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.

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.

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.

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.

In either case, this Oasis home is perfect for an idyllic, secluded getaway. 


The Mesquite Oasis

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.

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.

Kick off your shoes at the front door of this beautiful desert sanctuary and leave them off for the duration of your stay. Here’s a place to unplug your phone and completely relax. The traditional Mediterranean-style house sits on an acre of private land, with a dreamy backdrop of bright blue skies and Joshua trees. Come morning, grab a yoga mat for a stretch at sunrise, then cradle your coffee while overlooking the garden (keep your eyes peeled for the rabbits and chipmunks that come to visit). Days are spent lounging on day beds, cooling off in the deep end of the pool, and gazing at the ever-changing colours of the surrounding mountains. As the sun falls, fire up the barbecue, before taking a post-supper dip in the jacuzzi or breaking out the movie projector for a vintage cinema-style experience in the living room. If you can tear yourself away from your own personal oasis, the spectacular Joshua Tree National Park is less than a ten-minute drive away while Yucca Valley is just a short eleven-minute drive from home.

Fancy yourself a green warrior, then you'll love this completely off-grid desert homestead; it's powered by solar. Switch off from modern-day living when you stay at this home. Originally built in 1954, it has been remodelled with a rustic design that pays homage to the Old West. Large windows allow natural light to fill the open-plan kitchen and living area. Wood finishings add a characterful feel with vintage furnishings and colourful art thoughtfully scattered throughout. The exterior is just as pleasing – stylish rusted walls enclose a private garden, where you'll find an outdoor bathtub and cowboy steel pool. Keep cool in the water or laze in a hammock under the shade of the tree. With the location being just a short drive from Joshua Tree & Palm Springs, this retreat doesn't just offer panoramic views of the desert, it gives you the chance to explore this otherworldly landscape for yourself.

Hey Cowboy

Off-grid living is personified in this home. Nestled in the middle of Wonder Valley in Southern California, this home truly embraces its place in the desert. If you're looking to escape the hustle of everyday life or seeking some time to connect with the natural world, then you'll be glad to know peace and tranquility is exactly what you'll get here.

We love the outdoor lounge area, as well as the private granite geothermal hot springs tub. It’s a beautifully zen space for you to take in the surroundings and unwind to the sounds of nature. Make sure to stay out late on the porch at night and marvel at the incredible stargazing opportunities the clear desert skies offer. If you'd rather relax inside, then the cast iron clawfoot bathtub with mineral-rich waters is going to be your new best friend. 

If you do feel like leaving this haven to do some exploring, the town of Joshua Tree is only a thirty-minute drive away with a good selection of restaurants and shops. Twentynine Palms, while a bit smaller, is a fifteen-minute commute. For the adventurers, Joshua Tree National Park can also be reached in a fifteen-minute drive and offers ample hiking opportunities to see stunning boulder formations – an absolute must for breathtaking views.

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

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.

Whether you’re craving a spiritual retreat or a hiking hideaway, this three-bedroom home in the Yucca Valley, minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, allows you to truly be at one with nature without forgoing life’s little luxuries. Spend your days lounging in one of the outdoor hammocks, barbecuing in the barn, or hiking in the desert – there are countless trails right on your doorstep. While away your evenings watching the sunset from the front porch or stargazing in the hot tub – the dark night sky means you may even be in store for a spectacular sighting of The Milky Way. 

The home’s interior reflects the rustic charm of its surroundings, with butcher-block countertops in the kitchen, carved stone sinks in the bathrooms, and a huge vaulted wooden ceiling in the living room. Two of the bedrooms even have sliding glass doors with direct access to the back patio. Cooking in the kitchen is a pleasure, and once you’ve enjoyed a meal under the string lighting in the barn, you can play some board games, followed by settling down with a movie on the video projector. 

Juniper & Stars

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

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

Nestled in 2.5 acres, this haven welcomes you to rest, recharge and experience the magic of desert living. Inside, the rooms are styled with art and furnishings collected from travels across the world, plus the owners have taken care to ensure maximum comfort with memory foam mattresses, toiletries and a range of extra services – including a private chef and massage treatments. There’s also a swimming pool, hot tub and yoga studio – perfect for those in search of a meditative retreat. And when you’re looking to spread your wings, it’s just a short seven-minute drive into downtown Joshua Tree.

