    Two Bunch Palms

    67425 TWO BUNCH PALMS TRAIL
    DESERT HOT SPRINGS

    A bit removed from most Coachella Valley attractions, this 77-acre, wellness-inspired, adults-only retreat is known for being an exclusive haven. Legend has it the place served as a hideaway for Al Capone in the 1920s, but today, you’re more likely to find a bevy of A-listers on the premises. With upscale amenities like prime spa services, a stellar vegetable-forward eatery, a gym, two healing mineral pools, a lap pool, a grotto, a yoga dome, a lagoon and a multitude of tranquil tucked-away corners, Two Bunch Palms offers a desert experience like no other.

    Haven For Pets

    66330 DILLON ROAD
    DESERT HOT SPRINGS

    Established by Charles Stewart in 1964, this 2.5-acre parcel located on a dusty stretch of isolated road is the only official pet cemetery in Riverside County. Originally part of the popular Dogtown grooming/boarding facility, the site has somewhat of an abandoned feel today, populated by overgrown foliage and fading headstones. It, nevertheless, remains the final resting place of more than 2,000 of the Valley’s most beloved pets, including the furry friends of such luminaries as Michael Landon, Jimmy Van Heusen, and Fred Williamson. Liberace buried six of his dogs onsite and President Gerald Ford laid First Pets Liberty and Misty to rest on the premises.

    Cabot’s Pueblo Museum

    67616 DESERT VIEW AVENUE
    DESERT HOT SPRINGS

    World traveler Cabot Yerxa built this spot as a private residence/public museum beginning in 1941. Fashioned entirely by Cabot’s own hand from reclaimed materials, the Hopi-inspired pueblo is one of the most unique destinations in the area, complete with 150 windows, 65 doors, 30 rooflines and views for days. The surrounding property is even more intriguing, dotted with whimsical installations like a 43-foot Native American bust, towering wood letters spelling out “CABOT,” and street signs half covered by brush. Though not abandoned, the museum boasts a fabulous dystopian feel, affording endless photo opportunities.
