Sunshine Springs

Nestled in Palm Springs, surrounded by striking desert landscape, natural hot springs and world-class golf courses, this stylish villa offers the perfect base for soaking up the southern California sunshine. Boasting a resort-style yard, you'll have everything you need to fully immerse yourself in the beautiful mountain scenery, while the interiors feature walls of glass that let the light flood in, effortlessly blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living for a true Palm Springs experience.

Start the day feeling energised with a refreshing dip in the private pool, then sip your morning coffee from one of the surrounding chairs. While it would be easy to simply while away the hours in the garden, we highly recommend exploring the city. If you're in the mood for a little retail therapy, head to Palm Canyon Drive to browse the vintage boutiques and interior design shops before stopping for lunch at one of the local restaurants.

When you get home, fire up the grill and tuck into an American-style barbecue dinner on the patio. Post-dinner, make yourself a drink then get into the Jacuzzi to relax and soothe any aches from the shopping trip. As the sun begins to set, take a seat around the fire pit to enjoy the view while toasting marshmallows.
