Set against the dramatic backdrop of California’s Coachella Valley, The Westin Mission Hills Resort Villas, Palm Springs, offers a restorative desert retreat with 472 spacious villas. Designed in soothing earth tones and complemented by natural textures, each villa includes a private balcony or patio, a fully equipped kitchen or kitchenette, and signature Westin Heavenly Beds.

Dining includes Fireside Lounge for Californian fare, Las Brisas Snack Shop for casual poolside bites, and The Hideaway, serving cocktails and light dishes. The resort features a fitness studio, tennis courts, and access to wellness experiences at the nearby Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa. Perfect for families and couples alike, the property blends sun-soaked tranquillity with recreational energy, just a short drive from downtown Palm Springs’ galleries, dining, and mid-century landmarks.

Stay among the gated communities of Rancho Mirage, in this Ritz-Carlton property overlooking Coachella Valley — the hotel’s Edge Steakhouse offers some of the best vistas. The hotel opened in 1988 but has been modernised many times since. It has two restaurants serving seasonal dishes, two pools surrounded by plush exclusive cabanas and a high tech fitness centre. Its spa treatments take their inspiration from the surrounding land, using indigenous botanicals within the treatments. And guests can join yoga classes or request personal training sessions. Bedrooms exude a typical Palm Springs feel, with polished dark wood, offset by light-coloured soft furnishings.
