Under The Canyon Sky

The highlights

• The outdoor space is fantastic with a nice lawned garden, alfresco sitting and dining spaces and a fab outdoor pool.
• Cook up a storm in the modern kitchen before dining in the sunshine or inside at the stylish dining table.
• Big windows and whitewashed walls ensure the living areas are flooded with natural light.
• Perfectly located to explore all that Palm Springs has to offer.

You should know

• We recommend having a car to get around the area, especially if you plan on going further afield.
• Bedrooms three and four share the third bathroom.
• Children should take care around the pool as it's not closed off.
• The airport is close by, so expect to hear some noise and see the planes taking off and landing.

The detail

One glance at the backyard and you'll understand why we adore this Palm Springs home — there's a pool, jacuzzi, barbecue area, fire pit and championship ping pong table to keep everyone occupied. Spend your days hanging by the pool, soaking up the views of the San Jacinto Mountains. A covered seating area provides a shady break from the sun – and why not cool off with a cocktail in hand. When the sun goes down and the chilly air kicks in, everyone can gather around the fire pit, toasting marshmallows and chatting about the day. Though the backyard is the star of the show, the inside is wonderful, too. It's bright and modern, with nods to the mid-century style Palm Springs is known for. You're a quick car ride from the vibrant Palm Canyon Drive — head there for bars, restaurants, and shops. Joshua Tree National Park is only an hour away — perfect for a day trip — but we don't blame you if you'd rather stay home, unwinding in your outdoor oasis.

Palm Springs offers sparkling, turquoise pool waters, and a laid-back yet glamorous lifestyle, mixed with the most elegant floor-to-ceiling, glass-windowed spectacles of homes (Palm Springs has the highest concentration of mid-century modern architecture in the entire world).

Also known for its love affair with Hollywood, it gained popularity during Hollywood’s Golden Age when movie studios imposed the two-hour rule, essentially banning talent from being more than two hours away from LA in case of last-minute jobs. Today, it’s a mix of all that, and more.

With a rich cultural heritage that involves lots of festivals, architecture tours dedicated to visionary designs, and over a hundred golf courses surrounded by the most beautiful desert landscapes, it’s an oasis waiting to be explored.
