A hub for midcentury modern architecture and design, Palm Springs effortlessly blends retro charm with modern luxury, making any stay an irresistible blend of relaxation and indulgence. Throw in a few noteworthy attractions, ultra-cool hangouts, and some old Hollywood glamour, and you’ve just whipped up the perfect winter escape!

Whether chasing sunsets or just sipping cocktails by the pool, Palm Springs knows how to keep the good times rolling. If you missed your summer pass, why not give it a go this winter? There’s no doubt the party’s here, sizzling with festive occasions hotter than the desert sun, and here are a few of our favorite Palm Springs winter events!

Although the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, a scenic tour through Joshua Tree National Park, or a trip to the Air Museum might be the main attraction during your trip to Palm Springs any other time of year, the highlight of any October visit, without question, is Palm Springs Modernism Week.

A celebration of epic proportions, Palm Springs Modernism Week highlights the enduring popularity of mid-century modern architecture. The design aesthetic, characterized by simplicity, form, and functionality, remains as popular today as it was when A-listers like Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe coveted these urban masterpieces in the Palm Springs desert oasis. Incorporating fresh perspectives and materials and crafted with a minimalist approach by visionary architects of the era, each home embodied the essence of contemporary living. 

Is it an island? Is it a sandbar? Is it one of the most iconic Destin experiences you can have? To truly understand Crab Island, you have to see it for yourself. And seeing it for yourself is unforgettable.

Initially a tiny island south of Choctawhatchee Bay, this popular sand bar has since become one of the hottest summertime attractions in Destin. On any given day, hundreds of boaters will drop anchor in these shallow waters and wade and play the day away. There are water volleyball courts, floating restaurants, food vendors, and dozens of water-based games and activities.

To imagine Florida’s Scenic Highway 30A without bicycles is to imagine the Gulf Coast without an ocean. It’s impossible. See, biking on 30A isn’t just a convenient way to get around (though it certainly is that!). It’s a way of life, a raison d’être, a two-wheeled type of gospel. Bike paths are king, beach cruisers queen, bike rental shops are ace, and cars are for jokers (jk!).

In short, Scenic Highway 30A is a bicyclist’s paradise with plenty of condos and homes in the area with bikes included in the package. Stretching 26 miles along the Gulf Coast, here’s a primer on what to know, where to go (as well as where to rent), and how to roll up on some good ol’ times while biking on 30A. 

With 30 miles of coastline overlooking the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and bays, bayous, and state parks dotting the northern stretches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, watching the sunrise any time of year is an essential vacation activity.
