CMLocated in Indian Wells, the first resort concept for elevated lifestyle brand, Tommy Bahama, will debut on November 1 as Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa, following an extensive, $20 million renovation and redesign that pairs island living with desert luxury. Situated against the Santa Rosa Mountains, the transformed resort boasts 215 guestrooms and reimagined villa suites infused with a custom tropical design aesthetic woven into 11 acres of olive trees, fragrant citrus groves and flower gardens.
With 35,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space; three saltwater swimming pools with cabanas; Grapefruit Basil, a new signature restaurant and bar created specifically for the resort; exclusive retail products at the new Rosa Boutique; and 12,000-square-foot Spa Rosa, Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa will serve as a chic desert escape for travelers looking to soak up life’s simple pleasures and celebrate their most significant moments.
“At Tommy Bahama, we’ve always believed in the art of living well and embracing the island lifestyle,” said Doug Wood, CEO of Tommy Bahama. “With this resort, we’re crafting an entirely new concept of leisure, fusing our brand’s essence with the unparalleled beauty of this desert oasis and creating a destination where every moment feels like a timeless escape.”
DESIGN
Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa masterfully blends Tommy Bahama’s laid-back, coastal design aesthetic with Miramonte’s architecture, resulting in an effortless yet elevated resort atmosphere. Embracing the brand’s world-class artistry and craftsmanship with bespoke Tommy Bahama prints and décor, the reimagined Coachella Valley resort brings a welcoming residential feel while transporting guests to a paradise state of mind.
New design elements feature playful typography, pops of green and grapefruit pink, contemporary furniture, and colorful tropical patterns, bringing a sense of warmth and character to the property. Garden pathways wind through mature citrus trees and an olive tree grove, complete with hanging lanterns and fire pits, adding to the intimate, relaxing atmosphere.
STAY
Two-story bungalows welcome guests with grand archways to the resort’s 215 guestrooms, many featuring a private patio or balcony with dazzling garden and mountain views. The redesigned rooms embody the island-inspired essence of Tommy Bahama, with thoughtful placements of original wallpaper featuring lush green palms and touches of grapefruit pink and custom Tommy Bahama and LAFCO amenities.
EAT & DRINK
Grapefruit Basil, the resort’s new signature restaurant and bar, is the first of its kind and was developed exclusively for Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa. Named after the famed Tommy Bahama cocktail and paying homage to citrus trees found across the property, interiors are anchored by hues of white and green with yellow accents embodied by live Meyer lemon trees inside. Serving brunch and dinner seven days a week, the indoor/outdoor dining venue features coastal-inspired dishes and a seasonal craft cocktail menu. From Santa Barbara smoked salmon and beef from a Santa Carota ranch in Bakersfield to Rancho Gordo beans harvested in Napa Valley, dishes are complemented by citrus and herbs grown at the resort.
SHOP & PLAY
Unlike any other Tommy Bahama retail store, the resort is home to new Rosa Boutique, a thoughtfully curated specialty store where guests can purchase luxury goods from local brands and Tommy Bahama merchandise exclusive to the resort. The upscale boutique offers items such as an aromatic Grapefruit Basil candle and branded print bags along with resort exclusive apparel in signature print, Calypso Palms. Rosa Boutique’s stock of men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, from dressy linens, swimsuits and coverups to golf apparel, and a not-so-basic boyfriend shirt, all embody Tommy Bahama’s coastal attitude in a laid-back desert setting. Guests can shop for sporting equipment like Tommy Bahama printed pickleball paddles and golf club head covers, in addition to jewelry, sunglasses, hats, footwear, books, towels and more.
