The lifestyle in Palm Springs · the California desert · Riverside County

The lifestyle scene in Palm Springs, California.

Palm Springs is the desert's iconic resort city — mid-century modern architecture, a famously large LGBTQ+ community, the Tramway, film festival, and a year-round economy built entirely around hotel pools, spas, and the fantasy of the California desert. It's been a magnet for the unconventional, the creative, and the pleasure-seeking since the Hollywood golden age, and it's never stopped filling that role.

What the scene looks like here

Palm Springs is home to Exotic Dreams Resort, a clothing-optional lifestyle-couples hotel affiliated with SDC, SLS, and Kasidie — the one Coachella Valley resort actually in Palm Springs proper. Sea Mountain Inn and Secret Springs are 12 to 15 miles north in Desert Hot Springs, close enough to make both options part of the same weekend plan. Palm Springs is the natural base for any desert lifestyle trip: the resorts are nearby, the city is openly pleasure-forward, and the community already embedded here is welcoming to verified couples.
