Palm Springs
Palm Springs is located in the Sonoran Desert of Southern California. The city is well known for its hot springs, spas, stylish hotels, midcentury modern architecture, and 350-days-per-year of sunshine. Old Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor owned homes in Palm Springs, and celebrities continue to flock to the area, especially with its close proximity to the site of the annual Coachella Music Festival. Palm Springs has also become a draw for wellness-seekers with its mineral hot springs; health spas; and proximity to Joshua Tree National Park. Just a two-hour drive from Los Angeles (and a quick six-hour flight from New York), Palm Springs is perfectly situated for women looking for a retreat getaway in the States.
