An afternoon of indulgence is best spent outdoors. At the exclusive Thermal Club, a private motorsports facility, members come to play with their favorite toys: Ferraris, Porsches and Lamborghinis being just a few of the supercars you’ll see hitting triple-digit speeds here.
Even if you left your own McLaren back home, you can still experience these exclusive racetracks. Simply sign up for a class at the BMW Performance Center West Driving School, located at The Thermal Club. With an M Series BMW at your fingertips, you’ll perfect the art of drifting, cornering and downshifting like a pro.
Or set your sights on the polo greens in the winter and spring, when ponies and riders race across the fields during these thrilling matches.
ON THE COURT WITH THE TOP NAMES IN TENNIS
Settle into your luxury suite to witness the most elite names in the world of tennis face off each year at the Indian Well Tennis Garden during the BNP Paribas Open. Alternate between air conditioned living room seating with private amenities and your own court-side patio seat for cheering on your favorites, from Alcaraz to Gauff. And, you won’t miss any of the action when you break to indulge in world-acclaimed fusion cuisine at Nobu or a fine steak and wine at The Chop House—both served at your reserved window seat overlooking the matches.
PRESTIGIOUS COURSES ALONGSIDE THE PROS
When you aren’t teeing off on one of Greater Palm Springs’ 100-plus golf courses designed by golf legends, watch some of today’s top players compete against the destination's stunning mountain backdrop. Each January, The American Express tournament brings PGA Tour action to Greater Palm Springs, followed by rising stars in women's professional golf during the Epson Tour Championship in October. Both tournaments offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play alongside pros in their respective Pro-Am Tournaments.
A BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE MUSIC
With year-round sunshine and some of Southern California’s most inviting resort pools, spending the day poolside is an experience all its own in Greater Palm Springs. Settle into a private cabana, take in the mountain views, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon without ever leaving the resort.
For an elevated pool day, luxury hotels and resorts throughout the destination offer private cabanas with dedicated service and thoughtful amenities. Depending on the property, that might mean plush daybeds, refreshments and fruit platters, fans and misters, flat-screen TVs, or even space for a massage.
