Palm Springs

Palm Springs Travel Articles

Welcome to Palm Springs—where the sun shows off, the pools are basically a personality trait, and mid-century modern isn’t a style, it’s a lifestyle.

This is the kind of place where brunch turns into cocktails, cocktails turn into sunset selfies, and suddenly you’re browsing real estate like, “Could we…just live here now?”

Consider this your Palm Springs cheat sheet for doing the desert right—equal parts relaxation, retro glam, and just a little bit of “we deserve this.”

Articles

Because winging it in the desert heat is…a bold choice.

Our Palm Springs articles cut through the “where do we even start?” spiral with actual, usable advice. Think: where to find the best poolside tacos, which vintage shops are worth sweating for, and how to plan a weekend that feels equal parts chill and iconic.

We cover the classics and the under-the-radar gems—so whether you're here for a girls’ trip, a romantic escape, or a “we needed to get out of town yesterday” reset, you’ll have a plan that delivers.

Events

Palm Springs doesn’t just do events—it commits to a vibe.

We’re talking music festivals where your outfit matters as much as the lineup (hello, Coachella energy), retro-inspired pool parties, art walks under warm desert nights, and seasonal events that somehow make 90-degree evenings feel like a personality upgrade.

From Modernism Week (aka architecture lovers losing their minds—in a good way) to low-key local happenings, we’ll tell you what’s worth showing up for—and how to do it without melting.

Attractions

Yes, you’ll take the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. And yes, it will be worth it.

But beyond the big names, this city is packed with experiences that feel straight out of a movie montage: windmill-dotted drives, colorful doors that deserve their own Instagram grid, and quiet desert hikes where the only sound is your own dramatic main-character thoughts.

Our guides help you hit the must-sees and uncover the kind of spots that make people say, “Wait, how did you find this place?”

Tours

Because sometimes you want someone else to plan things—and we support that.

From guided architecture tours (mid-century homes that will make you question every design choice you’ve ever made) to food tours that hop between chic patios and hidden gems, Palm Springs tours are equal parts informative and indulgent.

Bonus: many are small-group or private, which means no awkward herd energy—just you, your people, and a very good time.

Hotels

Let’s be honest: you’re here for the pool.

Palm Springs hotels range from sleek boutique stays with retro flair to full-on desert resorts where the cabana life is strong. Whether you want a family-friendly spot with space to spread out or an adults-only oasis where the only schedule is “sip, swim, repeat,” we’ve done the digging.

Expect details on vibe, price ranges, and perks—like complimentary breakfast, spa access, or that dangerously convenient poolside bar.

Packages

Because planning should feel exciting—not like a second job.

Our Palm Springs vacation packages bundle the good stuff—hotels, tours, and top attractions—so you can skip the endless tabs and go straight to “we’re booked.”

It’s the easiest way to lock in a getaway that feels curated, seamless, and just a little bit luxurious…without the planning burnout.

If you’re already mentally packing linen outfits and oversized sunglasses, same.

And if you’re not? Give it five minutes. Palm Springs has that effect.
