Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa  

In Indian Wells, California—set across 11 acres of olive trees and fragrant citrus groves with sweeping Santa Rosa Mountain views. A short drive from Indian Wells Tennis Garden and Living Desert Zoo, this desert-meets-tropical resort vibe puts you close to golf and major valley attractions.

Choose from 215 guestrooms and reimagined suites styled in a tropical-meets-desert aesthetic. Rooms feature private bathrooms, in-room refrigerators, iPod docking stations, laptop-compatible safes and designer toiletries for simple, polished comfort.

An award-winning spa offers massages, body treatments and facials while two outdoor pools, a poolside bar, sauna, steam room, 24-hour fitness center and a yoga area keep you moving or mellow. Family-friendly and pet-friendly options are available (fees may apply). Pick up snacks at the café, book local tours at the desk, and breathe in citrus-scented mornings and mountain air.

Big on business: 35,004 sq ft of conference and meeting space, meeting/banquet facilities, and property-wide wireless internet make this a strong spot for events and conferences. Express check-out and on-site business services add convenience.

Dine on Californian-inspired menus at the on-site restaurant with garden-view alfresco seating, or grab a snack at the resort café. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily (fee), limited room service is available, and the poolside bar pours cocktails and small bites.
