Sunshine & a sweater.
Enjoy a leisurely afternoon in the sunshine, then add a layer as the valley lights begin to glow. Direct sun often feels warmer than the air temperature suggests.
Local climate averages, not a live forecast. Based on Oregon State University’s PRISM 1991–2020 data for the estate area at 800-meter resolution. These describe the nearby terrain, rather than an on-site weather station. Individual days vary.

More than a number
Find your
place in the sun.
Some days call for a sunny terrace. Others, a little shade by the pool. That choice is part of the pleasure of being here.
South Palm Desert, from above.
The estate sits in the hills above South Palm Desert, at approximately 3,000 feet. Its weather has its own character: city forecasts on the valley floor and forecasts for Mountain Center village describe different settings.
A little room to choose.
Open terraces feel the breeze more than sheltered spots. Wind varies with the weather, and gusty days do happen; elevation alone doesn’t mean constant wind. Check the hourly forecast as your stay approaches.
