Nestled between the desert and the mountains, this pad in Palm Desert is your own little oasis. With shopping, restaurants, bars and golf mere minutes away in any direction, you’ll feel slap bang in the centre of everything, but you’ll also have this relaxed, private home to return to when you’re ready. Ten can share the space comfortably and we love that the design has been thoughtfully laid out to ensure everyone can make the most of it, whether the kids want to splash about in the lagoon-style pool, you want a quiet moment by the fire or the group fancy a game of pool. Choose between the main lounge with its big windows, or the family snug with its huge TV – both have their own fireplace. Taking the luxury levels a step further, the host is always getting compliments on how comfortable the beds are. There’s also the option for a private chef to put that marble-topped professional kitchen through its paces, or arranging a massage without leaving the comfort of the home. It’s convenience and indulgence combined, and it’s all yours.
