Palm Springs , California

Palm Springs – A combination of perfect weather, Hollywood glamour, and an intimate village atmosphere have kept Palm Springs on the A-List of great destinations.

For fun, experience the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, Palm Springs Pavilion Theatre, breathtaking Indian Canyons, Knott’s Soak City, or spend time at Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs Air Museum, or Agua Caliente Cultural Museum. Whatever you seek in Palm Springs, rest, relaxation and fun awaits your visit!

While the Palm Springs Desert Resorts boast some of the most sensational spa destinations in the world, the aptly named City of Desert Hot Springs is home to twice as many spa resorts than any of the other Coachella Valley cities. Naturally-occurring therapeutic mineral water bubbling from a deep thermal aquifer is what gives this city both its name and its distinction as the Valley’s spa industry leader. From exclusive hidden-behind-the-gates celebrity hangouts to ultra hip, fabulous 50s renovations and boutique spas, Desert Hot Springs provides a delightful diversion from the “garden variety” spa experiences available elsewhere in the Coachella Valley.

Once regarded as a suburb of Palm Springs, Cathedral City has transformed itself into a booming hub of entertainment and commerce. Big League Dreams Sports Park, the 28- acre fantasy land that is perfect for group outings, captivates fans with nostalgic replicas of Wrigley Field, Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium. Cimarrón Golf Resort, a newer public course, has become a town treasure. Cathedral City’s dramatic downtown renaissance is dazzling, with exciting new architecture set amid palm tree-lined boulevards and attractions such as the state-of-the-art big screen excitement of the Desert IMAX Theatre and the marvelous Mary Pickford Stadium 14 Cinemas.
