When architect, Malek Alqadi combined astute environmentalism with his exquisite taste, he didn't just create this home, he sparked a revolution in sustainable tourism. Set on the edge of the Joshua Tree National Park, guests take the lead in operating this clean yet luxurious off-grid space. Think serious stargazing sessions through a telescope, showering by a boulder, and falling asleep under the desert sky with a crackling fireplace at your feet—the second bedroom is open to the elements, with no walls or ceiling. And it's packed with technology too. You can measure your energy consumption, change your light settings and set cooling and heating temperatures of the space. Wrapped in salvaged weathering steel and up-cycled details, it raises the bar on stylish, conscious travel.

Desert Saga

Nestled in 2.5 acres, this haven welcomes you to rest, recharge and experience the magic of desert living. Inside, the rooms are styled with art and furnishings collected from travels across the world, plus the owners have taken care to ensure maximum comfort with memory foam mattresses, toiletries and a range of extra services – including a private chef and massage treatments. There’s also a swimming pool, hot tub and yoga studio – perfect for those in search of a meditative retreat. And when you’re looking to spread your wings, it’s just a short seven-minute drive into downtown Joshua Tree. 

The Desert Rose

Nestled among large boulders and desert sands, this home is a true Joshua Tree getaway with a private saltwater pool/spa and outdoor shower. With no neighbours around, it's an escape from civilisation that's at one with nature and design. The floor-to-ceiling moving glass walls blur the lines between the indoors/outdoors, allowing you to take advantage of the surroundings at all times. Inside, works by local artists and famous designers merge, while the kitchen sets the scene for great meals. We could go on and on about this home – but you should really check it out for yourself!

Desert Skies

This home, located down a dirt road in the wilderness, is a truly great hangout spot. The spacious living and dining rooms are just waiting to be filled with laughter and chatter as you catch up with family and friends. Alternatively, you might find yourself in the yoga studio, stretching away life's stresses, or reclining on one of the comfy loungers with a great book. But we think the crowning glory of this home is the pair of outdoor hot springs tubs, complete with epic views across the rugged landscape. With four cosy and comfortable bedrooms, everyone has their own space, and the minimalist, desert-inspired decor will make you feel right at home. The gates of Joshua Tree National Park are just a fifteen-minute drive away, where you join one of the walking trails and get close to nature. And, after an invigorating hike, this oasis is the perfect spot to come back to – mix your favourite cocktail and spend an evening gazing up at the stars. 

The Tamarisk Oasis

A hilltop cabin in a unique area of the desert, this place is nestled on its own between Pioneertown and Yucca Valley on what feels like the scenic drive through Joshua Tree National Park. The trees, rocks, and landscape just outside the doors are just as breathtaking as anything you would see in the park, except you have them all to yourself. 

There’s a wood-burning stove to keep you warm on those chill nights, while one of your musically talented friends can play a tune on the grand piano (though there’s also a Bluetooth sound system, for convenience). On the walls, you’ll find original art by the late Gerald Zeldin, and an interior so impressive it was featured in the NY Times fashion section. You can feel the history of this old mining cabin in the wood-beamed ceiling and clapboard (yet modern)  bathroom. Picture-frame windows let the sunlight stream into this boho-chic interior and let you gaze out over the endless desert before you.

This place is totally off-grid and once you’ve experienced the unique feeling of heating the outdoor hot tub with firewood as you gaze at the stars, there’s no going back.

Ranch Of The Rising Sun

You’ll feel wonderfully secluded at this homestead in Joshua Tree, surrounded by the Mojave Desert and arresting views of the rolling mountains. Open, bright and instantly welcoming, the home’s interiors are colourful and cheerful, matching its vibrant pops of oranges, reds and blues with the natural hues found in the arid landscape that surrounds you. We love the huge windows that allow the light to pour in and the open-plan kitchen with its bar stools inviting casual breakfasts before a day of exploring. Head out to visit Joshua Tree National Park – an eight-minute drive away – or walk ten minutes to explore downtown Joshua Tree with its eco-markets, saloons, restaurants and wine bars. After a day of adventuring, come back home to mix yourself a margarita and pop a record on to dance to, or head out to the shaded deck to watch the sunset over the desert with a cold beer. As night closes in, light the fire pit and watch the sky turn into a dazzling show of stars before retreating to your cool bedrooms for a serene night’s sleep. 


The Roadrunner

Combining comforting mountain interiors and contemporary design, Black Arrow is a charming cabin with a little extra luxury and style. Spread across three floors, the five-bedroom home can accommodate up to ten guests, with the option of sleeping two further guests on a sofa bed in the living room. Featuring an open-plan living area, there’s an open and social feel to the space that makes it perfect for a group of friends or a family to spend quality time together, whether that’s getting cosy in front the fire, preparing delicious meals or enjoying the brand new games room featuring skeeball, arcade games, table tennis and a shuffleboard. Out on your private deck, you’ll be blown away by uninterrupted views of the landscape, the outdoor fire pit and an alfresco dining setup. When you’re ready to venture out, you’re just a ten-minute drive from Lake Arrowhead Village and all it has to offer.

