Only a short two hour drive from Los Angeles, holidays in Palm Springs offer you the chance to experience dramatic & stunning desert scenery without leaving city comforts behind. With a warm and dry climate 350 days a year, it's a perfect relaxing year-round destination to escape from the hustle and bustle of LA.

Located in the Coachella Valley at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains, Palm Springs truly is a virtual oasis, sheltered on three sides by mountain ranges and bordered to the east by the great Colorado-Sonoran Desert.

Here you'll find designer shopping, 116 golf courses, top class shows, a wide choice of eateries (we love the Mexican food here) and world class hotels all set against an amazing backdrop. If you can plan your visit to Palm Springs between May-September, you can take advantage of low prices in the 4/5 star hotels. The American don't like the hot sun as much as the Brits and tend to avoid this period, hence better prices!
