There is something about the desert that encourages us to slow down. Maybe it is the expansive landscape, the quiet of the mountains, or the restorative power of its mineral-rich waters. Whatever the reason, Greater Palm Springs has long been a destination for wellness, and September offers another invitation to indulge in its vast wellness offerings.
From September 1–30, Greater Palm Springs Spa Month brings together the region’s celebrated spas and wellness destinations with special treatments, packages, experiences, and pricing for both visitors and locals.
The offerings range from restorative massages, mineral-water therapies, and advanced skincare to holistic treatments and full-service resort spas. Among the highlights are a floating sound bath with guided stargazing at The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage; day passes at renowned properties such as The Spa at Two Bunch Palms, The Spa at Séc-he, and Sunstone Spa; and specialized wellness treatments, including IV therapy and microneedling, at Avant Longevity Spa.
Yet the appeal of Spa Month goes beyond a day of pampering. In a culture that often celebrates doing more, taking time to rest can be its own form of luxury. A facial, a massage, a yoga class, or a quiet afternoon by a mineral pool can become a small but meaningful reminder to listen to the body and create space for restoration.
This September, Greater Palm Springs makes it easier to do just that.
