5 Epic Luxury Homes in Palm Springs

Located just 100 miles from Los Angeles, Palm Springs feels a world away from the bustle of Tinseltown. Since the 1930s, the rich and famous (and people who love them) have been taking refuge in Palm Springs, drawn by its warm, dry Sonoran Desert climate, hot springs, and mid-century modern aesthetics, as well as its golf courses, art museums, and all-around laid-back atmosphere.  

When you want to soak up the vintage Palm Springs ambiance, there’s no better way to do so than by checking into one of these luxurious homes. Here are five of the best Palm Springs luxury vacation rentals available from KEY.

While shooting a game of pool on the powder blue table in the billiard room, you’ll be dazzled by the stained glass windows and inspired when mixing cocktails in the adjacent wet bar backed by colorful Bisazza mosaic tiles. Afterward, relax with your drink on the built-in, elevated chaise sofa across the lounge area from the marble fireplace.

Canyons House is also replete with outdoor recreation opportunities: cool off from the heat with regular dips in the 75-foot swimming pool, or lounge on the Bisazza inlaid tanning shelf. Two outdoor bars and a grilling nook inspire frequent alfresco entertaining, especially at the canopied patio dining table.
