Where to enjoy a girls getaway weekend in Greater Palm Springs? We have answers.

Everyone knows girls just wanna have fun. And, sometimes that fun means a girls weekend getaway in Palm Springs and beyond. A weekend of bliss means forgetting career , dishing gossip, healing wounds, working out issues, discussing lovers, bashing haters, trading childhood memories, and generally rejuvenating one’s spirit— all before Monday morning.

Here are six options to help the bonding experience.

Talk the Talk

The casitas at the Colony Palms Hotel are perfect for gossiping away the day. Rooms come with a large private patio that includes a two-person bath tub, and an oversized outdoor patio and umbrella. Be among the first to experience the newly renovated spa that opens in September.
