This chic home is an excellent example of mid-century modern architecture, set just two blocks away from iconic Palm Canyon Drive. The effortlessly cool interiors give a nod to the past, with antique style patterned rugs, statement lighting and unique artworks on the walls. Outside, there's a glittering swimming pool, lined with bright white sun loungers and tangerine parasols, where you can take a dip with the dramatic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains. If you fancy getting active, take a hike up to the peaks, or hop on the aerial tramway to avoid breaking a sweat – either way, you'll be treated to jaw-dropping views over Coachella Valley. Come home for a sundowner on the terrace, before stretching out on the curved green sofas with a classic Hollywood movie.

If the interiors of this minimalist home appear to have jumped straight out of the pages of a glossy magazine, you’re not far off. This home, designed by Palmer and Kriesel is hidden away in a Palm Springs cul-de-sac and has previously graced the pages of the New York Times. Homage to all things mid-century, with Eames chairs, Nelson lamps and a vintage Malm fireplace in the master bedroom.

We were wowed by the open living area, designed with socialising in mind and with great views of the backyard. Out in the garden, reclining by the shimmering turquoise pool is the perfect way to unwind, but if you need to take your relaxing to the next level, there’s also a hot tub to bubble the night away in. Dine alfresco under the endless desert sky, then end the evening around the flickering fire pit with a glass of something strong as the sun sets behind the mountains.

When you want to venture out, downtown Palm Springs is only a five-minute drive away, and Joshua Tree National Park, roughly an hour away, is a must-see for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Visit The Palm Springs Art Museum, an eight-minute drive away which features complex sculptures, glassworks, and photographs by renowned artists such as Andy Warhol and Diane Arbus.

Inside, an open lounge is centred around a stylish fireplace with chic period furniture. The dining area is separated from the kitchen by a breakfast bar, beyond which you'll find everything you need to cook up a feast for the whole family.

There's even more living space outside, inviting you to spend sun-soaked days under cloudless skies. The kidney-shaped pool offers a chance to cool off from the heat of the day in between sun lounger sessions, while those who prefer to stick to the shade can lounge on the outdoor sofa under the bright blue parasol. 

The adjacent hot tub makes for romantic nights staring up at the stars, followed by cosying up around the fire pit to dry off before dinner. Tuck into sumptuous homemade meals fresh from the grill, or bring in the professionals for restaurant-quality food in the comfort of your home. Alternatively, stroll half an hour into central Palm Springs to experience the dynamic desert dining scene.

Silent Cinema

Packed with character, this 1940s home could have been ripped straight from a magazine spread. The interior is picture-perfect, with bohemian chic and Southern California style. The high ceilings, wood beams and white-painted walls in the living space give it a light and fresh feel. There are entertaining touches, from the all-in-one 'spool' (spa and pool) to the outdoor kitchen and the indoor swing seat. Close to the Uptown Design District, driving here is optional as galleries, boutiques and restaurants are within walking distance. If you don't want to cook yourself there's also the option to organise a private chef.

This chic 1960s home, with interior design by award-winning designer Christopher Kennedy, has serious vacation vibes in every corner. From the inviting turquoise of the swimming pool and spa to the flamingo pink picnic table and rainbow mural, the outdoor space is a feast for the eyes. Midnight blue sofas and a retro hanging egg chair provide relaxing spots in the shade, and the hammock strung between two palm trees has incredible views of the nearby The San Jacinto Mountains. Inside, you'll find bold patterned wallpaper and velvet furniture, providing a cool respite from the heat of the day. The surrounding Sunrise Park neighbourhood is quiet yet trendy – you will find a selection of restaurants and shops just a short stroll away, along with a Sunday farmer's market. Whether you spend your days shopping at the boutiques along Palm Canyon Drive, or hiking through Joshua Tree National Park, you'll be glad to return to this slice of paradise, light the fire pit and enjoy a cool drink as the sun goes down.

