The Ultimate Romantic Getaway

The Ultimate Romantic Getaway in Palm Springs: A Couples Guide

There is something naturally romantic about Palm Springs.
Maybe it is the warm desert evenings, the San Jacinto Mountains rising dramatically behind rows of palm trees, or the feeling that life moves just a little slower once you arrive.
For decades, Palm Springs has been a place to escape, reconnect and celebrate. Today, couples come for romantic weekends, anniversaries, honeymoons, birthdays—or simply for a few uninterrupted days together.
And while Palm Springs offers plenty to see and do, the secret to a memorable couples getaway is not trying to do everything. It is giving yourself permission to slow down.

Choose a Small, Intimate Place to Stay

Your hotel can completely change the character of your Palm Springs getaway. Large resorts offer plenty of amenities, but couples looking for privacy and tranquility may prefer one of Palm Springs' intimate boutique hotels.
With fewer guests, smaller properties can feel less like conventional hotels and more like private desert hideaways. That philosophy is at the heart of El Noa Noa.
With only seven suites, El Noa Noa was created around intimacy, relaxation and couples looking for an escape from everyday life. Spend the afternoon beside the pool, relax together in the hot tub or retreat to your private patio. For an extra-romantic stay, select suites offer indoor bubble baths, while our Honeymoon Suite features its own private outdoor waterfall spa.
There are no crowded resort hallways or hundreds of rooms.
Just seven suites and your own little corner of Palm Springs.

Start Your Morning Slowly

One of the pleasures of a Palm Springs getaway is realizing that you don't need to rush anywhere.
Enjoy breakfast between 8 AM and 11 AM , sip your morning coffee and allow yourself some time by the pool before deciding what the rest of the day will bring.
Some mornings are meant for adventure.
Others are meant for doing absolutely nothing.
Palm Springs is good at both.

Explore the Desert Together

When you are ready to leave the pool, Palm Springs offers plenty of experiences for two.
Take the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway into the mountains for dramatically different views of the Coachella Valley.
Explore the area's distinctive architecture and colorful neighborhoods.
Spend a few hours walking through downtown Palm Springs, browsing independent stores, galleries and restaurants.
For couples who love nature, the desert landscape surrounding Palm Springs offers beautiful hiking opportunities and an entirely different side of Southern California.
And when the desert heat rises?
That is your invitation to return to the pool.

Make Wellness Part of Your Getaway

Romance doesn't always require champagne and candlelight.
Sometimes the greatest luxury is simply having nowhere else you need to be.
Palm Springs has developed a strong wellness culture centered around spas, relaxation and the restorative character of the desert. At El Noa Noa, guests can take the experience further with Ayurveda-inspired massage and wellness treatments at Pura Vida Ayurveda Wellness & Spa.
Ayurveda is an ancient wellness tradition originating in India that emphasizes balance and an individualized approach to wellbeing.
Adding a massage or wellness treatment to your Palm Springs stay can transform an ordinary weekend away into a genuine reset.

Enjoy Happy Hour Before Your Evening Out

Late afternoon may be one of the most beautiful times of day in Palm Springs.
The temperature begins to change, shadows stretch across the mountains and the desert takes on a completely different character.
At El Noa Noa, Happy Hour runs from 4 PM to 6 PM, making it an easy transition from a relaxed afternoon by the pool to your evening plans.
Have a drink together, unwind and decide where the night will take you.

Plan a Romantic Dinner

Palm Springs has an impressive restaurant scene ranging from casual neighborhood favorites to sophisticated date-night restaurants.
Instead of filling your weekend with reservations, choose one memorable dinner and leave some room for spontaneity.
A romantic weekend shouldn't feel like an itinerary you need to complete.

Celebrate Something—or Nothing at All

Palm Springs is perfect for anniversaries and honeymoons, but you don't need a special occasion to plan a romantic escape. Sometimes getting away together is the occasion.
At El Noa Noa, we welcome couples looking to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons and other special moments.
Celebration enhancements can also be arranged to make your arrival feel even more special.
