Nothing says Palm Springs quite like bright colours and retro designs. With a youthful spirit and an eclectic choice of furnishings and artwork, this apartment is perfect for couples who want to explore this desert resort city. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out to mountain views, as well as making the most of the bountiful amount of sunshine this corner of California enjoys. We think we'd appreciate the freedom to cook up our own healthy recipes in the well-equipped kitchen and serve them out on the private terrace. Get ready for a morning hike up the nearby Cactus to Clouds Trail, which starts twenty minutes' walk from your front door, before coming home to cool down with a dive in the shared heated swimming pool. Even better, you can relax your muscles in the adjacent spa pool. With North Palm Canyon Drive just outside the address and an array of cafés and restaurants leading downtown, you’ve got everything you need within easy reach for an unforgettable break.
