Want a taste of nostalgic Palm Springs without compromising on luxury? This renovated mid-century home is the answer. Set on Millionaire's Row in the Indian Canyons and remodelled by renowned renovation firm Thomboy Properties, the house has five bedrooms and six spa-like bathrooms (along with six flat-screen TVs). Here you'll enjoy the best of indoor-outdoor living thanks to the free-flowing floorplan, moveable glass walls and covered terrace areas. Once outside, you'll find a private swimming pool and elegant sun loungers set against a mountain backdrop. Once you've cooked up a Californian feast in the kitchen or on the barbecue grill, dine alfresco on the terrace and finish the evening gathered around the fire pit. If you can lever yourself out of the lounger, you couldn't be better placed for hikes through Indian Canyons and the San Jacinto Mountains, ranging from casual circular strolls to more challenging multi-mile loops. Elsewhere, Downtown Palm Springs is just a five-minute drive and packed with eclectic shops, absorbing sculpture gardens and mouthwatering farm-to-fork bistros.
