Palm Desert is a sunny, upscale desert hub with world-class golf, resort pools, excellent dining and shopping along El Paseo, abundant hiking in the nearby Santa Rosa Mountains, and a relaxed, walkable vibe that makes multi-week stays enjoyable and easy to settle into.
It’s a short drive to Palm Springs for arts, the aerial tram and nightlife and to Indio for large events like Coachella, with Joshua Tree and scenic mountain trails nearby — great for therapists who want varied outdoor and cultural downtime between shifts.
