Classic Resort in Palm Desert

FOR YOUR PLAYFUL ESCAPE

Whether you’re in search of solitude or celebration, our boutique resort in Palm Desert is a lovingly renovated mid-century retreat. Social spaces for fireside conversations and sipping drinks under starry skies invite guests to reconnect with each other and themselves. Explore, restore, and set your watch to desert time at Mojave.

HOW WE GOT HERE

In the late 1950s, Marilyn starred in Some Like It Hot, Jimi Hendrix played his very first gig, and the Galla Villa Motel opened its doors. JFK would soon become president but somehow, at the desert’s doorstep, time stood still. The Galla Villa Motel was the epitome of mid-century design—a sanctuary for the stars and a precursor of our boutique oasis.
