Welcome to Palm Desert

 
Nestled in the heart of the Coachella Valley, this family-friendly city, incorporated in 1973, delivers a healthy balance of natural beauty and creativity. It is home to numerous art galleries, a landmark theater, luxury shopping, championship golf, and some of the best hiking this desert oasis has to offer.
 
Of course, it took a visionary to transform the raw landscape into the cultural and retail hub that the city is today. Back in 1946, the central location and pristine landscape inspired magazine publisher Randall Henderson and his brother Cliff to transform the area into a resort destination, ultimately attracting such Hollywood A-listers as Jimmy Stewart and Bing Crosby and stimulating rapid development midvalley.
 
Today, whether you’re exploring The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens or strolling the El Paseo Shopping District, Palm Desert is all about moving with the calm rhythm of the desert and discovering exciting new sources of inspiration in the Coachella Valley.
