There is something about the desert that naturally encourages slowing down. The quiet landscapes, healing waters, and open skies of Greater Palm Springs have drawn visitors seeking restoration for generations—and this September, the region’s wellness culture takes center stage during Greater Palm Springs Spa Month.
Celebrating National Self-Care Awareness Month, Spa Month invites guests to experience the oasis through a collection of limited-time offers and curated wellness experiences from participating spas, resorts, and retreats across the destination’s nine cities.
From soaking in naturally occurring mineral hot springs to experiencing signature spa treatments, restorative massages, rejuvenating facials, and sound baths beneath the desert stars, the month-long celebration highlights the many ways the desert can become a place of renewal.
A Desert Destination Built Around Wellness
Wellness has always been part of Greater Palm Springs’ identity. Long before luxury resorts and modern spa retreats became synonymous with the region, the area’s mineral-rich waters and desert environment attracted travelers searching for healing and relaxation.
Today, that tradition continues through a diverse collection of wellness experiences that blend ancient practices with contemporary treatments. Visitors can spend a day unwinding at a spa, plan a wellness-focused getaway, or simply take time to reconnect with themselves while surrounded by the natural beauty of the Coachella Valley.
Throughout September, Spa Month offers an opportunity to explore the region’s evolving wellness landscape—from tranquil spa rituals to immersive experiences designed to restore balance and encourage mindfulness.
Plan Your Desert Reset
Greater Palm Springs Spa Month takes place September 1–30, 2026. Whether you’re looking for a restorative escape, a weekend retreat, or a moment of quiet away from the everyday, the oasis offers countless ways to embrace self-care.
Reservations are recommended for many participating spas, including day-pass experiences.
