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.

Catch some rays and keep fit in the private swimming pool, 
relax in the waterfall spa, and dry off on elegant sun loungers - all with stunning mountain views. Though stores, entertainment, restaurants, and cafes are just a 15-30-minute walk away, there are plenty of reasons to want to stay in. Whip up a feast on the state-of-the-art barbecue grill, dine alfresco with California 75 cocktails on the terrace, and finish the evening gathered around the fire pit.

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.

With two fully equipped kitchens, several lounges (inside and outside), and three en-suite bedrooms, this stunning home caters to those looking for a combination of privacy and social spaces. 

The Spanish hacienda-style home dates back to the 1950s, but it’s received a modern update with a healthy dose of mid-century modern furniture (you are after all in Palm Springs). The backyard is, without a doubt, the heart of the home. We loved the pool with jaw-dropping mountain views, and the fire pit that sets the scene for many nights spent stargazing in great company.

Wake up feeling energised and embark on challenging early morning hikes within a mile of your home, returning in time for brunch in one of the innovative farm-to-fork restaurants that you'll find tucked away in Downtown, a five-minute drive north. Afterwards, while away your days soaking up the sun by the saltwater pool, setting up a table football tournament in the games room and tucking into tantalising home-cooked meals beneath the pergola.

You’ll fall in love with the outdoor area, which features a luxurious heated pool, a large lounge and dining area, and plenty of comfy sun loungers for those idyllic afternoons.

Grabbing some groceries or heading out for a bite to eat are a breeze from this home.

Atlas Chic

Fans of Mid-Century Modern Architecture will love this home. From the art and design to the private pool, it’s the perfect setting for an adults-only escape. Guests can also enjoy long soaks in the hot tub, barbecues on the terrace and cosy evenings gathered around the outdoor fire pit. And for explorations further afield, it’s just a five-minute walk to the nearest restaurants, while Tahquitz Canyon and the Moorten Botanical Garden are less than a ten-minute walk away.

Desert State of Mind

Palm trees swaying in the warm breeze, majestic mountain views and art-filled interiors – this home perfectly embodies the spirit of desert living. And with its location in Tahquitz River Estates, you’ll find you’re in the perfect spot for a restorative retreat, whilst also enjoying easy access to Palm Canyon Drive.

Inside, the interiors blend mid-century modernism with contemporary chic to create a space that feels instantly welcoming. From the open-plan living room to the fully equipped kitchen and four snug bedrooms, there’s an abundance of space to relax and share quality time together.  

Follow the views outside and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to enjoy lazy days by the pool, long soaks in the hot tub and fun-filled barbecue meals – with drinks served at the private bar. Your host can also arrange for a private chef to prepare a celebratory meal – inviting you to sit back and savour the magic of the moment. 

Beyond this private sanctuary, it’s just a short walk or Uber ride away to the nearby restaurants and shops, with Downtown Palm Springs also within easy reach. From hiking and horseback riding to golf courses and spa treatments, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all in California style. 

Sunny Blue 

Record Player

Epitomising mid-century modern style, this four-bedroom home in the exclusive Deepwell neighbourhood is the ideal place in which to escape the stress and clutter of modern life. 

Float effortlessly in the saltwater pool, or join family and friends for a bocce ball tournament. Group dinners are made easy by a barbecue grill area and a kitchen with its up-to-the-minute stainless steel appliances. A luxurious fire pit warms the cool evenings – gather around it with a glass of red. And when it’s late, retire by the stone fireplace in the living room. All bedrooms have a flat-screen TV and plenty of storage, so all guests can settle in comfortably for a stay of any length. 

If you’re keen to explore, jump in the car and drive for five minutes to Downtown Palm Springs. Sample the eclectic shops, innovative bistros, and live music bars before checking out the VillageFest street fair, held every Thursday night.

Deep Waters

This mid-century villa is located in an idyllic desert spot, set against its San Jacinto mountain backdrop. This is the quintessential place for Palm Springs living - as a couple, family or group of friends, you’re guaranteed a memorable trip.

This home makes full use of its impressive setting - expanses of glass and crisp white interiors reflect the Californian sun whilst teak cabinetry and tanned leather elements hint at the home’s Mid-Century Modern roots. The home’s personal collection of records allows you to soundtrack your day on the turntable or bring your speaker instead - think Billie Holiday whilst grinding your morning coffee to enjoy on your outdoor terrace, Tame Impala for sessions submerged in the pool or hot tub and David Bowie for gin and tonics as the Palm Desert stars descend. 

