🏡
Discover why Indio is known as the “New Palm Springs.”
Enjoy the same endless sunshine, mountain views, and desert charm — just 30 minutes from downtown Palm Springs — but with easier access to Coachella, Stagecoach, and the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, and better short term rental regulations.

The Villa Palms is tucked quietly off Highway 111, offering a peaceful, convenient base close to shops, dining, and golf. While it’s not inside a luxury gated community, the location balances privacy and practicality — just minutes from world-class neighborhoods like The Madison Club, home to the Kardashians, Justin Bieber, Cindy Crawford, and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

With year-round sunshine, a resort-style pool, and quick access to festivals, tennis, and Palm Springs attractions, The Villa Palms is your perfect Coachella Valley retreat. 🌴

Birthday Stay 🩷

Words can’t even define the experience I had my whole stay. Coming into a special chapter I wanted luxury peace and happiness with my loved ones. I got exactly that plus more. The house exceeded my expectations. Fully stocked with all you could imagine, beds overly comfortable, the layout & design of the house 100/100. You can clearly tell the house was built with love. Last, the hot ERIN hospitality is unmatched. How does one manage to be super mom to her village while being a boss lady to her clients?!! Never hesitate to book with her. Thank you havenhause for an PHENOMENAL STAY!!!!💕👏🏽🥂
