Take over all of Mahala: fourteen rooms, one lush pool and spa, and a private courtyard under the mountains, wrapped in some of the boldest design at the gateway to Palm Springs' Uptown Design District. With seven kings, six queens, and a wheelchair-accessible queen with a roll-in shower, the property sleeps 28 across rooms that each carry their own personality. It's built for the trips that need everyone in one place: weddings, retreats, milestone birthdays, and group getaways.
Every room starts with the essentials done right: a spacious waterfall shower, a massive 4K TV with a direct HDMI input (bring your Roku), a Keurig, a safe, an ice bucket, and a fridge stocked with snacks and drinks. Yes, complimentary.
With a full buyout, the grounds are yours alone. The pool and spa anchor the property, framed by cactus gardens and desert landscaping, and the firepit keeps the evenings going. The central courtyard opens to full-on mountain views, with plenty of lounge seating for the whole group.
Mahala means "neighborhood" in several ancient languages, and the location lives up to the name. Sushi at Sandfish, smash burgers at The Heyday, scoops at Shoppe, and coffee at Cartel are all a couple of blocks down Palm Canyon, and breakfast at the legendary Billy Reed's is right across the street. Downtown Palm Springs, the Aerial Tramway, and canyon trails are a short drive away.
The interiors, custom furnishings, and large-scale supergraphics that keep evolving across the grounds come from Barcelona's Colorola Studios, and the result is a micro-resort with real personality: high-end design, playful art, and a genuinely friendly welcome.
