The Marriott Desert Spring Villas are located in spectacular Palm Desert, California, just 13 miles from the Palm Springs Airport. Towering mountains and blue skies combined with the near perfect climate keep visitors coming back to this picturesque area of southern California. Ringed by three mountain ranges, Palm Desert is sheltered from coastal air pollution and enjoys around 350 days of sunshine each year. Some of the world's finest golf courses and spas call this area home. Roughly twenty miles away, the Joshua Tree National Park and Wilderness area provides visitors with an opportunity to experience a very unique high desert, the only place in the world where Joshua Trees grow naturally.

Located on 400 meticulously manicured acres, the Desert Spring Villas enjoy all the amenities offered by the neighboring Desert Springs Resort and Spa. A complimentary shuttle transports guests between the two resorts. Two 18 hole championship golf courses, 19 tennis courts and multiple pools and jetted tubs are located about the resort. Flower lined walkways, shimmering lakes and fountains dot the property. The resort staff provides concierge and child care services. Fitness equipment is available and there is a clubhouse onsite. Laundry facilities are also provided.

The one and two bedroom accommodations offer kitchens with refrigerators, microwave ovens and coffeemakers. Each unit comes equipped with cable television and DVD/VCRs. In room safes are provided.

The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway climbs 5,900 to the upper slopes of Mount San Jacinto in 14 minutes, allowing for fantastic views of the Coachella Valley. Temperatures are typically 40 degrees cooler than the desert floor, and winter brings with it a snowy wonderland perfect for cross country skiing and sledding.
