Venue Settings
Our fully enclosed petite resort is the perfect setting for a company offsite retreat, a multi-generational family gathering, an exclusive brand launch, or a destination wedding. Our historic courtyard and lobby spaces can host indoor and outdoor events for up to 200 guests. With 29 villas and suites of various sizes, we can accommodate intimate gatherings, private dinners, spa treatment rooms, or gifting suites. Framed by the stunning San Jacinto Mountains, your event will be both picturesque and unforgettable. Between activities, your guests can relax and unwind in our serene desert oasis.
A hideaway of historic Mediterranean- and Moroccan-style villas and suites, Korakia blends the silhouette of Tangier with the soul of a European pensione. Begin the day with a nourishing breakfast in the Moroccan courtyard. Soothe your soul poolside, seek healing through yoga, or pamper yourself with our spa offerings. Relax by one of our pools with a specialty cocktail or refreshing mocktail from the bars at our two pools. Join a game of bocce ball or explore downtown Palm Springs on one of our bicycles. Relax and refresh with the Moroccan tea service each afternoon. Lanterns and firepits flicker, illuminating the heated pools at night. Classic and foreign films glimmer on a nearby screen. A fire pit blazes by our waterfall, perfect for a tranquil nightcap. A Moroccan daybed beckons for stargazing.

- Renew your soul in our individually designed rooms that, like you, have a name—not a number. One-of-a-kind vintage pieces, custom furniture and thoughtful touches let you know we care about your stay in Palm Springs. Our historic villas feel like a place from another time (we keep technology out of sight to honor our setting), but we haven’t held back on great Wi-Fi. You can also select albums from our library of vintage vinyl to play on the turntable in your room. Choose from 16 Mediterranean and 13 Moroccan villas and homes, each distinctive in character, with features like high wood beam ceilings, private patios with striking views of the San Jacinto Mountains, or even a suite with a full kitchen, stone bathtub, and wood-burning fireplace at the center of J. Carol Naish’s own 1930s villa.
