Pool Days and Slow Mornings

Palm Springs

3 days Group of 6 $700–$1,200/person Chill & low-key

Palm Springs is for the bride who doesn't want a rager — she wants a beautiful, relaxed weekend with her closest people. Think mid-century pool house, spa afternoons, private chef dinners, and golden-hour drives through the desert. Slow, intentional, gorgeous.

Here's a sample 3-day weekend. This is a concept itinerary — yours would be fully custom based on your group size, budget, and how much (or how little) you want to do.

Sample Weekend

Friday

Arrive & unwind

  • Check in at the private rental — mid-century modern, pool ready.
  • Pool, charcuterie, and rosé. No agenda, just vibes.
  • Dinner at Workshop Kitchen + Bar — seasonal, beautiful, and walkable from downtown.
  • One drink at Bootlegger Tiki for something fun and unexpected.

Saturday

Slow luxury

  • Slow morning — coffee by the pool, no rush.
  • Brunch at Cheeky's — local favorite, worth the wait.
  • Afternoon at Two Bunch Palms spa — hot springs, massages, full reset.
  • Private chef taco night at the rental — no reservations, no driving, just good food and good company.
  • Movie under the stars by the pool.

Sunday

Golden hour & goodbye

  • Brunch at Farm — fresh, light, and the perfect cap.
  • Optional: golden-hour drive to Joshua Tree (40 min) for photos and desert magic.
  • Last pool session, then airport. Already planning the reunion trip.

Where to Stay

Korakia Pensione — Moroccan-Mediterranean boutique hotel, stunning pool area. ~$450/night.

Ace Hotel & Swim Club — the classic PS pick, great pool scene, walkable. ~$300/night.

Private mid-century rental — the best option for groups. Your own pool, kitchen, and yard. $1,200–$2,500/night for 6+.

The Aesthetic

Terracotta, cream, dusty pink, and sage. Matching robes, citrus-printed napkins, hand-lettered itinerary cards. Desert minimalism meets warm hospitality.