We don't blame you if you want to spend all your time sun-soaking at your Palm oasis. However, there is plenty to do if you feel like getting to know the local area. Golfers can take their pick from the nearby courses – Mesquite Country Club and Indian Canyons Golf Resort are less than ten minutes away by car – while hikers can explore the cactus-studded landscapes of the San Jacinto mountain range. When night comes, head to El Jefe, just nine minutes on foot, for indulgent Mexican dishes such as the carne asada nachos or Baja fish tacos, all washed down with a spicy guava margarita. 

Palm Tree Springs

Outdoor Pool

It’s not often we find ourselves speechless, but this mid-century home in the heart of Palm Springs has us lost for words. Boasting stylish interiors inspired by calm desert tones, this is the superlative setting for a relaxing getaway with friends or family. Gather around the dining table for a home-cooked meal, savour a drink at the stylish bar, or grab a seat beneath the sloping wooden ceiling and settle in for a relaxing evening in front of the TV.
 
As much as we love this home’s inside space, it’s the exterior here that really captured our imaginations. Fully equipped with a private swimming pool, firepit, and smoky barbecue, it’s the perfect place to while away gorgeous days under the hot California sun. Go for a refreshing dip in the glistening water or pick up a book from your dedicated home office and settle in for a day of reading beneath the swaying palm trees. Then, when it’s time to eat, fire up the grill and treat your fellow guests to a tasty California-style barbecue on the patio. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to end the day.

Big windows let the desert light pour into the living area, while a large saltwater pool adds a serious wow-factor to the private backyard.

Inside, there’s plenty of space to stretch out—four bedrooms, a sleek sunken bar, and even a second lounge with a big TV. When you’re ready to hit the town, some of Palm Springs’ local favorites are nearby, including Bar Cecil and Mr. Lyons.

Palm Springs and mid-century go hand in hand, and this 1964 home is no exception. Every inch is brimming with retro style, but it's been given a contemporary twist – we love the emphasis on indoor-outdoor living to make the most of the desert sunshine. There's a dedicated office, a TESLA charging station and a sleek kitchen where home chefs will love rustling up dinner to share alfresco. And speaking of outdoors, the garden is a dream, whether you're enjoying the private pool in the afternoon or gathering around the fire pit in the evening. To top it all off are the fantastic views of the San Jacinto Mountains and the fact that lively Downtown Palm Springs is a short drive away.

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.

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.

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.

The Voyager

Seclusion and style are the names of the game in this super elegant Palm Springs abode. Sitting on a quiet street in the enviable Little Beverly Hills neighbourhood, you'll be part of an intimate enclave of 84 homes built by the legendary Bob Alexander - known for his iconic mid-century style. Open up the floor-to-ceiling windows for seamless indoor-outdoor living, and dive into the private pool, complete with integrated waterfall spa, disco lights, tanning shelf, and sun deck with awe-inspiring mountain views. Collapse in gorgeous luxe beds and wake up to sweeping views every morning. Despite the sleepy feel of the area, grocery stores, eateries and vibrant downtown Palm Springs are just a few blocks away. Head to a luxe golf club to practice your swing, or hike through mountains, deserts, and national parks in the area. Make it back in time for dinner using the state-of-the-art barbecue station, and gather around one of the five (yes, five) fire features for a nightcap.

West Coast

"Smile" says the neon sign above the shimmering pool at this sensational Palm Springs home, and it's impossible not to when you're surrounded by such stunning mountain scenery and plentiful sunshine. The garden is the best place to take those views - grab a seat under the bright yellow and white parasol on one of the matching sun loungers that give off serious French Riviera vibes. The mellow yellow colour scheme runs through the inside here too, thanks to the tiled canary-coloured fireplace, sunny vases and mustard lampshades. That reminder to smile (there's a P.S. Smile neon sign in the living room, and the slogan is splashed on framed prints in the bedroom) follows you here too - not that we think you'll forget to grin in this playful home. The bedrooms are just as joyful, with rattan bed frames and pink and emerald green tropical print wallpaper. In the bathroom, framed pictures of Marilyn Monroe keep a watchful eye as you perfect your make-up. Marilyn famously said a smile is the best make-up a girl could ever wear, and a stay here is sure to leave you looking like a million dollars.

Palo Verde

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

Being an arm's reach from downtown Palm Springs, it appeal stretches to those looking to meander around for an urban touch. An outdoor grill, dining area and a beckoning fire pit make room for memorable social gatherings while the towering palm trees offer views of the captivating Mount San Jacinto. At nightfall, indulge in stargazing or lounge beside the pool, while softly sipping your favourite drink in this dreamy paradise.

Palms Whisper

Vast sliding walls of glass blur the lines between indoors and out in this spacious, mid-century home, where glorious Palm Springs sunshine and gorgeous mountain views steal the show.

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.