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.

Cali Notebook

Located in the heart of Joshua Tree, this knock-out hideaway has been featured in everything from fashion shoots to music videos as well as Andy Samberg's film "Palm Springs" – a fact that doesn't surprise us considering its otherworldly style. This home subtly blends into the desertscape with its earthy tones and rusty finishes, featuring a fusion of Wabi-Sabi and modern design.

There are large sliding doors that open to reveal the sandy 8-acre private garden and mountains beyond. Make a beeline for the expansive outdoor deck and saltwater pool with integrated hot tub and Baja shelves. Lie back in the cool water and gaze up at an endless blue sky. At night, you can spot the Milkyway as you chat with friends around the 10-foot fire pit. Cooking up a feast or crafting cocktails is easy with the chef's kitchen, making this home utterly perfect for a desert escape with friends or family. 

With free access to the Desert View Conservation Area of Joshua Tree National Park, you'll find mountain views and trails that can keep you occupied for days here. Though when you are ready to get back in touch with civilisation, rest assured you'll be just a four-minute drive to the centre of Joshua Tree with restaurants, coffee shops, and yoga studios within easy reach.

Pool / Snooker Table

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

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

Are you looking for a private, spa-like retreat in the desert? With a refreshing swimming pool, a yoga room, a heated outdoor jacuzzi and serene views, this remote beauty is sure to keep you both entertained and relaxed. The wrap-around terrace offers gorgeous views of Yucca Valley, and at night, you can admire the starry sky by the propane-filled fire pit. Inside, the modern design is a minimalist treat with colourful wooden details that give the home its relaxed character and let you settle into the slower daily rhythm of desert life. If you tire of poolside lounging, there are plenty of jaw-dropping hiking trails in the nearby Joshua Tree National Park – just a ten-minute drive away – and even a private trail all to yourself on the property that will lead you to a bench with 360-degree views. In the evening, watch the inimitable sunset before retiring to the luxurious bedrooms for a good night's rest. We promise you will wake up recharged and ready for another day of exploration and relaxation.

Sunset Sonata

Travellers have long been drawn to the desert to discover its secrets. And this home in the heart of Joshua Tree makes the perfect setting to experience the magic of this landscape. 

Stepping inside feels like entering a calm oasis. The interior has been beautifully designed to reflect the natural elements, creating a soft and gentle atmosphere. It’s easy to feel at home here. From the moment you wake up, the desert light will draw you outside and onto the patio. This is a wonderful place to begin the day. Take a refreshing morning dip in the pool before gathering for breakfast around the outdoor dining table. 

From hiking and guided rock climbing, to sound baths and stargazing, there are many ways to experience the majestic power of the desert. Joshua Tree National Park is only a ten–minute drive away while the village is only a five–minute drive – here you’ll find all the supplies you could need for a fulfilling stay.  

Whether you’re here for an adventure or to simply relax, this home is a gateway to the heart of desert living. As the day draws to a close, light up the barbecue, pour a glass of something special and watch the sky turn pink. 

The Super Moon

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

Like a spaceship that's just landed in the desert, this home is an extraordinary stay. Surrounded by hundreds of windmills, the rugged San Jacinto mountains and expansive valley views, the most dominating element of this home is dome-shaped annexe with expansive windows offering unbeatable, panoramic views. Inside, the owners have gone to town with the otherworldly theme. In the kitchen, sleek metal kitchen countertops like the exterior of a rocket ship are paired back by warm brick walls. In the living room, egg shaped chairs sit opposite a honeycombed bookshelf, with a wood-and-metal floating spiral staircase that leads up to the loft bedroom. All three bedrooms have deluxe double beds, luxurious bathrooms with walk-in showers, and uninterrupted desert views. Joshua Tree National Park - and its miles of remote hiking routes - is at your fingertips, or if you're ready to re-enter reality, Downtown Palm Springs, with its glitzy shops and trendy restaurants, is a short drive away.
