This comfortable home in the East Valley has a wonderful outdoor space perfect for entertaining. Spend days out by the large saltwater pool, alternating between cool waters and the bubbling hot tub. Then sprawl out on the lounger with your holiday read and soak in the strong desert sun. We love the shaded outdoor area with plush couches, perfect for when it grows too hot, and when the sun starts to set, fire up the gas barbecue for simple and delicious dinners. Inside, you’ll find a great open-plan layout perfect for family and friends to get together for quality time. The ten-foot ceilings create a light, roomy environment for relaxing, and there’s even a little casita with a separate entrance for guests who may want a little more privacy. You’ll be near plenty of golf courses for a vacation round and only a twenty-four-minute drive from downtown Palm Springs, should you want to explore neighbouring desert towns.

If you’ve been searching for a restorative retreat, this home delivers the perfect solution. From the private pool and hot tub to the calm rooms and personal touches, every detail has been considered to bring you the best of desert living. There is also a fire pit and a barbecue, plus it’s family-friendly with plenty to keep the whole group entertained – including golf and games. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you for an additional fee and your host can help arrange housekeeping. It’s worth noting you will need a car (or Uber) to get around here, but it’s just five miles to the nearest amenities, while Downtown Palm Springs is just fifteen minutes away.

With its blend of mid-century modern, pop art and Art Deco furnishings, this home in Palm Springs exudes glamour and style. Built in 1976, this home has been carefully curated with comfort and elegance in mind by its owner, a lead designer for the last four American presidents. From the vaulted cathedral-style ceilings to the raised dining room, wet-bar and Marilyn Monroe-inspired master bedroom, there’s a constant kaleidoscope of colours, textures and artistic marvels here to admire against the windows’ beautiful mountain views. Step out of the living room and onto your private terrace where an outdoor sofa, table and chairs invite sunset drinks and alfresco meals surrounded by the lawn’s grapefruit, avocado, tangerine and lemon trees. Outside of your home, you’ve got access to the three communal swimming pools and hot tubs, as well as the shared tennis and pickleball courts to ramp up some friendly competition while catching those California rays. With the Tahquitz Creek Golf Course a ten-minute walk away, plenty of nearby cycling and hiking trails and Downtown Palm Springs just a ten-minute drive from your door, there’s no end to the fun and relaxation to be had here. 


Marilyn Magic

This Palm Springs home is part of an exclusive community in the southeast of the city. With a fabulous range of amenities and easy access to all the delights of Coachella Valley, it's the perfect place to begin your desert adventures. 

The interior is a careful blend of classic style and pop-art-inspired flourishes, providing a true feast for the eyes. Mix your favorite cocktail at the wet bar and flop down on one of the sofas as you admire the vaulted ceilings and carefully-curated collection of artworks. You'll also have your own terrace, where you can enjoy an alfresco meal in the warm Californian sunshine. And, there's even a shared swimming pool for refreshing dips when the temperature rises, along with a hot tub for alfresco soaks under the stars. 

Golf fans will be delighted that the nearest course is just a two-minute drive away, and there are several others to choose from in the area. Hikers can join the Hermit Crest Trail, just twenty minutes away on foot, to enjoy spectacular views across the desert towns. And, if you prefer a slower pace, take a ten-minute drive into downtown Palm Springs to browse the boutiques and indulge at the delicious restaurants.

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.

The Blue Ridge

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

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.

High Chair

Nestled in the Sunrise Country Club and neighbouring Palm Springs, this condo combines the best of Coachella Valley living. Sleek slate grey interiors create a calming atmosphere inside, while squishy king size beds ensure a perfect night’s sleep. The view out of each window looks like a postcard. Lush green plant life, desert flowers, blue mountains and palm tree studded landscapes will take your breath away at every turn.  

Start the day with coffees at the stylish breakfast bar, whip up a hearty meal in the high spec kitchen. Out front, sliding glass doors provide easy access from the bedrooms to a sun-soaked al fresco dining area, as well as a private courtyard with a water feature, and a fire pit for cooler evenings beneath the stars. 

When you're not relaxing in the balmy Cali air, there's a litany of activities around the resort to keep you busy too. Cool off with a dip in one of twenty-one swimming pools (that's right), serve aces on the residents’ tennis courts, or tee off at the golf course, enjoying panoramic vistas of the San Jacinto mountains while you putt. You could easily stay within the Country Club forever, but for the more intrepid explorers, Joshua Tree national park is just a 45 minute drive away, where you can hike, climb, or stargaze in the otherworldly terrain. 

