Palm Springs is probably best known for its towering palm trees, California desert location and its Mid-Century Modern architecture – and this apartment brings those elements together in an effortlessly tasty cocktail. A studio with kitchenette, private patio and shared use of pool, it makes a petite retreat for two. Shapely plastic chairs and occasional tables give a retro feel to interiors, while the pastel colour scheme and statement orange grove wallpaper channels California’s landscapes and desert sunsets. Spend your days exploring the restaurants, shopping, golf courses and hot springs of Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley (you can borrow a bike from the complex) before returning to spark up the grill and collapse into the sprawling king-size bed. Sweet dreams, indeed.
