JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa

- Luxury resort in Palm Springs
- Multiple on-site dining options
- Resort pools & on-site spa
Rooms are spacious and comfortable, each with a private balcony overlooking the mountains, pools, or winding waterways. The design is clean and thoughtful, with all the little touches that make a stay feel easy and unhurried.
There’s plenty to do if you’re in the mood. The golf courses are a highlight, and the tennis and pickleball courts are just as impressive.

For wide open views of the desert, space and comfort, you’ll love your stay at JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa. Each room and suite has its own personality, depending on how much room (and indulgence) you’re after.

- Size : 390ft2
Enjoy a spacious and welcoming retreat in the 1 King Balcony Room, offering 390 square feet of comfort. Designed with couples in mind, it features a plush king bed and can accommodate up to three guests. Step onto your private balcony to take in sweeping views of the resort grounds or the surrounding mountains. Inside, hardwood floors, modern furnishings, and calming desert-inspired decor create a relaxed, restful atmosphere.

- Size : 390ft2
Ideal for families travelling together, the 2 Queen Balcony Room comfortably sleeps up to four guests with two plush queen beds. Like the king room, it offers 390 square feet of space. The private balcony offers scenic views of the desert landscape or the resort’s lakes, while inside the room offers style and practicality. Soft, mountain-inspired tones, cosy bedding, and a spacious marble-tiled bathroom with modern amenities make it easy to settle in and relax.

- Size : 540ft2
The Griffin Suite strikes an easy balance between comfort and a bit of polish. At 540 square feet, it features a king bed and a sofa bed, making it suitable for up to four guests. The private balcony looks out over the resort, and the lounge area, which gives you a spot to sit back without feeling confined to the bed. The bathroom has a slightly spa-like feel, with quality toiletries and a clean, modern aesthetic.

- Size : 790ft2
At roughly 790 square feet, the Signature Suite offers noticeably more space and a more elevated feel. A separate bedroom and living area give you room to spread out. The balcony offers some of the best lake views on the property, while inside the suite focuses on comfort and thoughtful touches.

- Size : 588ft2
More compact at 588 square feet, the One Bedroom Executive Suite focuses on practicality without losing its sense of style. It includes a king bed plus a sofa bed, making it flexible for up to three guests. There’s a small dining area, a sitting space, and a balcony overlooking the pool and grounds. Extras like bathrobes, blackout curtains, and champagne service add a bit of flair.
JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa is located at 74-855 Country Club Drive in Palm Desert, California, in the heart of the Coachella Valley near Palm Springs. Its convenient location makes it easily accessible from Palm Springs International Airport, just a short drive away, and within reach of Los Angeles and San Diego via Interstate 10. Guests enjoy proximity to renowned attractions such as the El Paseo Shopping District, Joshua Tree National Park, and major events like the Coachella Music Festival and BNP Paribas Open.

Grab your go-to coffee or a quick bite when you need something familiar. It’s convenient, especially for early mornings or a midday reset.

Unwind by one of the resort’s sparkling outdoor pools, whether you’re after a livelier, family-friendly setting or something a bit quieter. Surrounded by greenery and mountain views, it’s an easy place to spend a few hours swimming, lounging, or just cooling off.

Recharge with a treatment at the full-service spa, where massages, facials, and body therapies are designed to help you reset. The Wellness Lounge adds another layer of calm, making it easy to slow down and switch off for a while.

Play across two championship golf courses set against palm trees and mountain backdrops. The courses cater to a range of skill levels, and there’s also a miniature golf option if you’re looking for something more relaxed and family-friendly.

Have fun in the JW Entertainment Zone, where arcade games and interactive activities keep younger guests busy. It’s a lively space that adds a bit of energy to the resort’s more laid-back pace.

Drift along the resort’s waterways on a gondola-style boat ride. It’s a simple but memorable way to see the property, and even arrive at dinner by boat, which adds a nice touch.

Lounge in a shaded daybed or cabana for a more private poolside setup. With comfortable seating and attentive service, it’s an easy upgrade if you want a quieter, more tucked-away spot to relax.

Stay active on the tennis and pickleball courts, which are well-kept and easy to access. Whether you’re playing casually or a bit more competitively, it’s all set up to jump right in.
