Day 1: Recharge & Restore

Kick off your wellness journey with sunrise yoga at Power Yoga Palm Springs, where you’ll practice amidst swaying palm trees under sun-kissed skies. This invigorating session sets the tone for a day of restoration, blending mindfulness with the region’s natural beauty.

Next, head to The Spa at Séc-he, located atop the sacred Agua Caliente hot mineral spring. Book one of their 22 private mineral baths, where warm, healing waters soothe your body and soul. Enhance your experience with a eucalyptus steam session or a body scrub infused with desert botanicals like jojoba and sage, designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate. This sacred setting offers a deep connection to the land’s healing traditions.

Day 2: Soak, Spa & Savor

Start your second day with a luxurious Swedish or hot stone massage at Spa La Quinta at La Quinta Resort & Club. Nestled at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains, this spa is surrounded by tranquil botanical gardens, creating a peaceful ambiance for your treatment. Take advantage of Spa Month deals, such as the 1-hour Grounding Massage for $210 (normally $252) at Westin Wellness Spa, to melt away tension.

In the afternoon, visit Azure Palm Hot Springs, just 15 minutes from Palm Springs. Soak in their natural hot mineral pools, stroll along reflexology paths, or unwind in the Himalayan salt room. For a holistic touch, try their juice-cleanse retreats to detox and recharge. The serene desert setting enhances every moment of relaxation. Check out Spa Month’s exclusive offers, like the $75 Off Romantic Sunset Private Oasis Tub Rental, perfect for a serene evening soak as the sun sets behind Mt. San Gorgonio.

Wrap up your day with a healthy, locally inspired meal at one of Greater Palm Springs’ farm-to-table restaurants.

Day 3: Stretch & Explore

Cap your wellness weekend with mindful movement and exploration. Begin with a guided sound bath at the iconic Integratron near Landers, where resonant frequencies promote deep relaxation. Alternatively, join a yoga or breathwork session to center your mind and body.

For an active adventure, embark on a scenic hike through Indian Canyons, where palm-lined trails and stunning desert vistas await. This sacred land, home to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, offers a profound connection to nature.

End your retreat at Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas, indulging in a signature Cactus & Date Scrub with indigenous nopal cactus and medjool dates acting as powerful desert botanicals. Then they’re blended with sage, grapefruit, and juniper, creating a unique sugar exfoliation for the body. Followed by a hydrating cactus moisturizer application. This is just an example of one of the many treatments that harness the power of desert ingredients to nourish and restore.