Capturing the magic of Californian glamour, this striking home is the work of iconic architect Jack Meiselman. Built in 1959, it's been lovingly restored to include all the creature comforts we demand today, while preserving its mid-century design. Rustle up a feast in the modern kitchen and choose between the formal dining space inside or the covered terrace out back – cooled with its own integrated misting system. Escape the heat in the saltwater pool and spa, then knock back a tipple or two with friends around the fire pit. The best of Palm Springs is right on your doorstep, so if you’d rather head out for the evening, quality dining options are just a stroll away.

The communal areas have been thoughtfully styled to inspire a wonderful sense of intimacy – you’ll love gathering around the table for beautiful dinners or cuddling up on the sofa in the living room. Outside, the playful spirit of this home really shines. With expansive views across the mountains, you could spend your days out here by the pool, sipping drinks in the shade, cooking in the outdoor kitchen, and simply soaking in the natural abundance of this setting. 

Located in a quiet and friendly neighbourhood, you’ll find Victoria Park is a six–minute walk away, while Downtown Palm Springs is only a seven–minute drive away. Wherever the day takes you, this home is the perfect setting for alfresco dining and drinks as the sun sets. 

The Palm Breeze 

This magnificent mid-century modern home is pure Palm Springs perfection. Located in the historic Racquet Club Estates neighbourhood, this awesome Alexander Butterfly home – so called because it was built by the iconic Alexander Construction Company is both stylish and sophisticated, evoking the Palm Springs of yesteryear. Featuring a light-filled open plan kitchen, dining and living room – think clean lines, clerestory windows and an arty mid-century modern inspired aesthetic – courtesy of floor to ceiling sliding glass doors, this heritage home really does have it all. What’s more, the best is yet to come – you’ll also be treated to mesmerising mountain views from your sun-drenched garden complete with a private, heated, outdoor pool, hot tub, fire pit and an alfresco barbecue, lounging and dining terrace.  We don’t know about you, but that sounds like heaven to us.

Suited to socialising as well as seclusion, this captivating Californian home will have you feeling rested and relaxed in no time. You’ll love taking your morning coffee out onto the terrace and admiring magnificent mountain views, lazing on loungers in the sun or seeking shade beneath terrific turquoise parasols. Cool off with a refreshing dip in the pool or luxuriate in the hot tub, cold drink in hand before preparing firm family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen or barbecuing to your heart’s content in the outdoor kitchen. Dine alfresco altogether while enjoying absolute privacy. Treat yourself to an afternoon spent hanging out in the hammock, reading, reclining or simply gazing up at the swaying palms above you, and, as the light fades gather around the fire pit for deep and meaningful chats and digestifs.

If you fancy getting out and about, you’ll find your home’s location within walking distance of the world-famous Palm Canyon Drive with its art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, cabarets and clubs, what could be better?  


Butterfly Chic

Record Player

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

Pool / Snooker Table

Bringing together the best of the swinging sixties and the twenty-first century, this mesmerising home is perfect for those wanting to feel like the movie stars who once called Palm Springs their playground. A large, open-plan living area serves as the main social hub in this house, allowing guests to spend quality time together or find a quiet corner to themselves. Adorned with pictures of the first Apollo Mission and decorated with a nod to the glamour of popular James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever (which was filmed at the nearby Elrod House in Palm Springs), there's so much to admire about this home. 

Thanks to the location in the heart of Palm Springs, you’ll be spoilt for restaurant choices and hiking trails. We recommend the fifteen-minute drive to the entrance of Indian Canyons. Here you'll be able to hike to incredible viewpoints before heading back down to stock up the energy levels with tasty cuisine. The traditional french food of Farm is highly commended here, and it's only a four-minute drive from the house. You could spend your days on one of the many famed golf courses in Palm Springs, but we guarantee you'll be spending most of your time in this home's garden. Whether you're splashing around in the swimming pool gauping at views of the mountains, practicing your swing on the private putting green, or sitting around the fire pit telling stories long into the night, it will be hard to tear yourself away from this wonderful space.

