Help clients find their oasis in Greater Palm Springs
A haven of relaxation, adventure and recreation in southern California where everyone is welcome, Greater Palm Springs is well worth a look for your clients’ next getaway.
Home to natural hot mineral springs, lush palm groves, 100-plus golf courses and more than 300 days of sunshine annually, Greater Palm Springs truly is a paradise in southern California’s Coachella Valley, with so much to explore.
Accessible from the UK via San Francisco, with alternative routes through Denver and New York, it’s just a five-minute drive to downtown from Palm Springs International Airport.
Beyond Palm Springs city itself, nine resort cities tempt visitors with their own highlights. Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio and Coachella each offer their own blend of experiences, inviting visitors to check in, and chill out.
Whether it’s marvelling at mid-century modern architecture; adventuring outdoors; playing golf; soaking up art and a thriving music scene buoyed by the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival; indulging in culinary experiences or relaxation, Greater Palm Springs has it all.
ANCIENT TREASURES
With natural healing waters from hot springs harnessed by the earliest Native American settlers, Greater Palm Springs is a hot spot for wellness. In April, the Agua Caliente tribe debuted The Spa at Sec-he, a spa complex that brings the ancient healing waters to the public, along with innovative treatments and therapies.
Golf is also high on the agenda in Greater Palm Springs. Avid golfers can hit the links on 100 golf courses, which have been designed by some of the world’s top golf architects and pros.
If clients prefer to get their kicks from nature, they can lace up their boots and explore hundreds of miles of hiking trails that criss-cross all types of terrain and they may discover cacti, twisted canyons and lush palm tree oases, as well as cottontail rabbits, bobcats and more than 200 species of bird.
A WARM WELCOME TO ALL
With a vibrant lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community, everyone is welcome in Greater Palm Springs. In November, Greater Palm Springs Pride features a large parade and block party, while spring sees two large-scale events for both girls and guys. It’s not just big events though, every day of the year LGBTQ visitors will find venues and events that wave rainbow flags.
The destination also celebrates its own indigenous heritage. Originally settled by the Cahuilla Indians 8,000 years ago, their descendants still dwell in Greater Palm Springs today. Visitors can explore the culture of one of the tribes at the new Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza, which opens on 3 November 2023 with a tribal museum, a state-of-the-art spa and an outdoor Oasis Trail.
So if you’re looking for a destination to captivate clients, why not let Greater Palm Springs help them find their own oasis?
