Palm Springs Holidays

There are many accommodation options in Palm Springs, from Private Villas to large Resorts, for you and your fellow travellers to enjoy. One stunning unique hotel is L’Horizon Resort and Spa: a private mid-century modern compound that has been transformed into a luxury, adult only, boutique resort, with a large infinity pool and spa services to truly rest and relax. The hotel also has its own private residence option, complete with private pool and kitchen, for those extra special occasions. Another beautiful hotel in Palm Springs is Kimpton The Rowan: a sophisticated property with a rooftop pool, fantastic fine-dining at 4 Saints, and large focus on California’s beloved ‘indoor-outdoor’ living ambience. The executive chef is known for his refined menu including king crab, espresso-cured venison and much more! There are also an abundance of private villas to rent in Palm Springs – though these are extremely popular, especially during Coachella season (April).

Coachella, or The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, is one of Palm Springs’ main attractions. The festival is held over 2 separate weekends in April and tickets go on sale months before the actual event. Similar to the UK’s Glastonbury Festival, Coachella attracts crowds from around the world, not just the USA, so if you are planning to go during this time but not attend the festival you might want to rethink your dates as Palm Springs will be exceptionally busy. Though, if you are planning to attend the festival, Charter Travel can help you secure all your holiday needs once you have purchased your tickets as booking accommodation, car hire, etc early will be essential for this busy time of year.

Palm Springs is about leisure, relaxation, luxury and unwinding from the business of everyday life. So, lounging around the pool for hours is an absolute must whilst on your Palm Springs holiday. However, not everyone loves to sit and relax all day every day, and when in Palm Springs there are plenty of other activities to keep you entertained. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is certainly a favourite activity for those looking to take in the impressive views Palm Springs has to offer. The gondola ride will take you high above Palm Springs, offering amazing sights of the Coachella Valley. Palm Springs is also home to some exciting and beautiful hikes, including a 2-mile loop that will take you to a 50ft waterfall tucked inside the Tahquitz Canyon.

Palm Springs is known for its excellent restaurants where you can sample food by amazing chefs from all over the world. 4 Saints is one of the best restaurants in Palm Springs and it is located at the Kimpton The Rowan hotel; the restaurant has a sleek and sultry dining room that boasts incredible mountain views on its stunning patio. The menu is an amazing mix, from 14 day dry-aged steaks to roasted beets with pistachio butter, that highlights local Californian ingredients. Birba is another fantastic eatery that serves Italian cuisine al fresco under the beautifully warm Palm Springs sky. Birba is a romantic spot ideal for couples, but their friendly staff and amazing food makes it a great place for family-friendly dining.

You can’t talk about Palm Springs without highlighting its fantastic golf courses. Desert Willow Golf Course offers players 2 of Coachella Valley’s best courses, the Firecliff Course and the Mountain View Course, and both are championship courses. Though if you are looking for a hotel with a golf course attached, Marriott’s Shadow Ridge Golf Club is an excellent choice.
