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.

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.

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.

This comfortable villa is perfect for extended families and large groups of friends looking for a fun-filled escape in the Californian sunshine. You’ll certainly want for nothing here – while away the hours topping up your tan in the private back garden before plunging into the pristine pool to cool off, or relax your muscles with a dip in the hot tub. Indoors, an open-plan island kitchen, equipped with marble countertops and turquoise breakfast bar stools, is ideal for whipping up a round of snacks and mojitos to enjoy around the outdoor firepit. A fully equipped games room will keep you thoroughly entertained, with poker, table tennis, foosball and pool tables included. 

The home is situated in a tranquil neighbourhood close to the glitzy city of La Quinta and the picturesque Coachella Valley. If you're a festival-goer or golf-lover, you'll be pleased to find it’s less than five miles from PGA West Golf Course, and the Empire Polo Club – home to the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals – is just two miles away. You can also drive to downtown La Quinta in around fifteen minutes, or head into Joshua Tree National Park for a hike.

Turquoise at Heart

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.

Silent Cinema

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. For the ultimate in indulgence, arrange to hire a private chef for a special meal, or kick back with a poolside massage.

The Meiselman

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.

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.

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

This home is an oasis of coolness and calm within the desert. Inside, glorious vintage Moroccan textiles cover the floors, while the art is provided by artists that host Denise represents in her art gallery. Architectural accents also lurk behind every corner – we especially loved the exposed beams and Mission-style plaster. The outdoors of the property are wild and isolated and will appeal to the adventurous and those craving solitude. Steps have been taken to tame the wilderness in ways that inspire relaxation, such as the outdoor bathtub, shower, plunge-pool, and many hammocks.

Home Cinema Setup

Fitting more than ten guests into a single home is tricky, so this estate is comprised of three — all luxurious and equipped with everything you might need for a great stay. It's situated in the middle of California's wine country, making it easy to visit the nearby wineries to sample the local vintages. For those who prefer staying in and relaxing, there's plenty to do at home too. You'll find the sparkling private swimming pool surrounded by plenty of sun loungers, where you can splash around or catch some rays. There's also a barbecue area and a fire pit, ideal for keeping your guests cosy and well-fed after dark. Plus, there's plenty to explore in the sprawling grounds – including your own vineyard, fruit orchard, and even an equestrian centre. It's hard not to form lifelong memories when you're in such a special place – we think you'll love sharing your days in this idyllic slice of California with your family or friends.

Surrounded by the majestic Santa Rosa mountains and lush, award-winning golf courses, this desert home is a great base for nearby adventures and trips to local restaurants. If golf isn't your thing – it's just a fifteen-minute walk to the beautiful Fred Wolff Nature Preserve, where you'll find hiking and cycle trails aplenty. You may not want to leave your villa, though, with its pool which provides hours of entertainment and a welcome break from the summer heat. Admire the breathtaking mountain views while you dine on the terrace or as the light fades, watch the desert night sky sparkle. This home's interior has a fun splash of colour and ample space for hanging out with family or with friends – we love it.

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 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

Resort Access

This villa subtly blends Mediterranean and modernist influences. Built for cloudless skies, this home uses geometrical shapes and sharp lines to emphasise light and shadow. The stylish back garden is a sun trap, and there are enough deckchairs to go around, so no one will be fighting for the best space. For those feeling the midday heat, you can even soak in rays on built-in pool beds or simply swim off any stickiness. Make lunch in the outdoor kitchen and enjoy it alfresco, while looking out over the breathtaking Santa Rosa mountains. The interior is just as stylish, blending sleek monochrome tones. The spacious open-plan living space has enough cosy corners for a large party, and you can easily find your own private spot to relax. With a pool table, miniature putting green and TV room, there’s ample opportunity to entertain the children (and adults). Once you’ve exhausted these activities, head into La Quinta or visit the closeby PGA West Golf Course.

Palms & Splendor

This enormous mansion is less than a half-hour drive from Coachella Valley, Joshua Tree National Park, Salton Sea and Palm Springs, but to be honest, you could have the stay of a lifetime here without even leaving the property. In-home spa and massage services are available to help you fully unwind. It’s a veritable palace inside, with stone columns and tiles floors keeping things cool. Myriad lounges and seating areas are spread across the open living area with a dedicated movie nook, a grand circular lounge beneath the domed ceiling and a banquet-sized table for the group to dine. You don’t need to go to Vegas to roll the dice, either – within these walls, you’ll find a full casino-style set-up including snooker, foosball and a poker table to challenge your guests to a game or ten. 

Play your cards right, and you’ll spend your stay drifting from decadent interiors to the sunny gardens, which are no less opulent – dive into the magnificent pool, soak in the integrated hot tub, host a barbecue to remember in the huge dining and grilling area, and spend a night watching the sun go down in the outdoor bar. Our favourite spot might have to be the teepee-style outdoor lounge, which adds a touch of boho charm to an otherwise opulent playground. The world is your playground here, and we’d bet good money on you wanting to return again and again. 

Cards on the Table

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

This 1970s home has been lovingly restored into a vibrant desert oasis. From the art and styling to the bright colours and tones, every detail has been considered to elevate your stay with warmth and character.  So whether you’re here for total relaxation or to savour the sights, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all with effortless comfort and ease. 

Embrace cooling dips in the pool, leisurely soaks in the hot tub, pour your favourite drinks at the outdoor bar and cook up a treat on the barbecue. By night, the yard transforms into the perfect setting for cosy gatherings around the fire pit – as well as the ideal position for star gazing. And when you’re ready to retreat inside, you’ll find the bedrooms (each with its own distinct personality) provide a wonderful sense of sanctuary. 

Located in Sunrise Park, it’s just a short drive to the bustling restaurants, cafes, bars and shops of Downtown Palm Springs, while the surrounding hiking trails and golf courses are also within easy reach.

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

Like a spaceship that's just landed in the desert, this home is an extraordinary stay. Surrounded by hundreds of windmills, the rugged San Jacinto mountains and expansive valley views, the most dominating element of this home is dome-shaped annexe with expansive windows offering unbeatable, panoramic views. Inside, the owners have gone to town with the otherworldly theme. In the kitchen, sleek metal kitchen countertops like the exterior of a rocket ship are paired back by warm brick walls. In the living room, egg shaped chairs sit opposite a honeycombed bookshelf, with a wood-and-metal floating spiral staircase that leads up to the loft bedroom. All three bedrooms have deluxe double beds, luxurious bathrooms with walk-in showers, and uninterrupted desert views. Joshua Tree National Park - and its miles of remote hiking routes - is at your fingertips, or if you're ready to re-enter reality, Downtown Palm Springs, with its glitzy shops and trendy restaurants, is a short drive away.

Desert Dome

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.

Located in the Indian Palms Country Club and Resort, this Mediterranean-style home's private poolside looks out onto a pristine golf course complete with a mountain backdrop. Just a five-minute drive away is Empire Polo Club where Coachella and Stagecoach festivals are held throughout April. Whether you're a music obsessive or someone looking for a quiet getaway in a scenic location, this home is a real people-pleaser. The interior has been lovingly put together, with elegant furnishings, a huge kitchen and a decent art collection hanging on the walls throughout. The outside of this home is equally as impressive and those balmy Palm Springs afternoons will be pure bliss on the loungers and shaded terrace — not to mention in the hot tub when the sun goes down. What's more, guests have access to the country club's on-site restaurants, clubhouse, tennis courts and workout classes.

Sun-kissed Oasis

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

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.
