Spring into this idyllic palm tree-clad villa in California’s desert hot spot, Indio. A getaway for a large group requires a setting that’s equally adept for both socialising and private moments – and that’s exactly what you’ll have here. Whether it’s curling up under the soft glow of the Edison lighting with your holiday read, or gathering the family in the outdoor lounge for a round of XL Connect 4, it’s effortless to add to the memory bank. Our favourite way to start the day? Waking up with a dip in the private pool (with its cool design inspired by the Biomorphic art movement) and catching those morning rays before sliding over to the kitchen island – the perfect midday hangout for making jalapeño margaritas. As the afternoon rolls around, you’re all set up for a game of giant Jenga under the cabana or a siesta sprint on the sun loungers – and when day turns to night, fire up the barbecue to char the shrimp for your tacos (or ask your host to arrange a chef-catered dinner for you instead). Finish up with a few rounds of ping pong before sinking into the hot tub for stellar stargazing.
