Spend your time stargazing, poolside lounging and soaking in the hot tub at this Yucca Valley retreat. With the desert wildlife as your only neighbours, you can sink into a state of deep relaxation from the moment you arrive. Settle in among chic boho-tinged decor in the bright living spaces, and find your favourite spot under the California sun to work on your tan. From the vast deck, you can enjoy expansive views of the rugged terrain, dotted with cacti and wildflowers. Take in awe-inspiring sunsets from the heated swimming pool, and gather around the fire pit to tell stories with the Milky Way overhead. The six-person hot tub has plenty of room for the group to wind down each evening. The entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is less than twenty minutes away – pack your water bottle and pick a gentle trail through the world-famous wilderness. In Yucca's old town, you'll find laid-back eateries to fuel up and handy shops and stock up on essentials before embarking on a desert hike.
