Can words do justice to this incredible location? Surrounded by desert, you'll feel like you're in your own Western here. With an abundance of outdoor spaces, you've got plenty of vantage points to enjoy the view – especially from the hot tub. The single-bedroom annexe is a nice touch, ideally suited for couples looking for privacy. Despite appearances, you're not far from civilization here – a twenty-minute walk will bring you to a coffee shop, and you'll find a supermarket just a five-minute drive away. And with a free pass into Joshua Tree National Park (a fifteen-minute drive), you can explore to your heart's content.

There's something special about desert light, and this captivating Joshua Tree retreat is the perfect place to observe it. The sunsets are visible from the outdoor Jacuzzi or cooling cowboy tub, while the mirrored dome in the garden was designed with stargazing in mind. It's clear as soon as you arrive that your hosts, Cherish and Ramon, have put a lot of effort into the interiors of the home, and they've bestowed it with a certain rustic desert charm that's hard to pinpoint. Of course, it doesn't hurt that you can step directly out onto the deck in the cool of the morning and watch the desert critters scurrying around before they're forced to retreat from the heat of the day. If you want to head off for the day, the west entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is only two miles away, your gateway to almost 800,000 acres of mystic desert. Your hosts also provide two eclectic bikes that you can use to pedal your way across the desert.

Set in over an acre of private desert, The Sundial is as characteristic a piece of modern desert architecture as you’ll see. The home is enveloped by the stillness and tranquility that comes with such isolation – evenings spent on the terrace beneath the stars offer a different speed of life to the city. The views of the national park at sunset are breathtaking, and the way that the interiors open up to nature, framing the vistas, is unique. It’s also worth mentioning that the location is pretty convenient. Despite the feeling of complete seclusion, downtown Joshua Tree is about five minutes away, with Palm Springs less than hour. And Michael and his team go the extra mile in their levels of service, providing a dedicated hospitality concierge in order to help you arrange anything you want or need.

When architect, Malek Alqadi combined astute environmentalism with his exquisite taste, he didn't just create this home, he sparked a revolution in sustainable tourism. Set on the edge of the Joshua Tree National Park, guests take the lead in operating this clean yet luxurious off-grid space. Think serious stargazing sessions through a telescope, showering by a boulder, and falling asleep under the desert sky with a crackling fireplace at your feet—the second bedroom is open to the elements, with no walls or ceiling. And it's packed with technology too. You can measure your energy consumption, change your light settings and set cooling and heating temperatures of the space. Wrapped in salvaged weathering steel and up-cycled details, it raises the bar on stylish, conscious travel.

Desert Saga

A hilltop cabin in a unique area of the desert, this place is nestled on its own between Pioneertown and Yucca Valley on what feels like the scenic drive through Joshua Tree National Park. The trees, rocks, and landscape just outside the doors are just as breathtaking as anything you would see in the park, except you have them all to yourself. 

There’s a wood-burning stove to keep you warm on those chill nights, while one of your musically talented friends can play a tune on the grand piano (though there’s also a Bluetooth sound system, for convenience). On the walls, you’ll find original art by the late Gerald Zeldin, and an interior so impressive it was featured in the NY Times fashion section. You can feel the history of this old mining cabin in the wood-beamed ceiling and clapboard (yet modern)  bathroom. Picture-frame windows let the sunlight stream into this boho-chic interior and let you gaze out over the endless desert before you.

This place is totally off-grid and once you’ve experienced the unique feeling of heating the outdoor hot tub with firewood as you gaze at the stars, there’s no going back.

Nestled among large boulders and desert sands, this home is a true Joshua Tree getaway with a private saltwater pool/spa and outdoor shower. With no neighbours around, it's an escape from civilisation that's at one with nature and design. The floor-to-ceiling moving glass walls blur the lines between the indoors/outdoors, allowing you to take advantage of the surroundings at all times. Inside, works by local artists and famous designers merge, while the kitchen sets the scene for great meals. We could go on and on about this home – but you should really check it out for yourself!

