If you’re looking to get away from it all, this spa-themed retreat perched among the rolling hills of Joshua Tree could be just what you need. With mountains to the north and conservation land to the west, the home is set within fifty acres of desert with no immediate neighbours. Boasting a hot tub, sauna, and yoga studio, there’s plenty here for the body and soul. And everything, from the sunken living room with oversized windows to the rainfall shower with a view, is designed to make the most of the expansive vistas. While the location feels truly remote, you’re just 4 miles from downtown Joshua Tree where you’ll find a choice of restaurants and shops.

Local guide
About Joshua Tree
Drive a couple of hours east of Los Angeles, and you’re in a different world. Nowhere is that more apparent than Joshua Tree with its many artist residences, rugged rock formations, and stark desert landscapes. Named after the twisted, bristled Joshua Tree, a stay in this little Mojave desert community is synonymous with art exhibitions, beautiful night skies, hikes, delicious food, and plenty of hours lounging about in aesthetically pleasing surroundings.
