This secret desert escape in the Yucca Valley was built for entertaining and it has a reputation that proceeds itself. The decor is the ultimate in deluxe gauche, which won’t be to everyone’s taste. But if you want to live it up amid a library of over 2,000 books, stocked bars, an epic vinyl collection and a grand piano used to record songs you’ve probably heard, this is the spot for you. Outside, there’s everything you want from a desert escape – a private hot tub, a dining table beneath stringed lights, a fire pit and a yoga terrace overlooking the mountains. Plus, there’s a secret room for private events. A hedonist’s paradise indeed.

Local guide


About Yucca Valley

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.