Find your desert paradise at this Moroccan-style villa in the heart of Palm Springs.

The private pool and spa can be heated for an additional fee, and the garden is spacious, with a bocce ball court and cornhole for kids, while the adults can enjoy the fire pit and barbecue. You'll find restaurants and shops right on your doorstep, but you might want a car for heading to the nearby golf course or immersing yourself in the lush desert landscape.

Dior's Hideaway

Flamingo-pink and turquoise are the themes of this renovated mid-century bungalow in Palm Springs. The exterior is a dusky peach while bright pink parasols shade the line of loungers by the turquoise swimming pool. Choose between cooling laps in the pool or simply sitting in the integrated jetted Jacuzzi. As the sunset silhouettes the surrounding palm trees against a glowing sky, it’s time to get the fire pit going on the terrace. There’s also a barbecue out here and plenty of room for the group to dine.

In typical Palm Springs style, floor-to-ceiling glass doors lead from the living area to the terrace, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. Plush velvet armchairs and a sofa are a nod to the 1960s and the living, dining room and kitchen are open-plan and sociable. We love the wicker chairs facing the terrace that feel as though you’re in a solarium. The added bonus is a garage converted into a separate games room so the kids can have their own space.

For all the restaurants, bakeries, cafes and shops of Downtown Palm Springs, it’s just a five-minute drive (or twenty-minute walk) to Palm Canyon Drive. You’re in the hip Movie Colony neighbourhood here where the mid-century homes have seen the likes of Frank Sinatra stay.

Built in 1959 and updated in 2020, Desert View is a mid-century modern classic with plenty of twenty-first-century amenities. The pool, for example, is remote-controlled for temperature, lighting and jets, and the entire house is self-powered with solar and heat-pump technology. Whether you're coming as a family or with your closest friends, Desert View offers a truly authentic Palm Springs experience, including panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and desert. Although we don't want to promise too much, we think Desert View might just surpass your expectations for a perfect Palm Springs getaway. 

Desert View

Formerly owned by Jeannette Edris Rockefellar, this home is set in the desirable neighbourhood of Palm Springs and actually served as the backdrop for a movie based on the wealthy. It’s easy to see why you’d feel like you’re living the Hollywood life here, especially given the sheer scale of each room. The piano and pool table also add to the luxury this home has to offer, but it’s not all gloss. The firepit near the pool and the fireplace in the lounge leans itself more to comfort, which makes for an interesting blend of sophisticated cosiness. 

With so many things to do on site, it might be difficult to leave, but even just strolling the calm roads of Old Las Palmas feels special, especially when you might end up spotting a celebrity. Constantly confronted with scenic mountain views, this home and its surrounding area is an oasis. Relax and reconnect in the private saltwater pool before dining alfresco. 

The View

This luxurious Palm Springs home is perfect for families, couples, and groups of friends looking for a glamorous vacation. The stunning mid-mod decor and contemporary art make for a playful vibe throughout the home. The living room and open kitchen/dining area are ideal for entertaining, with plenty of seating options both inside and out. The outdoor living space is beautifully landscaped, with a large pool, spa, fire pit, BBQ grill, and cornhole game providing ample entertainment options. Each of the three bedrooms is creatively decorated with lavish linens and decorative touches. The location is perfect for exploring downtown Palm Springs, dining, shopping, arts and culture, and outdoor activities. Multiple trailheads are only minutes away from the house.

Palm Springs Paradise

Stepping inside this Palm Springs home, we immediately were transported to the town's heyday, where mid-century movie stars flocked to the area for film premieres and sun-soaked getaways. This feels like a 1970s party pad, from the grassy outdoors and lengthy swimming pool, to the living room's stone fireplace. But it feels current too, thanks to colourful modern art, polished concrete floors, and a wet bar. Pops of colour liven up the clean, white bedrooms, and glorious floor-to-ceiling glass lets tonnes of sunlight flood this chic villa. Downtown Palm Springs is minutes away, with art museums, an eclectic dining scene, and vivacious gardens. No need to leave your home though as the grounds come with mountain views that, in our opinion, are some of the best in the area. Light the firepit to keep things warm when the sun goes down, a dream to watch the stars – or toast s'mores – under.



