Whether you're heading for Indian Wells, Coachella, or PGA West (or just looking for somewhere to soak up the Valley sunshine), this home ticks all the boxes. Although you're only a short drive from Joshua Tree, the gorgeous outdoor space couldn't be more unlike a desert – the lagoon-style pool, lawn, and cabana are surrounded by palm trees and lush greenery. Little ones (and big kids) can amuse themselves with ping pong and basketball, while avid chefs will likely head straight for the outdoor grills. The separate living rooms offer larger groups the choice to unwind separately – but as the sun sets, there's nowhere better to gather than around the fire pit.

High Desert Dreams

Experience the history of old town, La Quinta first hand at this casita complex. The protected indoor/outdoor dining space with white-wash walls, wicker lampshades and Mexican blankets paint a scene out of an old western. A private pool and spa is shared between the two casitas for families and friends to come together for some fun in the sun, or an evening barbecue. Bikes are also available should you want to make a short cycle to the shops and restaurants of La Quinta. Inside, the rustic white walls, exposed beams and wooden flooring continue the historic feel. Though the sleek, stainless steel appliances in the otherwise rustic kitchen are distinctly 21st-century, there is no escaping the old-world charm of this place. Having said that, no one is leaving you totally disconnected, with modern comforts of wifi, Apple TV, and bluetooth sound systems. It is up to you whether you want to switch off here. Old or new, this is the best of both.  

Cactus Rose

The luxury location of La Quinta is fondly known as The Gem of the Desert. And within this city of precious stones, this house is one of the most beautiful diamonds. Lush, trailing foliage leads up the winding path to the entrance of this villa, where inside, the interiors exude warmth, elegance, and style. We love the rustic touches and natural fibres – think wicker, wood, and woven fabrics. But it’s the outdoors that make this diamond truly sparkle. Open the doors out to the pergola, where you can grill lunch on the barbecue and dine alfresco. Then lie back in the sun loungers, swim in the heated pool, or soak in the hot tub – it's like living in your own private resort. Speaking of which, as one of the USA’s leading golf destinations, you’re surrounded by world-class courses (your nearest is just over two miles away). You can spend a morning on the lush green, then the afternoon in the desert. In less than twenty-five minutes, experience the surreal landscapes of Coachella Valley National Park. After such action-packed days out, you’ll love coming back for margaritas by the poolside as you watch the stars.

Precious Stones

With a stunning backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains, this home sets the tone for a blissful getaway in Indian Wells. You’ll be treated to a private pool with an integrated Jacuzzi, and there’s a terrace with a fire-pit for magical evenings under the stars. Head inside and you’ll find plenty of home comforts as well as space to stretch out and socialise. The main bedroom is a special highlight with an en-suite featuring a tub for long relaxing soaks. And when it comes to location, it’s just a short stroll to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, while Coachella Valley and Palm Springs are within easy reach.  


Desert Modernity

Blueberry Flapjack is particularly kind to groups of friends and families who have an athletic streak and love the outdoors. With the Indian Wells Tennis Garden an eight-minute drive away, and a golf course within sight, it's safe to say your adrenaline will be pumping throughout. This newly remodelled home sits on the fairway, and is a two-minute walk from the community pool. 

When you’re not swimming in the pool or working up a sweat, you’ll revel in the peaceful vibe of this lovely home. The beds are oh-so-comfortable so you’re guaranteed a great night’s sleep, and there are plenty of cosy corners for you to curl up in during the day. You’ll love the open-plan dining and living space, where you can lounge together watching movies and eat breakfast at the counter. 

If you want to get in a little retail therapy, the excellent shopping scene of El Paseo is thirteen minutes away by car. Downtown La Quinta is fourteen minutes away, and is the perfect shout for dining out and soaking up the atmosphere. 


Blueberry Flapjack

Set on the stunning backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains, this home is nestled in the residential area of La Quinta Cove where vistas of the mature desert are rivalled by Mountainous views – pretty much everywhere you look. Take in the unobstructed scenes from the comfort of your own grade, where you'll have private access to your very own pool (including inflatable flamingos), sun loungers, and an outdoor kitchen for delicious barbecues. While the weather is usually hot here, the garden retains some shaded areas from the wealth of trees and plants that surround it. The interior has been carefully designed to reflect the laid-back California lifestyle, as the boho-eclectic designs present warm hues in beige, white and brown that instantly make you feel relaxed. Exposed wooden beams and plenty of green plants allow you to feel like you're at one with the local nature – even when hanging out inside. We particularly love the stylish patterned rugs and wall hangings that finish off the home, just like a cosy hug. Located 25 miles from Palm Springs, you're not too far from the glitz and glamour of luxurious golf courses, shopping and restaurants, but the local desert and mountain trails are what truly appeal from this home.  


