The Wayfarer Way

Relax and recharge in this striking home, where you'll wake up from a great night's sleep in the comfy bed and stroll into the stylish kitchen for your morning coffee. Watch the sunrise over the mountains from your private balcony, and get ready for the day among the inspiring, bold colours and patterns. When you need to cool off from the heat, go for a refreshing dip in the communal pool, listen to the sounds of the water fountain and take in the gorgeous views of the mountains. There's a communal jacuzzi, too, if you need to relax and soothe aching muscles or, alternatively, unwind with a game on the mini-putt. In the evening, practice your cocktail-making skills in the modern kitchen or lounge in the living room with a glass of red. If you don't fancy staying in, sample the bars and restaurants on your doorstep. It's a four-minute walk to the heart of the Old Las Palmas neighbourhood, a Hollywood stars' playground in the 1920s – you'll find stylish galleries, design stores, and tiki bars aplenty here. Downtown Palm Springs, on the other hand, is just a twenty-minute walk, or take advantage of the complimentary beach cruisers.
