik feature lights, original teak antique pieces, and curated artwork bringing all the Palm Springs vibes. 

Spend lazy, hazy days hopping between that saltwater pool and spa Jacuzzi outside and soaking up the desert sun from the landscaped terrace. You can always cool things down a notch beneath the retractable awning with the patio misters on full steam – what bliss.

At dusk, as the sun dips behind the magnificent canyons in the distance and the garden lights begin to glow, this place takes on an ambient feel that's so very LA. Get together for barbecues at the alfresco dining area – the views of the mountains are magnificent from here. Then keep the night flowing with some post-dinner drinks in downtown Palm Springs (just a short drive away). Just be sure to squeeze in some time for stargazing around the firepit before you lay your heads – it's quite a show.

Midcentury Dreamin'

Flamboyance Central offers you privacy and seclusion in the exclusive Thunderbird Estate while also being located in the heart of Rancho Mirage. The city is full of bustling shops and restaurants while also offering easy access to many hiking trails and golf courses. 

In and around the house, you can enjoy the infinity pool and outdoor shower or feast on meals prepared in the outdoor kitchen. For games and entertainment, you will have a ping pong table, croquet lawn and bocce ball court. 
Inside, the king sized bedrooms each with their own private access to the outdoors rounds off this statement home.
