Pull up a high-backed stool and have a cocktail at the vintage bar in this mid-century modern home in Palm Springs. Rather enjoy the moonlit desert sky, move the party out to the pool house and gather on the L-shaped sofa. In the morning, head out early for a round of golf at one of way too many PGA-caliber courses, and experience the challenge and beauty of desert golf.

Designed in 1950 by Herbert Burns, one of the founding fathers of the desert modern movement, this villa is like a living museum to fans of the style. In 2018, Modern Palms had a slight revitalization, adding new furniture, artwork, and tech features to the charming, Old Hollywood atmosphere. Outside, lush desert greenery, palm trees, and a cascading water feature create the perfect environment for reading in the shade, as well as late-night pool parties. The fully-equipped kitchen is another great spot to hang out, and if you need to slip away from the group, there’s an office space for private affairs.

If Modern Palms interior decor has inspired you, pay a visit to Palm Springs Art Museum and check out the rich history of the desert art scene. After, head to downtown Palm Springs for lunch at a local cafe, bakery, or patio restaurant. If you’re a fan of vintage clothes shopping, you’re going to love the desert cities. When you need a break from the hustle and bustle, take a stroll through Moorten Botanical Gardens to relax and unwind.
