Find Your Oasis in Palm Springs
For nearly a century, Palm Springs has been a glamorous vacation hideaway for those seeking sun, serenity, and a sense of belonging. Today, that welcoming tradition continues and Palm Springs has evolved into a year-round hub of LGBTQ+ culture with an abundance of gay-focused bars, dance clubs, retail businesses, hotels, and resorts.
If you like to stay at places that are stylish, relaxing, and friendly, why not check yourself into one of the city’s three best gay resorts? Yes, we’re talking about Descanso, Twin Palms, and Santiago. Gay-owned and operated, these award-winning resorts for men all feature upscale amenities and lots of extras—like complimentary continental breakfast and lunch, and multi-speed bicycles for touring the town.
