Palm Springs & Indian Wells Travel Guide
Palm Springs & Indian Wells
Okay, now hear me out…It’s important to note that Palm Springs and Indian Wells are not super close to one another. But after few trips to visit my pops, I’ve completely fallen in love with Indian Wells. Whether you spend all of your time in Indian Wells, all of your time in Palm Springs, or a combination of both you will not be disappointed.
The desert is the perfect couples getaway, and the ultimate bachelorette destination all rolled into one. Both Indian Wells and Palm Springs are incredibly dynamic, filled with fun architecture, warm sunshine, and fantastic food and drink along the way. I’m seriously debating packing my bags whilst typing this!
Please always make reservations and confirm your destinations are open for business during Covid-19.
