Calico Landing, Desert Pool + Spa Retreat

Welcome to Calico Landing, a serene hillside retreat in Yucca Valley, just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. This modern desert escape opens to wide open skies, golden light and quiet, star filled nights. Spend your days floating in the pool, relaxing in the hot spa and taking in the panoramic views. Inside, warm modern design, open concept living and spa style bathrooms create a calming space to slow down, recharge and enjoy the unique beauty of the high desert

Calico Landing is a private desert sanctuary set on two acres, surrounded by sculptural Ocotillos, tall Yuccas and iconic Joshua Trees. More than two hundred fifty native plants shape a living landscape where quail, owls and chipmunks move quietly through this peaceful corner of the high desert.

Inside, floor to ceiling glass brings the outside in, connecting curated interiors with wide open sky and rolling terrain. The living room blends modern desert style with layered textures, custom pieces and hand selected art, creating a warm and refined atmosphere that encourages slow mornings and gentle evenings.

Step onto the covered patio and gather around the fire pit as constellations rise overhead. Wander to the thirty foot heated pool and spa set among natural stone and native cactus gardens. Lounge chairs and umbrellas invite long afternoons by the water. The spa is complimentary upon request, and the pool can be heated for a nightly fee.

The primary suite is designed for deep rest, featuring a California King DreamCloud hybrid mattress, soft drapery and calming desert views. Its spa style bathroom includes a soaking tub and a teak floored rain shower for end of day renewal.

The second bedroom offers a hand painted desert mural and a Canyon Arched Canopy Bed with a plush queen memory foam mattress. A nearby bathroom with a terrazzo rain shower brings a gentle start to each morning.

The fully equipped kitchen makes cooking easy, with an electric range, dishwasher, retro style Galanz refrigerator, wine fridge and a coffee station with Nespresso and Chemex. A glass pantry stores yoga mats, games and outdoor gear to elevate every stay.

Enjoy sunrise coffee with mountain views. Float in the pool beneath endless blue. Watch the desert turn gold at sunset, then settle by the fire pit under a sky full of stars. At Calico Landing, every moment invites rest, clarity and a deeper connection to the quiet beauty of the desert
