Wake to desert light spilling through the palms, then ease into the day with a swim beneath wide-open mountain skies. This walled retreat was made for lazy afternoons, where you can drift from hammock to poolside lounger, break for a game of ping pong, or light the grill as the sun dips low. Later, gather by the fire pit and watch the stars flicker on over the San Jacintos. When you’re ready for a change of pace, the buzz of Palm Canyon Drive, where galleries, cocktails, and neon nights are just a stroll away. Here, you don’t just stay in Palm Springs. You live it.