Located in Wonder Valley Hot Springs, only a 15 minute drive from Joshua Tree National Park, The Mesquite Oasis is the ultimate peaceful and restorative retreat. This bright, organic home is tucked in the Twentynine Palm desert. With large windows and rooms filled with greenery, this cosy Oasis welcomes in the picturesque environment. On the estate, you'll find a private hot springs soaking tub and comfortable deck chairs to take in an uninterrupted view of the gorgeous desertscape. Or, if you'd rather immerse yourself in it, take a short drive to the landmark Joshua Tree National Park to hike some of the famous trails. In either case, this Oasis home is perfect for an idyllic, secluded getaway.

Wild Rocks is one of those homes that always appears effortlessly chic. Designed by Oller & Pejic, it’s an architectural gem set against Yucca Valley’s rugged desert terrain. The sliding glass doors blur the lines between the inside and outside, allowing you to enjoy home-cooked meals on the terrace, gaze at the stars, and relax in the hot tub. We also loved the enormous record collection, which features some of the host Joann’s all-time favourite tunes. Found just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park, there are plenty of exciting adventures waiting for you.

Wild Rocks

This home is clearly a labour of love, and it reflects a lot of the host's personality. There are spaces for meditation and yoga, both indoors and out, and the desert aesthetic has been perfectly captured in the design. A renovated mid-century home, it's minimalist and charming. Outside, you have a grill and a hot tub, which is a great spot for watching the stars move across the clear desert skies. All of that’s without even mentioning the location. You can walk into Joshua Tree Village, which has several excellent cafes and restaurants, and if you drive ten minutes in the other direction, you’ll reach the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.


Mojave Haus

Desk / Workplace

Set in two acres of private desert landscape, this bijou cabin is a place to unwind and let the rush of modern life slip away. In the rugged landscape surrounding this home, you’ve got a hot tub and macrame hammocks sitting beneath the big desert sky. Out favourite spot to watch the sunset is the ‘moon bench’ and once the sky has speckled with stars its time to get a fire crackling in the white-plaster fire pit and look for shooting stars.

Inside, you can feel that the hosts have poured their heart and soul into the decor, where crisp walls are adorned with object d’art in every desert hue. Furniture is vintage and hand-picked, and there’s a record player to curate the perfect soundtrack to your desert escape. The kitchen has all the essentials, and the selection of ceramic crockery feels as though each mug and plate has been considered.

If you want to get out and explore, Joshua Tree town is a twenty-minute drive and the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is just beyond for endless desert and mountain hiking trails.

You’ll feel wonderfully secluded at this homestead in Joshua Tree, surrounded by the Mojave Desert and arresting views of the rolling mountains. Open, bright and instantly welcoming, the home’s interiors are colourful and cheerful, matching its vibrant pops of oranges, reds and blues with the natural hues found in the arid landscape that surrounds you. We love the huge windows that allow the light to pour in and the open-plan kitchen with its bar stools inviting casual breakfasts before a day of exploring. Head out to visit Joshua Tree National Park – an eight-minute drive away – or walk ten minutes to explore downtown Joshua Tree with its eco-markets, saloons, restaurants and wine bars. After a day of adventuring, come back home to mix yourself a margarita and pop a record on to dance to, or head out to the shaded deck to watch the sunset over the desert with a cold beer. As night closes in, light the fire pit and watch the sky turn into a dazzling show of stars before retreating to your cool bedrooms for a serene night’s sleep. 


The Roadrunner

Outdoor Kitchen

Escapes to this Yucca Valley home are guaranteed to be unforgettable. With endless views of the Mojave Desert, guests can spend hours watching pink sunsets from the hot tub, dining alfresco against the serrated silhouette, picking out constellations from a sky full of stars and toasting marshmallows over the fire pit. Inside, designer furniture and poured concrete floors feel extra stylish, and the bedrooms with luxury mattresses, percale cotton bedding and original artwork demand long lie-ins. Put an album on the record player as made-from-scratch meals cook away in the up-to-the-minute kitchen, and when dinner’s demolished, clear the plates ready for an evening of board games. After practising yoga on the patio with the sunrise, mornings are to be spent exploring; pull on your hiking boots and make your way to the Joshua Tree National Park, a twenty-minute drive from the property. Stop off in Yucca Valley’s Old Town on your way back for a bite to eat and a well-earned, ice-cold drink.

