Offers, News and Events

Tucked away in one of Palm Springs’ most celebrated modernist neighborhoods, the historic Twin Palms Resort has been given new life as a quintessential getaway destination for discerning gay men.

This completely reimagined desert retreat beautifully balances the striking natural environment surrounding the property with the iconic architecture this Palm Springs neighborhood is famous for. Even the shape of the resort’s centerpiece, a stunning new swimming pool, mirrors the rooflines of the mid-century modern homes nearby. And of course, swimsuits are always optional.

Imagine yourself here, the sun kissing your skin, the warm spa water easing your aches away, the San Jacinto mountains guarding your private sanctuary and sending you directly into relax mode. We’re saving a chaise lounge for you under a big, yellow umbrella.  Come join us!
