Above Palm Springs Sanctuary | Old Las Palmas | Pool & Spa | Luxury

Welcome to the Above Palm Springs Sanctuary,

Set against the San Jacinto Mountains in Palm Springs’ historic Old Las Palmas neighborhood, The Sanctuary was created as more than a luxury home — it was designed as a true retreat. A place where architecture, landscape, and experience blend seamlessly, and where every detail supports both connection and escape.

This four-bedroom villa embodies the essence of indoor–outdoor living. Floor-to-ceiling glass pocket doors disappear, allowing the desert light, mountain views, and resort-style pool to become extensions of the interior. Clean mid-century lines meet modern refinement, creating a space that feels open yet intimate, sophisticated yet welcoming. While just moments from Palm Canyon Drive, the Uptown Design District, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and nightlife, the home itself remains a private oasis defined by calm and intention.

Inside, the layout was designed for gathering. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home — stylish, functional, and naturally social — flowing effortlessly into communal living spaces made for long dinners, music, and conversation. A state-of-the-art media room invites movie nights and celebrations, while outside, lounge areas, a cozy fireplace, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and barbecue create the perfect setting for both lively evenings and quiet afternoons by the pool.

At the center of the experience is the villa’s glass-enclosed wine room — a true showpiece and one of the property’s most distinctive offerings. Guests have access to a curated wine list featuring rare, high-end, and beautifully aged bottles, including collectible vintages and old-world classics that are increasingly difficult to find. This is not simply a display; it is an invitation. Whether hosting a private tasting, pairing a special bottle with a chef-prepared dinner, or opening something exceptional at sunset, the collection elevates every gathering and transforms moments into lasting memories. This is made available upon request.

Throughout the home, thoughtful design choices reflect a refined aesthetic inspired by art, music, mathematics, and modern architecture. From statement tilework in the primary suite to carefully selected vintage furnishings surrounding the outdoor fire feature, each element contributes to a cohesive atmosphere that feels curated rather than decorated.

Old Las Palmas itself carries a rich legacy, long favored by Hollywood icons and architectural visionaries such as Albert Frey and Donald Wexler. Today, it remains one of Palm Springs’ most desirable neighborhoods, celebrated for its mid-century heritage, cultural significance, and proximity to the city’s vibrant dining and entertainment scene.

The Sanctuary offers more than a stay. It offers privacy without isolation, design without pretension, and an experience shaped around gathering, celebrating, and savoring — especially when there is a remarkable bottle waiting to be opened.
