Other Things To Do

La Quinta Art Festival

As luck would have it, the La Quinta Art Festival is February 26-March 1, held in the La Quinta Civic Center with over 185 artists, food, cocktails and live music. In Old Town itself are charming shops, coffee spots, restaurants and art galleries.

Spa Time

There are several spas in the Palm Springs area to choose from - The Spa at Sec-he is new and has the above salt-room as well as mineral baths. JW Marriott and Agua Caliente Sunstone are also great options.

Eldorado Polo Club

Sunday Polo is one of the must-do activities in the desert during the winter months. If you have never experienced a polo match, we guarantee it is a hoot. Half time divot stomp gives very Pretty Woman energy — minus the shopping montage…maybe just do both!
