Palm Springs has been drawing people into the desert for years, first as a wellness escape and later as a glamorous retreat with strong Hollywood associations. Set in the Coachella Valley, a little over 100 miles from Los Angeles, it still holds that polished desert mood, where the days seem to slow down and the surroundings do a lot of the work. That atmosphere is part of what keeps Palm Spring holidays in demand.
A stay here is less about chasing a long list of landmarks and more about how the trip comes together. Good restaurants, designer studios, golf courses and high-end spas all shape the place, but the wider setting matters just as much. For many visitors booking holidays to Palm Spring, the appeal comes from the combination of comfort, sunshine and desert scenery in one easy break.