Orange Dusk

Located in Palm Springs' east Movie Colony, this villa has everything needed for a relaxing family break. Gorgeous surroundings, a private pool, a home gym, and plenty of space for alfresco dining. Your host can provide a cot and high chair as well as a fence for the pool to make travelling with little ones a breeze, and well-behaved pets are welcome to join you here. We highly recommend hiring a car for your stay – while some essentials aren't provided, it's not far to the nearest shops to stock up. You'll also find golf clubs and restaurants within easy driving distance.

From the moment you enter this Palm Springs villa, your eyes are drawn to the huge 3D sculptural wall piece stretching up to the ceiling of this soaring double-storied living space. It’s a bold artistic statement, and bold art is a theme that continues through this home. It's a thrilling cocktail of bright colour and idiosyncratic prints that create a vibe that’s anything but bland. Through to the bedrooms, where you'll find snazzy patterns, vibrant decor and striking feature walls. We told you this was a one-of-a-kind. Likewise, the comfort levels are far from ordinary, with a massive open-plan sitting room to relax in and a private courtyard complete with sun loungers and a jacuzzi – this isn't a case of style over substance. Less than a ten-minute walk from the Palm Springs conference centre, and perfectly located for easy access to the city’s bars, restaurants and boutiques as well as the hiking and climbing of the surrounding desert, this home is a luxurious art gallery of an escape. 

Squiggle Scribble

Ever wondered what it'd be like to party with Elvis? Well, you might not be able to actually party with him, but you'll get pretty close to it in this home. The founder of 20th Century Fox, Daryl Zanuck, was once the proud owner of this mid-century, palm tree-lined estate in Palm Springs. And of the many A-listers that visited, Elvis was one of them!

In this historic and glamorous neighbourhood of Old Las Palmas, you're rubbing shoulders with the homes of movie stars past and present. The feeling of Hollywood's Golden Age is unmissable, and you'll certainly feel the glamour in this home. Lush gardens, a glittering pool, and a stone waterfall hot tub are the perfect welcome to this Palm Springs oasis. Spend lazy days lounging by the pool, sipping on a cocktail, surrounded by flourishing gardens. When dinnertime rolls around, tuck in to barbecue dinners around the bistro table. Or, take the twenty-minute walk or five-minute drive to the centre of Palm Springs where you'll find plenty of restaurants, bars, and clubs. By day, Palm Springs almost looks like it's been dipped in sepia, epitomising hazy California dreaming. By night, it comes alive with neon signs and twinkling lights. When you return home, enjoy an obligatory nightcap in the hot tub, before sinking into your bed for a restful night's sleep.

Modern Passe

On a corner spot surrounded by high hedges, this Palm Springs home feels private and peaceful. Inside, mid-century style mixes with tropical colours and patterns, which makes for quite a playful atmosphere. There's nothing shy about it, but we love the whimsical wallpaper choices and bold pops of colour. But the real draw here is the garden. As well as the oval-shaped pool, there’s a gas fire pit built into the ground, a croquet lawn and a barbecue, all with views of the San Jacinto Mountains. It's your own little oasis — you can easily spend all day cooling off in the pool and lounging in the sun. If you feel up for an adventure, downtown Palm Springs is just a twenty-minute walk away, and there are plenty of nature trails and hiking spots close by, too. 

The Colony

This home looks like it’s come straight from the pages of an editorial spread. Colourful and cool, it’s bound to impress. We love the walls of glass that flood the inside spaces with light and showcase wonderful mountain views. 

There are quirky curios at every turn here, from pink flamingos to a vintage motel sign in the garden – you won’t be short of Insta-worthy backgrounds. Flick through the pages of a magazine while sipping lemonade in the chic living space, or curl up by the fire if you want to feel cosy. Whip up dishes in the well-equipped kitchen for feasts with friends, to be devoured inside or out. We’re particularly keen on the alfresco dining area, complete with a grill, bar and a fire pit. 

