The One Thing We'd Tell Every First-Timer About Palm Springs

If you only take one piece of advice from us about Palm Springs, make it this one.

Our experience

Stay longer than you think you need. Three days feels efficient, but the rhythm of this place — the morning walks, the long afternoons, the slow happy hours, the regulars at the bar — doesn't really reveal itself until day four or five. The people who tell us they 'didn't get' Palm Springs are almost always the people who came for a weekend. A week here is a different trip entirely.

Try it

Plan a week or more with a swap on HomeExchange using referral code roderick-15918, book a longer stay through Klook, and get trip-planning ideas from Visit Greater Palm Springs.