Desert Dreamin'

Nestled between the desert and the mountains, this pad in Palm Desert is your own little oasis. With shopping, restaurants, bars and golf mere minutes away in any direction, you’ll feel slap bang in the centre of everything, but you’ll also have this relaxed, private home to return to when you’re ready. 

Ten can share the space comfortably and we love that the design has been thoughtfully laid out to ensure everyone can make the most of it, whether the kids want to splash about in the lagoon-style pool, you want a quiet moment by the fire or the group fancy a game of pool. Choose between the main lounge with its big windows, or the family snug with its huge TV – both have their own fireplace. 

Taking the luxury levels a step further, the host is always getting compliments on how comfortable the beds are. There’s also the option for a private chef to put that marble-topped professional kitchen through its paces, or arranging a massage without leaving the comfort of the home. It’s convenience and indulgence combined, and it’s all yours. 

Sandy Crest

Right in the heart of the Coachella Valley, this villa is all grandeur and muted tones inside, and a riot of colour and fun outside. While chandeliers twinkle above the grand piano in the living room and granite counters gleam in the kitchen, this home opens out onto a playground of palm trees and gardens galore. With floating, covered day beds in the turquoise waters of the private pool, to surrounding sofas around a fire pit, poolside bar, and stone hot tub, this is the place to lap up the life of luxury. Lush green grass encourages the kids to run wild, while a pool table and basketball hoops are all set up to get the whole party involved in some healthy competition. A built-in barbecue and cooking area overlooking the pool keeps the fun going outdoors and is all set to fuel you for a day of hiking ahead. There are loads of local trails in the area, and Joshua Tree National Park is a short drive away. Give in to the total lux experience and call on some extra services, from private chefs, to massages and manicures. This place is all about indulgence.

All The Colours

It's an oasis of calm and solitude in the heart of the Palm Desert – for an ultra-private retreat to California, this home really hits the mark. With a sublime backdrop of the Santa Rosa mountains, a luscious green garden – complete with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, fire pit and an alfresco dining area – you'll be drawn to the great outdoors here. But, when you're not lying around in the backyard, spend time relaxing in the modern and breathable home with chic interiors, exposed beam ceilings, quirky animal print upholsteries and an egg-shaped swing seat. Start the day with your morning java around the sleek breakfast bar, while mapping out the day's adventure. Speaking of, you're just a twenty-two-minute drive from Coachella Valley and an eighteen-minute stroll to La Quinta's Old Town, so whether you're keen to explore the surrounding natural beauty or sample delicious South American cuisine, this location allows access to the best of both worlds. 

Lilypad

This La Quinta hideaway ticks all the boxes, as far as we're concerned. The backyard is an absolute haven – while away afternoons in the sparkling pool, fire up the built-in barbecue for an alfresco dinner and nibble on the fresh fruit from the citrus tree. There's also a bubbling hot tub – perfect for those chilly evenings as the sun goes down – and, of course, the views of the San Jacinto Mountains don't disappoint. Inside, the design is the epitome of Cali-casual style – think mid-century furniture, boho accents and breezy, light-filled living spaces. Home chefs can easily prepare meals in the well-stocked kitchen, while a cosy living area and four bedrooms (one of which is a private-entry casita) means everyone will have plenty of space and privacy. No detail has been overlooked – there are white noise machines and charging ports in each bedroom, a walk-in closet and soaker bathtub in the master suite as well as kid-friendly items like plug socket covers and children's dinnerware that parents will appreciate. Location-wise, this home is in the sought-after Desert Club Estates, just a ten-minute walk from Old Town's restaurants, bars and shops. You're surrounded by some world-class golfing and hiking, but if you're in the mood for a day trip, Joshua Tree National Park is a forty-five-minute drive.

One Hot Afternoon

Set in a gated community in Indio, April Showers offers the kind of luxury that the Coachella Valley is famous for. This isn't your regular Indio home with a wraparound backyard, a huge open-plan living room, and a split-level pool and spa. We particularly love the homely charm that features throughout the property – from the moment you arrive, expect to be greeted with a warmth comparable to the feeling of stepping inside your own home. Since the sun is always shining around here, you'll probably want to spend most of your time outside in the garden – whether it's for a game of ping pong, a dip in the pool, or to fire up the barbecue, gather the group together to enjoy a sociable affair from day through to evening. While there's plenty to keep you occupied on-site, this characterful villa also works beautifully as a base from which to explore the happening area. If you're into golf, this is something of a pilgrimage site. Not only is the vast PGA West complex just a few blocks away, but there are countless courses within a ten-minute drive. And there is undoubtedly plenty around to keep you busy if you aren't so keen on golf – La Quinta boasts a vast array of upmarket shops and restaurants, less than a ten-minute drive away. Did we mention that the Empire Polo Club, better known as the site of the Coachella music festival, happens to be reachable in just a six-minute drive?