Outside, the private heated swimming pool is where we’d spend most of our time. Dry off in the sun on a lounger, and take in the lovely garden space. Greenery provides privacy, so you can revel in the mountain views in peace. When the sun has set, slip back into the pool for a moonlit swim, or sip Champagne in the spa. 


Cherry Kiss

Take in the cactus-studded landscape and rugged mountain formation vistas from your private retreat in the heart of Sunrise Vista Chino. 

Natural light – and glimpses of the palm trees and cacti outside – streams through huge windows into the bold and eclectic living space, illuminating the dynamic artworks and colour-popped furnishings. This home’s thoughtful interior is all-encompassing – plush velvet sofas invite you to sit back, throw open the patio doors and let the breeze wash over you, whilst the large open kitchen is perfectly designed to host relaxed breakfasts. One of our favourite allures of this home is the garden, where you can spend the day poolside on the loungers or diving into the pristine pool or sinking into the elevated hot tub - complete with a waterfall feature. When evening unfolds, spark the fire pit for S’mores under the starry sky Palm Springs is famous for.

Start the day feeling energised with a refreshing dip in the private pool, then sip your morning coffee from one of the surrounding chairs. While it would be easy to simply while away the hours in the garden, we highly recommend exploring the city. If you're in the mood for a little retail therapy, head to Palm Canyon Drive to browse the vintage boutiques and interior design shops before stopping for lunch at one of the local restaurants. 

When you get home, fire up the grill and tuck into an American-style barbecue dinner on the patio. Post-dinner, make yourself a drink then get into the Jacuzzi to relax and soothe any aches from the shopping trip. As the sun begins to set, take a seat around the fire pit to enjoy the view while toasting marshmallows. 

Sunshine Springs 

This white-and-turquoise time capsule in Palm Springs' Racquet Club Estates neighbourhood is a glamorous example of breezy mid-century modernist design. Masterminded by architect William Krisel (the man who kickstarted the trend for Palm Springs' contemporary glass-dominated homes in the 1960s) it features teal chairs, a white-bricked fireplace and flat-screen portrait TV set to display modern art in the light, bright living room. The moss-green splashback and white cabinets in the kitchen are delightfully retro, but the modern oven, double fridge and coffee-maker are state-of-the-art. The bedrooms all have sliding glass doors that lead out to the patio, letting in an abundance of that joyful Californian sunshine. Outside you'll find the pièce de résistance – the private pool and bubbling hot tub. Both are heated, perfect for when the desert chill creeps in. There's also a firepit to keep things cosy, and a covered outdoor dining area with a gas barbecue where you can watch stars twinkle over the mountains at dusk. If you still need a little extra help unwinding, your host can also arrange for a poolside massage. Bliss.

The Tennis Players

This stylish and inspired home is tucked away just minutes from downtown Palm Springs. Slip into the waters of the luxurious saltwater pool and Jacuzzi for a day of unwinding and pampering, perfect for anyone wanting to get away from it all for a little while. Sprawl out on the poolside chaise lounges and fan yourself as the sun beats down, or work from home with the dedicated desk in the main bedroom. With walls of glass making the seamless transition from indoors to outdoors, it won't matter if you're sitting around the fireplace in the evening telling stories, or sitting around the fire pit under the stars – this home will ensure you're making the most of your trip. If you're travelling with kids, boredom will become a thing of the past with plenty of garden games to keep them occupied. Get out on that vibrant green lawn and get some valuable family time in during the day. Or hop on the bicycles and go for a ride around the neighbourhood – it's the perfect way to get to know the area while staying active.

This home makes it easy to step out to grab necessities, eat out or head to an event or bar, no matter what you're hoping to do during your stay. Pop out to grab a coffee or head to the nearby golf course to shoot some holes, or drive to one of the nearby museums and art galleries to inject some culture into your trip.