Day Dream

Free Parking

This luxurious home is an architectural delight, with clean lines, vaulted ceilings and moveable walls of glass. There's a grand living space, with a cosy fire as the central feature. The big bedrooms are all en-suite, each with its own access to the garden – perfect for lazy Sunday mornings. Framed by towering palms, the garden has not one but two pools. Practice your lengths in the 25-meter lap pool, soak in the spa or simply sunbathe with a martini shaken (or stirred) for you at the bar. This little slice of eden sits below the Santa Rosa Mountains, and the dramatic landscape is best viewed from around the fire pit. In the heart of Rancho Mirage, there are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, and Palm Springs is just twenty five minutes away by car. 

Palm Trees In Paradise

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.

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

One of the biggest estates in Coachella Valley, this palatial home is an absolute dream. Forget all about the city as you swim laps in the huge pool or soak in one of the hot tubs. Make cocktail hour every hour at the circular wet bar by the pool. The covered patio has an outdoor lounge with a fireplace and a flat-screen TV - ideal for drinks under the stars. With a long dining table and professional outdoor kitchen, you can practically live outside. Change up your sunbathing routine and hit the tennis court, table tennis, or pool tables for some competitive action. Entering the foyer, you'll know you're staying somewhere special. The grand living room has plush sofas around a marble fireplace and a bar in the corner. The open-plan gourmet kitchen has four islands fit for professional chefs but remains welcoming with warm wood and a sociable breakfast bar. Tucked downstairs, make the most of the wine cellar, fully-equipped gym, and massage and sauna room. Bedrooms in the main house are fit for royalty and there are two additional casitas with en-suite bathrooms, kitchenettes, and living rooms for the utmost privacy. If you can bear to tear yourself away from a home that has it all, head to the impressive and spectacular national parks nearby, where you can explore mountains, forests, Salton Sea, and hike through the famous Joshua trees. This is one grand estate for a grand getaway you'll never forget.

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.

The Grand Entrance

Flamboyance Central offers you privacy and seclusion in the exclusive Thunderbird Estate while also being located in the heart of Rancho Mirage. The city is full of bustling shops and restaurants while also offering easy access to many hiking trails and golf courses. 

In and around the house, you can enjoy the infinity pool and outdoor shower or feast on meals prepared in the outdoor kitchen. For games and entertainment, you will have a ping pong table, croquet lawn and bocce ball court. 
Inside, the king sized bedrooms each with their own private access to the outdoors rounds off this statement home.

Flamboyance Central

Record Player

Drying Rack

With a breezy and bright living area, a sunny garden and bedrooms as comfortable as they are stylish, this mid-century home comes with everything you need to sit back, relax and soak up the desert sunshine. 

Inside, retro design seamlessly blends with 21st-century comforts to create a contemporary ode to the swinging 1950s and 1960s. Sprawl out on the cushy sofa and catch up on your favourite Prime, Netflix or HBO Max shows. Rustle up tasty meals in the gourmet kitchen while listening to your favourite playlists on the Bluetooth sound system, then gather around the dining table for a delicious dinner.

Outside, unobstructed mountain views set the scene for peaceful living. Spend afternoons soaking up the sunshine on the lounge chairs, splashing in the refreshing pool and sipping cocktails on the outdoor sofa. Come dusk, settle around the fire pit for an evening of good conversation and lots of laughter under the stars. 

When you fancy exploring, you're just a seven-minute walk from the boutiques and restaurants at The River shopping centre, a five-minute drive from downtown Palm Desert and forty minutes by car from Joshua Tree National Park. Add in the countless hiking routes and the myriad of award-winning golf courses nearby and you'll never have a dull day in this desert paradise.

This huge Palm Desert home is beyond luxury. A lawn the size of a football pitch (with goalposts you can set up if you fancy a kickabout) and a resort-style pool area make up the expansive backyard. There are many ways to escape the desert heat – swimming laps in the giant pool, secreting yourself away in one of the shaded seating areas, or soaking in one of the two sunken Jacuzzis. After the sun streaks the sky pink and orange and you’ve had your fill of uninterrupted mountain views, cosy up by the outdoor fireplace and set up the projector for an open-air cinema experience. Pocket doors fold away to open the great room to the desert air. At dinner time, it’s a choice between cooking in the huge open-plan kitchen indoors or the full alfresco kitchen. Cocktail hour can be taken inside or outside, with two wet bars, depending on whether you prefer darts under the stars or pool in the games room. And for those nights when cooking is just not on the cards, the restaurants of Bermuda Dunes are just a few minutes' drive away.

Jacuzzi Dream

Private Pool

From the mountain vistas to the uplifting interiors, this mid-century hideaway perfectly embodies the spirit of southern California living.

Sitting peacefully in Tahquitz Creek Legend Golf Resort, days can be spent playing rounds of golf, following nearby hiking and cycle trails or simply relaxing in your own private oasis. From leisurely swims in the saltwater pool and long soaks in the jacuzzi to lazy afternoons swaying in the hammock and fun-filled barbecue meals, this is a wonderful setting for a restorative retreat. And when the sun begins to set, you’ll find the outdoor fire welcoming you to get together and watch the stars fill the sky. 

