Coachella Valley may well come to the world's attention across two weekends in April, but there are plenty of reasons to visit during the rest of the year — one of which is to stay in this spectacular farmhouse-style villa. Given the region's glorious climate, this is an address that makes it easy to spend as much time outdoors as possible. The heated saltwater swimming pool in the middle of the garden features a circular bar and a separate spa pool. Just next to this, there's a sunken seating area arranged around a fire pit, as well as loungers, hammock chairs and cabanas in which to sneak in an afternoon nap. As if that wasn't enough, there's also an outdoor kitchen and an impressive selection of entertainment options, including darts, a putting green and oversized versions of board game favourites. Try as you may but you're unlikely to be able to spend your whole time out in the open air. Besides, the beautifully modern interior deserves some attention, too. The open-concept living-kitchen area benefits from eye-catching lighting, sleek surfaces and a preference for instantly soothing shades of white. There's a contemporary fireplace if the weather turns a little chilly, as well as...Read more some inviting bedrooms suites. The Empire Polo Club where Coachella Festival takes place can be reached in all of five minutes' drive, but there's a huge range of things to do in the local area aside from that, including a vast array of golf courses, hiking in the nearby Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument and shopping in Old Town La Quinta eight minutes' drive away.
