Start Dreaming Again – It’s Time to Head to Greater Palm Springs

The sweet sighs of relief heard across Southern California mean spas and resorts are officially open. That means, we are all hitting the massage table for a long overdue spa treatment.

From romantic alfresco dining to sparkling pools to pampering spa resorts, sun-kissed Greater Palm Springs is the perfect place to start living life again.

Greater Palm Springs, SoCal’s Choice for R&R

It’s true: blue skies, sunshine and palm tree views are endless in Greater Palm Springs. Our favorite ways to soak it all in? A leisurely patio brunch followed by a hot stone massage and a chill afternoon at the spa resort pool.

This SoCal wellness oasis boasts amazing art events, museums, outdoor concerts and many of the top spas in California.

Four tips for a picture-perfect wellness day:

1. Enjoy a healthy breakfast on the patio at your hotel or favorite restaurant. Be sure to order fruits and fruit juices to jump-start your potassium levels.
2. Head to the pool for a refreshing dip and nap. We love the pool at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Rancho Mirage. But hey- it’s Greater Palm Springs and all the pools are wonderful!
3. Now, luxuriate with the massage you cleverly booked in advance. All About Massage and Palm Springs Spa Massage are two of our favorites.
4. Next up? Another poolside nap, swimming and drinks by the pool. Then it’s time for dinner, starlight strolls and remembering what a spa vacation is all about.