Inside, the open-plan living room provides a cosy spot for movie nights, while the four spacious bedrooms have everything you could need for a peaceful night’s rest. 

For explorations further afield, it’s a short stroll to Palm Canyon Drive while the heart of Downtown Palm Springs is just a short drive away. 

The Slow 

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

With magnificent mountain views from every angle, this home is surrounded by towering palm trees and complete with its own heated saltwater pool. Sun loungers promise to keep you comfy and relaxed as you soak up the rays, and a U-shaped rattan sofa presents the ideal spot to kick back with a homemade lemonade and fresh fruit salad. From the outside, this place has it all, and as we make our way through the yellow brick archway into the home, the scenes are equally jaw–dropping.
A mid–century home that’s been freshly updated for a contemporary look and feel, this place is a statement–maker, to say the least. A curation of brightly–coloured pop art pieces decorate the walls and retro accessories contrast coolly with the modern, angular furnishings. We love the fusion of old and new in this place. From the vintage, banana–yellow TV to the retro arcade game in the living room, these nostalgic additions create a space that’s full of fun and character. The bedrooms are bold and inviting, and the master bathroom is a real head–turner. The back wall is covered in luscious green foliage (fake, by the way, so there’s no need to water it!), while the gold taps of the double sink add a touch of grandeur. 
Keen to keep busy? This home is kitted out with fun things for all the family to enjoy. There’s the pool, table tennis, heaps of kids books and toys…you name it, it’s all here, so you’ll never be stuck for stuff to do. Palm Desert is a great area to explore, though, so if you do feel like popping out of your plush private pad for a little while, the El Paseo shopping district is just a short distance away, as is Coachella Valley and The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens. 


The Yellow Brick Archway

Hidden away on a residential cul-de-sac, this serene desert oasis, located just a five-minute drive from downtown Palm Springs, is an ideal place for a relaxing stay. 

Surrounded by lush greenery and towering palm trees, this gem of a house evokes the golden era of the Springs – the Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner days. You’ll no doubt want to lounge around the glistening pool, and the colourful sun loungers invite you to do just that, cool drink in hand. 

The insight is bright and spacious, with tasteful and stylish designs, and we love the sofa space, where you can snuggle up in front of the fireplace in case the desert night’s chill gets to you. The modern kitchen is perfect for creating gorgeous meals or light snacks, which can then be enjoyed in the dining area, or, better still, around the gorgeous table outside. 

The bedrooms are bright and tranquil, with comfy beds and flat-screen televisions, should you crave some alone time. In the morning, open up the curtains and let in that warm California sun, streaming in through the green of the garden. 


Mandarin Cordial

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.

Revel in the mountain views from this stylish single-story home, complete with a private pool, spa, a fire pit, and space for alfresco dining. The home has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms with a sofa bed, making it perfect for couples with kids or a group of friends. Powered by Alexa, you'll be able to control the window shades, patio lights, music, and even the spa heat and jets with only your voice. Entertainment options abound with board games, a record player, cornhole, and a foosball table. The home is centrally located to all that Palm Springs has to offer including golf resorts, fantastic local restaurants, and art exhibits.

Palm Springs & Palm Trees

In the heart of a residential neighbourhood at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains, this sparking villa is a spectacular home with touches that resemble the safari lodges of East Africa. This Palm Springs home boasts stylish bathrooms, a saltwater pool overlooked by mountains, and a kitchen equipped with all the appliances you'll need. After a languorous day spent lounging in the hot desert air and a quick rinse in the outdoor shower, fix up a couple of piña coladas and challenge your party to a few rounds of pool or poker inside – it's the ideal space for filling those couple of hours in-between afternoon and evening activities or hosting a games night. At night, stargazing around the fire pit is a memorable experience in itself. Whether you're here for the hikes of desert living or to discover the eclectic dining and nightlife of Downtown Palm Springs (a five-minute drive away), this home is simply irresistible.

Forget mid-century inspired – this central Palm Springs bungalow is the real retro deal, and we couldn't love it more.

Sweeping onto the private driveway of this architectural masterpiece is like stepping back in time. And things only get better inside, with collectable sputnik feature lights, original teak antique pieces, and curated artwork bringing all the Palm Springs vibes. 

Spend lazy, hazy days hopping between that saltwater pool and spa Jacuzzi outside and soaking up the desert sun from the landscaped terrace. You can always cool things down a notch beneath the retractable awning with the patio misters on full steam – what bliss.

At dusk, as the sun dips behind the magnificent canyons in the distance and the garden lights begin to glow, this place takes on an ambient feel that's so very LA. Get together for barbecues at the alfresco dining area – the views of the mountains are magnificent from here. Then keep the night flowing with some post-dinner drinks in downtown Palm Springs (just a short drive away). Just be sure to squeeze in some time for stargazing around the firepit before you lay your heads – it's quite a show.

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.
