By ArrivLast checked
A pool day, then the drive out to Joshua Tree. 3 days in Palm Springs, planned so the bride does not have to make a single decision she did not want to make. The bookings that need a deposit are marked, and everything else can move once you see what the group can afford. Arrive Thursday or early Friday, because Day 1 starts on time whether or not the last flight does. This guide maps 11 hand-picked places across pool & daylife, dining & cocktails, and desert adventures in Palm Springs, CA, grouped the way you would use them once you are on the ground. Treat the order as a starting point, since your flights and your hotel will bend it anyway. Duplicate the trip in Arriv, drag the stops that do not suit you, add the hotel, and send the link to whoever else is coming.

How to use this Palm Springs guide
- Follow the day-by-day order as a starting spine, because it already accounts for what sits near what. 3 days is the intended pace, and once you duplicate the trip you can stretch it or compress it to fit the flights.
- Day 1 assumes you are checked in and moving, so the first big block starts on a morning that is already yours. Land the night before if the schedule allows it.
- 9 stops carry a note about reservations, timing, or where to eat after the main event. Read those first, because they are the ones that change what you end up booking.
- The lists are themed on purpose, which is why they hold together as sets: Pool & daylife, Dining & cocktails, Desert adventures, and more. Use them when you have finished the scheduled stops and still have an evening to fill.
- Pin the map so you have it on your phone at the airport. Duplicate into Arriv when you are ready to lock dates, add hotels, and share the plan with everyone coming to Palm Springs.
