Palm Springs City is a destination all by itself. However the Palm Springs greater area actually is composed of a number of major cities with their own unique flavors, including: Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La quinta, Coachella and Desert Hot Springs. Here's a brief visit to these little gems.

Palm Springs

The whole desert area is often referred to as “Palm Springs,” but it’s actually a single city — and the one that started tourism for this whole desert valley area. Today, Palm Springs the city has lots of history to call our own, from the charming village atmosphere to the famous collection of Mid-Century Modern architecture.

Long been the popular getaway spot or home for many entertainment stars (Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Elvis and Priscilla, and Bob Hope), Palm springs continues this legacy with today's stars rediscovering this same oasis. And "America's Desert Playground" is also the playground of the otherwise well-to-do and a host of other sun-lovers from around the world. Our charming resort city always welcomes all to our warm sands and relaxed, village atmosphere. Rich in history and blessed with the finest weather in the world, Palm Springs is the ancestral home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.

Downtown is where the action is. Along the Palm Canyon Drive are shops, galleries, and coffee houses. Just down the street is the historic Plaza Theater, the scene of many of Jack Benny radio broadcasts as well as several Hollywood premieres. Today it is the home of The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, which stars top entertainers and glamorous beauties all between 59-85 years young! The mission-style architecture throughout the village is a big part of an ambiance that's sophisticated yet playful. From a simple hike or a peaceful picnic by a stream to an adventurous jeep excursion or horseback ride deep into the canyons, this is a true oasis for the nature lovers.

Desert Hot Springs

Desert Hot Springs is a beautiful and unique little city of spas and resorts just minutes North of Palm Springs, in the foothills of Joshua Tree National Park. Built over one of the world’s finest natural hot mineral water aquifers, Desert Hot Springs is also proud of our pure and delicious award winning drinking water, clean air, magnificent scenery, and easy access to all the events and attractions in the other Desert Resort Cities of the Coachella Valley.

Not surprisingly, spas rule in Desert Hot Springs. Our hotels and spas offer an incredible variety of massages and treatments to soothe and rejuvenate visitors from all over the world. Among our other attractions are the educational Hot Springs Park, which offers visitors and locals the opportunity to view the actual progression of groundwater available to the community. Plus, hiking, golf, tennis, shuffleboard, sunning, shopping, sightseeing, bicycle riding, ballooning and horseback riding, and museums, theaters, concerts and cultural events too! Enjoy!

Cathedral City

Playtime comes to mind when “Cat City” is discussed. Movie theaters, amusement parts, miniature golf courses and ball fields guarantee family-friendly fun. Big kids can comb off-the-beaten-path consignment shops during the day, and in the evening explore the nightlife — where there’s something for everyone.

 

 

 

Rancho Mirage

Where else could you find a major intersection comprised of Bob Hope Dr. and Frank Sinatra Dr.? It speaks volumes about this star-studded town. The Betty Ford Center isn’t the only celebrity draw in this especially pretty place: Country clubs, resorts, a glamorous casino and a new movie/restaurant complex, with its own river, add to the allure.

Clean air, blue skies, crystal clear nights, 350 days of sunshine each year, resort living and superb dining all contribute to the superior quality of life in Rancho Mirage.

The community of Rancho Mirage is a national leader in luxury residential developments and is home to several world-class, award-winning destination resorts. The city is noted for its fine restaurants, professional services, financial institutions, and home furnishing centers. In addition, Rancho Mirage offers five-star health care at renowned medical facilities such as Eisenhower Medical Center and the Betty Ford Center.

In the center of Southern California's rapidly growing Coachella Valley, 11 miles from Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage has easy access to the entire Southern California market of over 20 million people via major freeways, rail corridors and the Palm Springs International Airport, which offers service to all major metropolitan hub areas.

Palm Desert

Steeped in Native American history, contemporary Palm Desert pulses with creative energy.

Indian Wells

The tennis facilities and golf courses of this meticulously manicured City play host to first-class tournaments and legendary athletes from all over the world. The City boasts six championship golf courses with 153 holes and is hope to the Bob Hope Chrysler Desert Classic, a regular PGA tour event. The internationally acclaimed and televised Tennis Masters Series, featuring the world's premier tennis players, is held annually at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

Explore the multitude of world-class resorts, spas, restaurants and activities that have made Indian Wells a legendary destination.

The postcard-perfect climate averages a daytime temperature of 88 degrees and 55 degrees at night.

La Quinta

Once upon a time, more than 50 years ago, there was Palm Springs and there was Indio, and there was nothing in between — except for one of the world’s best resorts. This now thriving town took its name from that still-operating elegant enclave. Today’s visitors live happily every after shopping, dining and playing the greatest golf in the world.

 

 

 

Indio

The valley’s largest and oldest city still celebrates its agricultural roots with festivals and fairs. But nowadays country clubs and golf courses mingle with date and orange groves. Indio’s sophistication shines through at its Vegas-worthy casino and posh polo fields.

Indio is also one of the largest gateways to Joshua Tree National Park, where the Colorado and Mojave Deserts come together to form some of the most unique geological displays known to man.
Indio is located at the eastern end of the Coachella Valley, which is composed of nine cities: Desert Hot Springs, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho, Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Palm Springs, and Coachella. The total permanent population numbers 180,000, with a seasonal rise to approximately 240,000.
Indio hosts a number of national sporting events, including the Skins Game and the Indio Desert Circuit -- America's largest horse show -- plus world class polo .
