The Getaway. A serene escape in the center of town with a stunning mountain backdrop. C’mon…can it get much better?

This is the second in my series of desirable places to stay, eat, drink and unwind in and around the Palm Springs area.
La Sarena Villas is an adult only, dog friendly, luxury boutique resort smack in the heart of Palm Springs. With only 18 secluded guest villas each with their own private patio, complete with a romantic claw foot tub, fire pit, and built in benches…it’s pretty much perfect.

Redeveloped as a luxury hotel in 2016 by award winning architect, May Sung, with all the modern amenities of a 5 star hotel. Each piece of furniture, all materials and finishes have been carefully hand picked by interior design group, Avenue Interior Design.
I really love the Happy Hour at Sugar High, a special root top deck. The bartenders know what they’re doing mixing up amazing cocktails. Appies are good too.
Then there’s the restaurant Azucar which is dedicated to excellence, serving up modern contemporary cuisine with local ingredients.


Let’s not forget Whispers Spa: A place of tranquil serenity to unwind and let go of the pressures from everyday life! There’s also a lovely boutique with great finds.

Yup; I’m hooked!
