Greater Palm Springs is known for many things, particularly sublime views, unforgettable experiences unique to the desert, and unforgettable rejuvenation. Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas captures all of that—and more—in its tranquil paradise, offering remarkable accommodations, complete with outdoor recreation, luxury wellness services, and inspired culinary wonders. The destination is truly an immersive experience and most people don’t leave the resort because there’s simply so much to do—and not “do”—here and its truly exceptional poolside experiences—bring the kids? Here are seven reasons why you need to plan a trip to the Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Spa.
Top-notch Accommodations
To be sure, modern-day travelers crave exceptional accommodations. Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas delivers on that front in many ways. You'll appreciate fine touches, such as plush robes you can simply live in all day while enjoying extraordinary desert views, particularly sunsets when the desert sky is filled with deep blue, powder orange, and violet hues. Most rooms here, however, go the extra mile with unique spa-inspired marble baths, Balmain bath toiletries, and plush bed pillows and linens. Overall, the rooms themselves are spacious and if you’re traveling with family, there’s nothing like nabbing a suite or villa – which have their own private backyard terraces. Another nice touch is room balconies, which overlook the lush grounds and stunning mountainscapes.
If you're looking for a stay with a touch of iconic midcentury decor, book the villas. The room offers vibrant and modern Greater Palm Springs furnishings with panoramic views of the lazy river and lagoon. Rooms also come with 65-inch flat-screen TVs, a spacious minifridge, and even an in-room laptop-size safe. It’s your luxury home away from your home.
Agua Serena Spa
Greater Palm Springs has many resorts, and many spas, for that matter. All of them boast noteworthy services and surely Agua Serena Spa rises toward the top of the list. You’re stepping into ultimate wellness here, so it’s your time to rejuvenate. The spa offers a large variety of services for both individuals and couples.
Several that piqued interest include the Desert Hot Stone Massage (50 or 80 minutes), which is a unique relaxation massage with hot stones designed to melt away muscle tension. Stone placement on specific parts of the body can ease and alleviate stress.
The CBD Massage is therapeutic. Whether you’re an athlete or not, this massage will have your muscles feeling relaxed. Note: There’s zero THC in this massage.
The Mother-to-be Massage and Couples Massage also stand out, as do the myriad service enhancements you can add to treatments, such as aromatherapy and hand and foot salt exfoliation, among others.
If you get the Couples Connection Package—an 80-minute experience of pure bliss—you’ll find yourself in a 30-minute Agua Serena Soak for two followed by a 50-minute Couples massage. Sublime. Note: The Agua Serena Spa with an outdoor patio and reflection pool is top-notch. And the Agua Serena Spa and Fitness Center features private movement and wellness sessions. Unforgettable.
Pools, Pools, Pools
Water options abound on the property. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find other resorts that offer as much as Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas does. There are nine temperature-controlled pools, including one for adults only. And surely the kids—and even adults—will appreciate the site’s relatively new water park with its inventive splash pad, lazy river, and dueling water slides. That’s right—two slides. Kudos to the resort for offering something for everybody here—from “Hey, let’s just chill” to “how about a real water adventure.” Inspired planning any way you spin it.

There’s also the John Fought's Player course with its incredible bunkering. The day will be full all around.
