Palm Springs Greatest Hits Jaunt
A 3-Day, Jaunt-approved desert getaway at your fingertips.
The elevator pitch: Whether you are looking for a girls getaway, a solo jaunt, a couples retreat or some good ol’ family time, Palm Springs has a thing or two for everyone. From poolside lounging to spa getaways and delicious eats, the vibrancy and warmth of the city will keep you coming back for more!
When to go: The weather is best in the beginning of the year from January to April but anytime really if you're down for poolside lounging on a sunny day in the summer. Be warned, temps can hit over 100 degrees!
Where to stay: Boutique hotels are the way to go. With such unique architecture and delicious food you really can’t go wrong. A few of our favorites are Parker Palm Springs, Korakai Pensione, The Marley, The Amado and Dive Palm Springs… the list goes on and on!
How to get around: Downtown Palm Springs can easily be explored on foot. We like Uber because it’s quick and reliable and if you plan to stay for more than a Jaunt, a rental car might be in your best interest!
Other stuff: There’s tons of hiking around Palm Springs and Joshua Tree. If you are looking for a more adventurous getaway, you don’t want to miss the stunning sunsets in the park, which is the best time to visit for a quick drive through. You won’t be disappointed.