Desert Willow

There are cacti, desert and mountain views aplenty in this fabulous home in the heart of the Yucca Valley. Just over six kilometres from the Joshua Tree Visitor Centres and nearby cafes, and even closer to the nearest desert museum, you get the full Joshua Tree experience without being completely cut off from civilisation. The house is set on a five-acre plot and decorated in the laid-back and comfortable style you'd expect. While the home is equipped with all the usual mod cons, it's retained plenty of quaint charm with wood-panelled walls, a record player and retro games console sitting alongside a lightning-fast internet connection and various streaming options. There's also a separate casita ideal for couples. We loved the wicker mirrors, wall hangings, hammock-style hanging seats and the peaceful, minimalist bedroom interiors. Outside you'll find a wood-fired hot tub ideal for chilly evenings and a pink stucco in-ground pool for afternoons. When you're not neck-deep in water, the wooden seating area and firepit is a perfect place to admire the pink and red sunset skies.

Cactus Sunshine

This home is a unique and beautiful desert escape located in the darkest area of Joshua Tree. Situated on 7.5 acres in the protected land of Monument Manor, this property is perfect for artistic retreats, relaxed get-togethers, family gatherings or stargazers. The open floor plan is perfect for gatherings of all kinds, with pops of bright colors, magical lighting and trippy art ensuring good vibes only. The property features a built-in spa with a cowboy pool, private hiking trail, outdoor day bed, silent disco machine, blacklight dance room, Nintendo 64 console and propane fire pit. With four beds and two baths, there's plenty of space for guests to relax and unwind after a full day of activities. The outdoor space features a large astroturf front yard perfect for sun salutations or sunbathing, while the spectacular rock formation in the private hiking trail offers stunning views from atop the platform "Star Landing." This home is eco-friendly with solar power and fast Wi-Fi available.

Mojave Dreams

This home is an oasis of coolness and calm within the desert. Inside, glorious vintage Moroccan textiles cover the floors, while the art is provided by artists that host Denise represents in her art gallery. Architectural accents also lurk behind every corner – we especially loved the exposed beams and Mission-style plaster. The outdoors of the property are wild and isolated and will appeal to the adventurous and those craving solitude. Steps have been taken to tame the wilderness in ways that inspire relaxation, such as the outdoor bathtub, shower, plunge-pool, and many hammocks.

This Joshua Tree home is a gorgeous piece of modern architecture, set in over an acre of land in the middle of the desert. It offers great access to the park, as well as other hiking trails, and while you shouldn’t ignore that, the home is a destination in itself. The views of the landscape are probably the first things that you’ll notice, and with good reason. On top of that, pools, hot tubs, and fire pits aren’t unusual in and around Joshua Tree, but rarely do you come across examples that have so much style. Each amenity fits within the aesthetic of the larger home in a deliberate, measured way and a dedicated hospitality concierge is on hand to help you arrange anything you may want or need. We can go on to list more features, but even that wouldn’t capture the grandeur of the home. Relaxing beside the pool as the sun sets or swapping stories around the fire pit under the stars are the kind of experiences you won’t forget in a hurry. 

Shadow Stone

Fenced Garden

This earthy pad connects nature with home comforts, bringing the famous Californian desert landscape right to your doorstep. The eco-friendly property boasts natural decor and vegan touches, from the sustainably-sourced decor to the cruelty-free soaps, while retaining a contemporary and inviting feel throughout. There is plenty of space here to unwind in the natural beauty of Twentynine Palms, including outdoor lounge and deck areas where you can bask in the sunshine, as well as a soothing hot springs tub.

With the landmark Joshua Tree National Park just a fifteen-minute drive away, this is the ideal destination for those keen to explore the desert. Layer on the sun cream, pack plenty of water and set off into the rugged expanse. At the end of a full day, you can return home knowing a comfortable base awaits. Cool off with a glass of something chilled as the sun sets – if you're lucky, you might even catch the Milky Way spiralling across the night sky.

The Yucca Oasis

For the ultimate Joshua Tree retreat, you really only need three things –total comfort, unobstructed views of the wondrous landscape and luxurious amenities to help you relax – and that’s exactly what you get with this home. It's impeccably designed from top to bottom, with effortlessly stylish furnishings enhanced by natural light that casts different hues throughout the day – it's a truly divine space. Slide open the glass panels on bright desert mornings for a soothing early dip in the saltwater pool or a luxuriant soak in the hot tub as you reconnect with Mother Nature. If you prefer to start your days more dynamically, get your blood pumping with a workout in the gym, or a revitalising morning hike, followed by an indulgent outdoor shower and an alfresco brunch in the sun-dappled dining area. But, of course, spending time indoors is just as serene as you cosy up by the fire on cooler days, enjoy your favourite music on the in-built sound system and settle in for a movie marathon on the projector screen. Finally, end the day right as you survey the jagged mountain peaks, keeping an eye (and ear) out for the local wildlife, with your feet up and a sundowner in hand.

