Real Weddings Mini-Moon: Miramonte Resort & Spa

October 25th, 2011

Indian Wells, near popular Palm Springs, draws its equal share of spa lovers in search of warm weather and resort style. A Mediterranean oasis nestled at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains, the Miramonte Resort & Spa boasts luxury accommodations, fine dining, a romantic ambience and one of the highest rated spas in southern California.

Recommended Resort: Miramonte Resort & Spa. 215 guest rooms, suites and villas await in the herb, citrus, olive tree and bougainvillea-covered grounds of Miramonte. The signature pool is graced with lounge chairs and daybeds, complete with private poolside cabanas for sun-drenched afternoons.

The Grove Artisan Kitchen is the star dining venue on-site, offering farm to table, fresh California-seasonal fare. Local and regional farms and ranches help the restaurant to create the most enticing restaurant menu in the Coachella Valley. The menu features organic produce, “home grown” fresh herbs, farm raised meats and poultry, fresh Pacific seafood, house-made pastas, prime dry-aged meats and innovative vegetarian or spa oriented dishes.

Check In: 45000 Indian Wells Lane in Indian Wells. 877-314-7081, miramonteresort.com

Check Out: Golf lovers will enjoy the three championship courses the resort overlooks. Located on the resort campus is the Indian Wells Golf Resort, home to the 2007-2009 LG Skins Game. Ranked in the Top 20 “Best Courses You Can Play” in California by Golfweek Magazine, the courses at the Indian Wells Golf Resort are the most prestigious resort courses in the Palm Springs and Palm Desert area.

At the Callaway Performance Centers (CPC), you’ll have your swing evaluated with the exact same cutting edge fitting technology they use on Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Annika Sorenstam. You’ll swing the latest clubs from golf’s leading innovator and get fit into the ideal equipment for your game.

Don’t Miss: The Well Spa. Rated the #1 resort spa by Condé Nast Traveler, it’s hard to argue with top-notch service, a Tuscan vibe and those breathtaking Santa Rosa Mountains. Our favorite treatment is the Desert Rain Massage. Essential oils like marjoram and wintergreen drop like rain along the spine to boost immunities, reduce mental fatigue and calm the central nervous system. A relaxing, full-body massage includes a warm compress to enhance the effects. Designed exclusively for The Well Spa by certified aromatherapist Lori Torquati. Couples may also enjoy a cozy, seated barrel soak for two overlooking the mountains before bedtime.
