The 13 Best Resorts in Palm Springs

An array of complimentary weekend programming is available including group fitness, sound baths, and meditation. For those seeking a more immersive experience, comprehensive wellness journeys and quarterly retreats with notable visiting practitioners will soon be available for total rejuvenation.

The Founding Team at Terra Palm Springs is comprised of Soli Cayetano, Creative Director; Josh Dobken, Director of Operations; Diana Ossa, Architect and Designer; and Carrick Young, Chief Financial Officer.  We chatted with Cayetano who shared more information about the spa’s amenities, treatments to try, and more.

With 13 rooms, the hotel offers an intimate sanctuary for rest and relaxation including spa suites with soaking tubs.

Why You’ll Love It: Our guests are consistently drawn to the novelty of our Ayurvedic spa experiences, where they discover healing modalities that feel both ancient and revolutionary. We introduce them to transformative treatments enhanced by therapeutic oils and time-honored techniques—from rhythmic full-body massages to unique energy work.

What makes this especially rewarding is watching guests embrace these new dimensions of wellness, often incorporating elements of what they discover here into their daily self-care practices back home.

Suites also have showers and plush organic robes that treat guests to ultimate relaxation.

Key Features: Our spa treatment room connects seamlessly to our therapeutic wellness facilities, including a detoxifying Himalayan salt sauna, invigorating cold plunge pool, and our unique immersive rain room. These amenities are available to guests 24/7 throughout their stay, no appointment needed.

The rain room offers a meditative experience, enveloping visitors in soothing thunderstorm sounds. These complementary spaces allow guests to extend their wellness journey well beyond their scheduled spa treatments, creating opportunities for continued relaxation and renewal at their own pace.

The hotel’s shared wellness amenities include a Himalayan salt sauna for detoxification.

Insider Tip: While our spa treatments are transformative on their own, what many don't realize is that our therapeutic wellness facilities—including our Himalayan salt sauna, cold plunge pool, and immersive rain room—are available 24/7 throughout their stay. This means you can create your own wellness ritual anytime, extending the benefits of your spa experience well beyond your scheduled treatment.

Terra Palm Springs aims to provide ultimate revitalization for guests in the heart of downtown Palm Springs.

Bonus: Before each Ayurvedic treatment, we conduct a personalized dosha assessment to identify any imbalances in the body. Our skilled therapists then guide guests through specific oil recommendations tailored to restore their natural equilibrium. This customized approach ensures each treatment actively supports their body's unique needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Guests can also enjoy cold plunge therapy to boost circulation.

Snacks Served: Following each treatment, we offer a curated selection of therapeutic teas designed to enhance the benefits of your spa experience. Our menu features specialized blends targeting different wellness goals—from detoxifying herbs to antioxidant-rich options and vitality-boosting infusions. 

In addition to a swimming pool, Terra Palm Springs offers a nutritious culinary program and wellness-focused beverages.

Splurge Treatment: Our 120-minute Terra Signature Journey offers the ultimate in luxurious healing. This comprehensive ritual weaves together three transformative therapies, beginning with a gentle herbal exfoliation to awaken the skin. The journey continues with our signature Abhyanga massage using warm therapeutic oils and traditional flowing movements.

The experience culminates with an extended marma point therapy targeting vital energy points of both body and scalp. Guests emerge feeling profoundly restored, with a sense of deep relaxation and renewed vitality that lasts well beyond their time with us.

Signature room features include private patios with plunge pools and beautiful mountain views.

Insider’s Favorite: I continually gravitate towards our Marma point massage, where our therapists target precise energy points throughout the body. The technique's ability to release deep-seated tension while rebalancing energy is remarkable. After each session, I feel deeply refreshed, as if every part of my being has been energetically reset.

The 13-room retreat blends mid-century modern architecture with natural, organic materials—concrete, wood, terracotta, and stone—to create a harmonious space where guests can relax, unwind, and reconnect.

Most Unique Treatment: Our Shirodhara treatment is a unique therapy where warm oil streams gently across your forehead's third eye area, creating a profound meditative state. Guests often experience unexpected breakthroughs, vivid visions, or simply discover a level of mental stillness they've never known before. It's particularly transformative for those with restless minds seeking deep relaxation and clarity.

Rooms are also stocked with luxurious, eco-conscious bath products from Le Lab, spa products from Surya, Sealy mattresses, Parachute Home bedding, and more.

Featured Products: Surya Ayurvedic Oils.