Le Chacuel

This mid-century studio in the heart of Joshua Tree was designed with the view in mind and we can see why. One glance out the floor-to-ceiling windows and you'll be treated to spectacular, sprawling vistas of the Mojave Desert. It's the perfect backdrop to morning coffees and evening cocktails, especially when the sun goes down and the shooting stars fly across the sky. Inside, the open-concept layout invites you to socialise and relax in equal measure. Filled with custom-made wooden furniture and rustic touches, we'd describe the vibe here as Wild West chic. Play your favourite music on the Alexa speaker while you channel your inner Jamie Oliver in the kitchen – we're particularly fond of the concrete countertops. After a delicious dinner, gather around the wooden barrel table for a game night or sink into the squishy leather sofa and watch a movie. The location is excellent, too – just a fifteen-minute walk to downtown Joshua Tree and a ten-minute drive to the main entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. With hiking trails to suit all levels, eateries and art galleries aplenty, this is a perfect spot to switch off and bask in the stark beauty of the desert. 

Spaghetti Western

If nothing but the best is good enough for you and your loved ones, then Mojave Rhythm is the retreat you've been waiting for. Built with the ethos of desert luxury, this home will let you rest your eyes on its beautiful minimalist features while keeping you relaxed and entertained. The pool is refreshing, there are plenty of loungers to go around for everyone, and seats in the shade for your afternoon drinks. Catching up and socialising is easy with all the nooks around the house and a variety of activities to try, from ping pong to basketball, as well as your very own foosball table. Elsewhere, you're only a seven-minute drive from the entrance to the breathtaking National Park with its rugged rock formations and stark desert landscapes – don't forget your camera on this trip. Return from your hike and de-stress in the outdoor jacuzzi – this might become a daily habit, but so might the curling up by fire pit, where you can keep warm while watching the spectacular night sky in Joshua Tree. When you're ready to tuck in, slip under the sheets knowing that the only sounds you'll hear are the crickets nearby.

Mojave Rhythm

The House of Intellect is a place to escape reality and contemplate your place in the universe. Where wonder meets magic, explore a space that inspires creation and stimulates outer and inner reflection. Located in the heart of the protected land of Monument Manor on 2.5 acres, there's no better place to relax, recharge and re-center than in the darkest area of Joshua Tree, when the night sky really does come alive making it abundantly clear how small we truly are.

Featuring an open floor plan to encourage an open mind, this newly remodeled home is stylish, clean, and bright with a design that's best described as a blend of Florence and Miami. It's the quintessential desert getaway, blurring the lines between indoors and out with incredible floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that provide a portal to the magnificent surroundings by day and reflect the surrounding beauty camouflaging the house's very existence at night.

Designed like a duplex, each side of the house is symmetrical in layout creating two complimentary suites (a primary suite and a guest suite) while providing plenty of space for 2 couples or the whole family.

Enchanted Solitude

This 1950s high desert homestead is in a glorious spot for stargazing. From the outdoor porch, from the side patio, from the large swinging hammock or the hot tub – the night sky is the star. Inside, the comforting hues of blush and rust complement the scenery outside. And oh my, is there some spectacular scenery right on your doorstep – there are hundreds of acres of desert just across the road, so you can hike to your heart’s content. You’ll also be minutes away from a little-known entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, accessible by car and open for exploring. If you’re looking for somewhere to disconnect, safe in the knowledge that you can still pick up some beers on the way home, this is the place. It’s just 10 minutes from the nearest convenience store, so stock up on some cold ones, put some vinyl on the turntable and sit back and soak in that desert magic. 

