Our guides to food, trails, golf, spas, and festival season across the Coachella Valley.
Pick a category below to start planning your trip.
Date shakes and tacos in Indio, dinner in Palm Springs, and coffee stops along the way.
Cool mornings, real elevation gain, and views that make the heat worth it. Go early, always carry more water than you think you need.
Explore mineral springs, spa treatments, and resort day passes.
Terra Luz and The Cozy Cactus both sit inside Indian Palms Country Club, so this one's close to home.
April is festival month, but Modernism Week and the BNP Paribas Open bring their own crowds earlier in the year. Book those dates well ahead.
Compare Indio, Palm Springs, and the places between them before choosing your base.
The Cozy Cactus is our family stay in Indio. Terra Luz has a private pool and three king bedrooms for couples, friends, and families. The Sundune is in Palm Springs; The Well welcomes stays of 28 nights or more.
