Easy Air Access
Getting to Greater Palm Springs is as seamless as the experience that awaits you. Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) offers more air access than ever — including new nonstop seasonal destinations Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) — and convenient one-stop connections from 500+ destinations worldwide. Named one of the Top 10 Most Stress-Free Airports in America, PSP sets a relaxed tone with open-air terminals, new locally inspired dining, and fewer crowds.
What’s New
From reimagined resorts to must-visit attractions, the destination is always evolving. The highly anticipated Thompson Palm Springs is now open, with 168 luxury guest rooms, a signature restaurant, an on-site Napa Valley tasting room, and two outdoor pools with stunning mountain views. Nearby, the Riviera Resort and Spa (formerly Margaritaville Resort) returns to its roots with a phased renovation expected to reach completion by mid-2026. At the Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas, a $64 million renovation has refreshed guest rooms and meeting spaces, as well as introduced two brand-new dining concepts (including celebrity chef–helmed restaurant Tia Carmen). And the historic La Quinta Resort & Club approaches its centennial year with a stunning renovation wrapping up this year.
For unique offsite experiences, consider booking private event space at the new Palm Springs Surf Club, where attendees can hang 10 in the state-of-the-art wave pool. Or immerse your group in the region’s Native American heritage at the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, which celebrates the Agua Caliente tribe’s history and culture.
Inspiring Outdoor Meeting Spaces
With 300+ days of sunshine, Greater Palm Springs is made for open-air meetings. The Palm Springs Convention Center sets the bar high with its 20,000-square-foot event lawn where attendees can gather against a dramatic mountain backdrop. Groups can also meet among native desert flora and enjoy wildlife encounters at The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens, ideal for receptions and private events. Resort properties throughout the destination also deliver exceptional outdoor venues, from lakeside lawns at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa to lush citrus groves at Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa. Whether it’s an al fresco dinner, a networking event under the stars, or a team retreat surrounded by nature, Greater Palm Springs ensures every meeting is not only memorable but meaningful.
