Welcome to Palm Springs!

Over the years I’ve lived in a number of cities in the U.S. - on the east coast, the mid-west and the west coast. I moved to Palm Springs in 2002, not knowing much about desert living, but learned quickly that Palm Springs life is paradise!

Palm Springs, California is located 110 miles east of Los Angeles in the Coachella Valley, and is surrounded by mountain ranges keeping the desert valley protected from inclement weather. 

With 330 days of sunshine per year and an average high temperature of 75 degrees from September to May, this desert valley extends 40 miles including 7 contiguous cities (Palm Springs at the west end of the valley to Indio at the east end). With guaranteed sunshine and warm weather, there’s no better place to get away and soak up the sun.

The City of Palm Springs is the most charming and village like of all the desert resort cities, with a full-time resident population of 46,000 swelling to over 200,000 seasonal residents and visitors from late September to early June. Palm Springs has a long history of individuality and acceptance and is a resort destination I think best appreciated by modern adults looking for relaxation as well as adventure and fun!

Palm Springs alone has over 120 distinct resort properties, including large exclusive hotels as well as very individual small stylish boutique inns.

There are over 100 restaurants in Palm Springs, ranging from budget breakfast bistros to break-the-bank fine dining.

Although the Palm Springs area is probably best known for its sunshine and wonderful weather as well as golf and tennis, there is so much more to do in the Palm Springs area, including:  hiking & biking; live entertainment & theatre; casinos & gaming; and museums & shopping.

Hike the ancient Indian Oases, or atop the ridge trails of the stunning Mt. San Jacinto Mountains. Bike around town. Immerse yourself in the “retro remix” style that has become popular due to the desert modernism architecture being restored in Palm Springs.

Evenings are especially magical. It’s difficult to imagine anything better than being under our spectacular starlit skies on a warm evening. Walk down Palm Canyon Drive and dine in one of our amazing chef-owned restaurants, shop the boutiques, hit the clubs then settle back around an outdoor fire and midnight swim.  

With so much to do it’ is hard to choose. It has become my passion to explore every inch of Palm Springs. Let me help you create a uniquely special vacation in the Palm Springs area!