Black Arrow

If nothing but the best is good enough for you and your loved ones, then Mojave Rhythm is the retreat you've been waiting for. Built with the ethos of desert luxury, this home will let you rest your eyes on its beautiful minimalist features while keeping you relaxed and entertained. The pool is refreshing, there are plenty of loungers to go around for everyone, and seats in the shade for your afternoon drinks. Catching up and socialising is easy with all the nooks around the house and a variety of activities to try, from ping pong to basketball, as well as your very own foosball table. Elsewhere, you're only a seven-minute drive from the entrance to the breathtaking National Park with its rugged rock formations and stark desert landscapes – don't forget your camera on this trip. Return from your hike and de-stress in the outdoor jacuzzi – this might become a daily habit, but so might the curling up by fire pit, where you can keep warm while watching the spectacular night sky in Joshua Tree. When you're ready to tuck in, slip under the sheets knowing that the only sounds you'll hear are the crickets nearby.

Mojave Rhythm

There are cacti, desert and mountain views aplenty in this fabulous home in the heart of the Yucca Valley. Just over six kilometres from the Joshua Tree Visitor Centres and nearby cafes, and even closer to the nearest desert museum, you get the full Joshua Tree experience without being completely cut off from civilisation. The house is set on a five-acre plot and decorated in the laid-back and comfortable style you'd expect. While the home is equipped with all the usual mod cons, it's retained plenty of quaint charm with wood-panelled walls, a record player and retro games console sitting alongside a lightning-fast internet connection and various streaming options. There's also a separate casita ideal for couples. We loved the wicker mirrors, wall hangings, hammock-style hanging seats and the peaceful, minimalist bedroom interiors. Outside you'll find a wood-fired hot tub ideal for chilly evenings and a pink stucco in-ground pool for afternoons. When you're not neck-deep in water, the wooden seating area and firepit is a perfect place to admire the pink and red sunset skies.

Cactus Sunshine

A mid-century masterpiece with personality to spare, this home hidden away in the desert is a spectacular stay. Every room here has been curated as if it were a museum, and many of the vintage trinkets and treasures belong to the home's owner, celebrated designer Julia Chasman. The living room is the heart of the buzz, warm and rich thanks to the striking orange-red woodburner, old piano, Art Deco lampshades and ikat rugs. The delightful bedrooms have a Western country feel with large, plush beds, framed storybook illustrations and patchwork quilts, while the en-suite bathrooms feature magnificent free-standing roll-top bathtubs and patterned-tiled walk-in showers. And the outside is just as much as a masterpiece as the inside. On the deck take in those uninterrupted views of the Joshua Tree desert, before jumping into the hot tub - best enjoyed at nightfall where you might lucky enough to spot a shooting star.

Quail's End

Kick off your shoes at the front door of this beautiful desert sanctuary and leave them off for the duration of your stay. Here’s a place to unplug your phone and completely relax. The traditional Mediterranean-style house sits on an acre of private land, with a dreamy backdrop of bright blue skies and Joshua trees. Come morning, grab a yoga mat for a stretch at sunrise, then cradle your coffee while overlooking the garden (keep your eyes peeled for the rabbits and chipmunks that come to visit). Days are spent lounging on day beds, cooling off in the deep end of the pool, and gazing at the ever-changing colours of the surrounding mountains. As the sun falls, fire up the barbecue, before taking a post-supper dip in the jacuzzi or breaking out the movie projector for a vintage cinema-style experience in the living room. If you can tear yourself away from your own personal oasis, the spectacular Joshua Tree National Park is less than a ten-minute drive away while Yucca Valley is just a short eleven-minute drive from home. 

Desert Nomad

Escapes to this Yucca Valley home are guaranteed to be unforgettable. With endless views of the Mojave Desert, guests can spend hours watching pink sunsets from the hot tub, dining alfresco against the serrated silhouette, picking out constellations from a sky full of stars and toasting marshmallows over the fire pit. Inside, designer furniture and poured concrete floors feel extra stylish, and the bedrooms with luxury mattresses, percale cotton bedding and original artwork demand long lie-ins. Put an album on the record player as made-from-scratch meals cook away in the up-to-the-minute kitchen, and when dinner’s demolished, clear the plates ready for an evening of board games. After practising yoga on the patio with the sunrise, mornings are to be spent exploring; pull on your hiking boots and make your way to the Joshua Tree National Park, a twenty-minute drive from the property. Stop off in Yucca Valley’s Old Town on your way back for a bite to eat and a well-earned, ice-cold drink.
