Luxury Palm Springs holidays offer numerous activities for visitors; one of the most popular is the hot springs which give the town its name. Try them out at the Desert Hot Springs Centre, nestled in the foothills of the Joshua Tree National Park, where the mineral rich thermal waters feed over twenty spa resorts and day passes are available. If overlooking the area’s natural wonders piques your interest, then take one of the many rugged jeep adventure tours to a local canyon.

Our Palm Springs hotels have many excellent restaurants, cafes and bars for you to explore, offering everything from American classics such as succulent burgers, to dishes that are influenced by Mexico, such as burritos and nachos. When you decide to eat out in town for the night, you’ll find plenty of choice, from pizza bistros to five-star dining. Palm Springs is rich in delicious gourmet offerings. As the area enjoys such a mild climate, many eateries offer alfresco dining.

Holidays to Palm Springs are a golfer’s dream; many courses are decorated with palm trees and overlook idyllic desert landscapes. To cool off there’s the all-season Knott's Soak City with its daring water slides. If you want to make a day of it, just rent a cabana and get your refreshments delivered. For a panoramic view of the region, take a 4km ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, where the rotating car starts in the Sonoran Desert and arrives at Mount San Jacinto State Park.
