Stay in spacious Palm Desert vacation rentals that offer swimming pools, views of the desert, and relaxing outdoor areas.
Getting to the alluring city of Palm Desert
While renting a car is the best option to reach Palm Desert, you also can take a flight to the nearest airport – Palm Springs International Airport. From there, it is a short picturesque drive to Palm Desert. The airport is served by major airlines, including Alaska and American.
Renting a car to reach your Palm Desert vacation home is a good idea. The city is located just off 1-10, about 15 miles east of Palm Springs. It takes about two hours’ drive from San Diego and Los Angeles, and around four hours from Las Vegas, but the panoramic desert landscape makes it worthwhile.
Art in public places and Palm Springs Art Museum
There are over 150 artworks placed around the city of Palm Desert. The city's innovative public art program makes this a beautiful art-filled place to explore. You can take a guided tour of some of the best sculptures and murals or you can download a map and take a walking tour on your own.
Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert has four exhibition spaces for rotating exhibits, one gallery of permanent exhibits, and a lush desert oasis garden that is filled with water features and sculptures.
