Notes from the host
The Spanish Estate in Old Las Palmas Neighborhood
Step through the private gated entrance of this legendary Spanish Estate and discover why the stars chose this hidden gem in
Palm Springs` most exclusive enclave.
A PRIVATE DESERT OASIS
Completely enveloped by towering hedges and dramatic walls, this Old Las Palmas masterpiece offers what celebrities crave most: absolute seclusion. The shimmering pool greets you upon arrival, reflecting the majestic San Jacinto Mountains that stand guard over your private paradise.
The estate`s strategic south and west orientation captures nature`s daily masterpieces--golden sunrises that gently warm the pool waters and spectacular sunsets that paint the sky in hues of amber and rose.
Mountain vistas frame every moment, whether you`re lounging poolside or gazing through panoramic windows.
ARCHITECTRAL SPLENDOR
Authentic Spanish beams arch overhead as you move through spaces designed for both grandeur and comfort. The magnificent granite bar beckons for evening cocktails, while the temperature-controlled wine storage ensure your finest vintages are always perfectly chilled.
The indoor-outdoor flow feels effortless: step directly from the covered lanai to the pool area, where an ingenious outdoor shower and bathroom allow you to rinse off without tracking water through the house. As night falls, gather around the pool for sunset swims that transition seamlessly into stargazing.
LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATIONS
The lavish master suite offers private pool access for impromptu midnight dips or serene sunrise swimming. Sink into the sumptuous soaking tub after a day in the desert sun or wake refreshed in a sanctuary of sophisticated comfort.
For guests seeking additional privacy, the separate casita offers an intimate retreat with its state-of-art Valux fireplace system--an ingenious fusion of ambient sound and radiant heat that creates the perfect atmosphere on those rare, cooler evenings in Palm Springs.
ENTERTAINER`S DREAM
Designed for effortless entertaining, the open-concept living spaces feature a professional kitchen that seamlessly flows in the living area, complete with a welcoming fireplace. The outdoor BBQ griddle stands ready for al fresco dining experiences under the desert sky.
All five bedrooms feature luxurious en-suite bathrooms--perfect for couples traveling together or family gatherings where privacy is paramount. The casita`s clever layout includes a separate pull-out sofa, comfortably accommodating two couples with complete privacy.
