Soak Up the R&R in Greater Palm Springs

For centuries, Greater Palm Springs has been known as a magical, sun-kissed oasis—and a destination for wellness and relaxation. Along with its famous spas and an array of mineral and natural hot springs, the area is also home to more than 1,000 miles of breathtaking trails. Visitors enjoy everything from walks through pristine canyons once inhabited by Native Americans to epic hikes and views of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains.    

Discover Greater Palm Springs

Greater Palm Springs consists of nine distinct resort cities that create a natural escape. The area is famous for waterfalls, spectacular mountains and healing spas surrounded by whispering palms. Each city is unique, from the chic scene in Palm Springs to luxurious resorts in Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert.

Get Your Wellness on in Greater Palm Springs

It’s easy to make your Greater Palm Springs stay healthy. Start the day with a sun salutation at a yoga studio or class. Restore your body with a healthy breakfast or a cold-pressed juice. Next, head out for a rejuvenating morning hike. Then take a quick drive to Desert Hot Springs and its mineral springs. (Tip: Many spas offer day passes so you can take the waters and soak up all their healing powers for a few hours.) End your Greater Palm Springs day by treating yourself to a soothing massage before relaxing with a cool drink poolside.
