Half the fun of a girls’ getaway is that it’s the grown-up version of a sleepover. Rent out any of these private estates for a long weekend of hanging out poolside, exploring the local digs and drinking wine with your girls. We’ve got party pads in the South of France, mansions in West Hollywood, Spanish casitas, Moroccan palaces, and quaint farm getaways Stateside. All you need to add is your gaggle of gals.   Reporter: Alyssa Brown | Location: The Palmwood

Festival season is upon us in Southern California! With Coachella (April 14 – 23) and Stagecoach (April 28 – 30), desert life gets kicked up a notch—and it was already a blast to begin with. But this year, instead of camping/baking without air conditioning and living off supremely overpriced festival snacks, transform your festivities into a whole new experience. Rent a quaint villa or reserve a hip hotel room and treat your stomach and liver to all that Palm Springs has to offer. There’s a cool place to stay for every traveler’s style and budget. You just better score your perfect festival headquarters before someone else does. By: Jake Kilroy | Venue: The West Elm House

While it’s certainly admirable to carry a life philosophy of “Go Big or Go Home,” that doesn’t always have to be the case, especially if you’re looking to unknot your muscles, loosen your nerves, and relax your soul. Every road trip doesn’t have to be a gunning blast across the country and the desert’s beauty can be as impressive as forests or cities. Watching sunsets sink into the sandy and stony hills of the desert plains is an other-worldly experience. Now, if you’re aiming to do just that in Southern California, there’s one place every local can agree on, whether they’re a musician or a rock climber: Joshua Tree. Yes, the landscape is rugged and the sky seems to trek on forever, but dotted throughout the wilderness are getaways and venues that’ll have you considering an indefinite life in the wild. If you’re road tripping through Joshua Tree, we’ve got the places you need to see. By: Jake Kilroy