Guest Star

This home, located down a dirt road in the wilderness, is a truly great hangout spot. The spacious living and dining rooms are just waiting to be filled with laughter and chatter as you catch up with family and friends. Alternatively, you might find yourself in the yoga studio, stretching away life's stresses, or reclining on one of the comfy loungers with a great book. But we think the crowning glory of this home is the pair of outdoor hot springs tubs, complete with epic views across the rugged landscape. With four cosy and comfortable bedrooms, everyone has their own space, and the minimalist, desert-inspired decor will make you feel right at home. The gates of Joshua Tree National Park are just a fifteen-minute drive away, where you join one of the walking trails and get close to nature. And, after an invigorating hike, this oasis is the perfect spot to come back to – mix your favourite cocktail and spend an evening gazing up at the stars. 

The Tamarisk Oasis

An architect's eye has been turned to this Yucca Valley getaway, which pops out of the desert in clean lines, stamped textiles, and potted plants. The home, which belongs to a local activist and artist, is an oasis of cool; white walls, hanging lights, and reclaimed wooden furniture are the name of the game here, while a monochrome, metro-tiled bathroom is perfect for soaking or scrolling up your Instagram feed. The real draw here, however, is the incredible location. When we say you're out in nature, we really mean it. Reached by a sandy dirt track, it feels as wild as the desert landscape that surrounds it. Relax in the cowboy-style tub during the day or explore the two acres of Joshua Tree forest or Joshua Tree National Park (a twenty-five-minute drive away), before setting up camp for the night. With little light pollution, the starry sky is clearer out here than ever – whether you're gathered around the fire pit, sat under the fairy light-strewn canopy or ogling constellations through the telescope, it's a sanctuary of peace, solitude and natural beauty. 

Palo Verde's Bloom

Visiting Joshua Tree is one thing, but seeing a big portion from the comfort of your bath is another. If the latter sounds like a bucket list goal, then Zenith Valley is for you. With absolute privacy and stunning views, this home is a great getaway for those who want to kick their feet up and relax — for a few days at least. A typical day here starts with a sunny breakfast and an optional yoga routine, for which there's plenty of space. Then head outside on the terrace to lounge and read, before dipping into a hot bath. When it comes to socialising, you've got plenty of activities to try out, like ping pong, pool, as well as your own poker table. In the evenings, retreat to the luxurious bedrooms for some rest and enjoy the sounds of Yucca Valley far away from the buzzing city traffic. 

Zenith Valley

Located among the desert planes, this dreamy home provides a unique getaway for a couple or solo adventurers. The terrace can be used for yoga, for which the host provides clean mats and we also love the outdoor hot and cold tubs, which cater perfectly to the different desert temperatures. Though the location feels very remote, it’s only a twenty-minute drive to Joshua Tree, where you can grab a bite to eat and do your groceries. Joshua Tree National Park is also at a similar distance and an absolute must visit.

Breakfast Included

As soon as you step through the door of this renovated 1960s house, you know you’ve found something pretty special. With a dazzling desert setting and an interior that could grace the cover of a glossy magazine, it’s not your average home. The vibe is mid-century meets cowgirl, with macrame wall hangings, folky raffia, battered leather and buffalo horns. The living space is centred around a vast sheepskin that’s like walking on a cloud, and the full width glass doors pull back completely, blurring the line between inside and out. And you’ll definitely want to spend lots of time outside – the views are spectacular. Days here pass by like a dream, hiking through the rugged landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park, or exploring the artsy town, before coming back to your oasis for a soak in the saltwater hot tub. There’s also an outdoor rain shower if you want to wash the desert dust away. As the sun dips below the horizon, sip a sundowner in the retro hanging chair before gathering round the firepit to toast s’mores as the stars pop out one by one. 

The Oasis

Joshua Tree, with its remarkable cragged landscapes and wide-open spaces, is bound to inspire the artist in you. This home provides all the tools you need to set that creativity free – art supplies, a studio space, a blackboard wall for brainstorming and an art rail on which to hang your work. The home itself was designed to inform and inspire, from the photography books lining the walls to the remarkable sculptural “nest” chair in the yard. If your creative passions are more culinary, the dual-sink kitchen has plenty of counter space on which to create gourmet meals, and there's a barbecue outside for grilling skewers. After dinner, watch the stars rise from the luxurious hot tub before huddling around the fire pit with a mug of mulled wine. Joshua Tree Visitor Center is just a four-minute drive away – and with an electric car charger in the garage, you won't run out of juice.
