The Vibe: It’s not just a mirage: the cool colors, elegant angles, and understated glam of this Palm Springs palace might just transport you back a century or so. Tones of sapphire sparkle in the luxe lap pool, while tangerine tiles jazz up the outdoor shower. Between retro rugs and fab fireplaces, open-concept architecture accentuates the fluidity between decor and desert.

The Scoop: Thank you, floor-to-ceiling glass! Natural light everywhere adds allure to tasteful color pops peppered throughout the space. They might technically be in the background, but the craggy, clay-colored peaks visible from every part of the property steal the show. Lush green gardens outside offer a stunning sensory counterpoint to the dry heat and sublime sunlight.

The Details: Secluded and private meet open and inviting in this getaway gem. The most prominent neighbors are jutting mountains in the backyard. A fast flight or rapid roadtrip from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, this dapper desert domicile is enticingly accessible.
