the sunshinefm guide to palm springs coachella

These are my personal faves. I've lived in the Coachella Valley for many years and this is an insider's opinionated edit — not a comprehensive directory, not a sponsored list, not a travel publication trying to please everyone. I'd like to think that every entry earns its place and believe it might be worth your time.

If you're a founder, a builder, or someone thinking about a visit, a retreat, a relocation, or planting something here — this is where I'd send you first.
