Grab a seat by the pool and sip a cocktail against the stunning backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains at this spectacular desert getaway. The exterior is typically Palm Springs, with its low-rise construction hinting to the mid-century style you're about to uncover inside. And you won't be disappointed once you step inside and discover a welcome open layout that's all earth tones and organic shapes – it's a real delight. Soaring vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors ensure the space is flooded with light throughout the day, while also providing seamless access to the enclosed back garden. Out here, 10ft hedges ensure total privacy as you relax under the desert sun and frolick in the pool. When night falls, we can think of little better than stepping into the hot tub to soak, sip drinks and stargaze under a cloudless sky. If you can tear yourself away, you'll find yourself just a five-minute drive from the restaurants of North Palm Drive, while the bohemian boutiques and eye-catching art galleries of Downtown are just a minute or two further down the street. For those with a passion for nature, there are plenty of hiking trails nearby, while guests who prefer things a... little more manicured can seek out one of the numerous golf courses within a five-mile radius of your front door.
