Sands Hotel & Spa

Pretend to be a sanctuary-seeking Sixties ingenue at retro-chic Sands Hotel & Spa, in Indian Wells. Thanks to Brit-hit designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, this charming desert escape is blessed with with bright prints, exotic tiles, pink stucco walls, greenery galore, cacti and fire pits, and a perfect pool with humbug-striped cabanas.
