How to Spend a Perfect 48 Hours in Palm Springs

Welcome to the VERANDA Weekend Guides where we show you how to make the most of 48 hours in one of our favorite destinations. This time, we are headed to Palm Springs (come with us next fall!) to enjoy the organic splendor of Southern California and all the fantastic architecture this mid-century modernist destination has to offer. Plus, there are plenty of delicious eats and unique wellness experiences to enjoy along the way in the Coachella Valley.

Palm Springs is famous for its mid-century glamour that will leave you with visions of the era’s most beloved Hollywood starlets winding through the streets in convertibles and leggy models posing for photos at the city’s most popular homes for Slim Aarons. This weekend highlights all that decades-old charm, plus, all the incredible talent hiding in this idyllic resort town, from horticulturalists to artisans and chefs. Just two nights here will have you jonesing to plan your next trip back.
