Cahuilla Hills

Cahuilla Hills delivers mountain views and desert luxury without the tourist hustle.

Your days might include morning strolls through carefully manicured desert landscapes or adventures to the nearby Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument. Luxurious vacation rentals with private pools dominate the accommodation scene, offering your own desert oasis. A rental car is essential for exploring Palm Desert's dining and shopping options along El Paseo or Highway 111, just a short drive away.

El Paseo Village brings the glitz of Rodeo Drive to Palm Desert with designer boutiques and world-class art galleries lining palm-shaded walkways. Fashionistas browse luxury shops like Gucci while art lovers discover new treasures in upscale galleries. The Mediterranean-inspired architecture creates the perfect backdrop for seasonal events like Fashion Week, and beautiful sculpture gardens offer artistic surprises around every corner. Fine dining restaurants and wine bars serve up California cuisine with mountain views from elegant patios. Though there's limited public transit, the wide walkways make strolling between shops a pleasure, and free parking makes visits stress-free. Golf cart rentals provide a fun way to explore this desert oasis of luxury.

Bighorn

The Gardens on El Paseo offers high-end retail therapy and peaceful spots to rest between shopping adventures. Dining options range from California cuisine to sophisticated steakhouses with desert-inspired presentations.
