Her Name Was Lola

Holiday Rental Description

Lie back and relax in the cabana lounge under the watchful gaze of the pink flamingo. If that doesn't sing Palm Springs, we don't know what will. Surrounded on all sides by professional golf courses and incredible hiking trails, you'll be spoilt for choice if ever are compelled to leave. But with a private saltwater pool, complete with an oversized spa, sun loungers, Acapulco chairs and a beautiful backyard lined by tall palms, this one will be hard to depart from.

Stylish custom designer touches are everywhere to see here, with a marble kitchen and sleek dining area that benefits from an abundance of natural light throughout the day, thanks to the 16ft sliding glass wall. It feels as though this place was made for entertaining with the open-plan layout and light-filled spaces, including an elegant living room with modern furnishings and curated houseplants that will have you relaxing in style. The bedrooms are positively brimming with colour, courtesy of the bold wallpaper prints and mid-century influence, creating a laidback beachy feel.

For those who enjoy a more rugged terrain, hop in your rental car and take the twelve-minute drive to the Indian Canyons for a hike to remember with breathtaking scenery. For fans of impressive viewpoints, we recommend you make a beeline for the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, a five-minute drive from the start of your hike. Elsewhere, Coachella Valley makes for a great day trip out – the nearby town of Indio is just a twenty-minute drive from your villa. Having worked up an appetite, head back home for a barbecue dinner in the garden. Chilly desert evenings can be made warm by the fire pit, as you end the day as you started it, gathered together in the copa cabana.
