Just an eight-minute car ride from the border of Joshua Tree National Park, you already know that this modern home will offer an otherworldly experience. Staying here feels like a true escape. But while these sublime, desert surroundings feel like isolated wilderness, there are plenty of luxurious touches to make you feel at home here. Let’s start outside, where you can enjoy balmy evenings sitting under the giant Eucalyptus tree, or early mornings listening to the birds as you practise yoga. With a fire pit, a propane grill, and a four-seater outdoor hot tub, this home offers VIP comfort after a long day in the desert. But if you’re not busy stargazing or mixing spicy margaritas on the patio, you can make the most of the interiors. Clean, fresh, and modern, the white walls and understated furnishings allow the desert views to take pride of place. Huge windows bring in gorgeous desert sunlight, illuminating the rich wooden beams of the ceiling, along with natural woven rugs, and a swinging bamboo armchair. Turn on the record player and listen to some Californian 60s rock to really set the scene.
