~Living Area~
A spacious sunken living room has been designed to feel as if you are nestled amongst the ancient boulders. The floor to ceiling windows give sight to jagged mountain peaks and the symphony of vibrant sunset colors as the sun melts into the horizon. The modern fireplace is framed by a 13’ high native rock wall while tongue and groove ash ceilings and custom built-ins provide an element of comfort and warmth. Curl up by the fireplace with a book or simply gaze out at the desert's natural wonders, allowing your thoughts to flow freely.
~Kitchen & Dining~
The chef's kitchen features Heath Ceramic tile will delight culinary enthusiasts - it is fully stocked with everything you will need to prepare the perfect meal. High-end appliances and ample counter space allow you to prepare gourmet meals with ease. The open concept design ensures you can chat with friends and family in the living area while crafting your culinary masterpiece.
The dining table inside seats 6 with seating for 4 at the breakfast bar. You may also choose to dine under the stars on a large outdoor table adjacent to the BBQ grill, overlooking all of Joshua Tree.
~Bedrooms & Bathrooms~
Skyfall has been designed with privacy in mind and accommodates up to four guests. The primary bedroom is located just off the main living area, with an ensuite bathroom and a private patio space. The second bedroom is in a nearby detached casita a few feet off the main house and has a private ensuite bathroom as well. It is also equipped with a kitchenette, complete with a coffee maker, small refrigerator and ice maker for morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail on the casita's attached patio, without having to leave the privacy of your own space.
Both bedrooms offer king-sized beds with high-end mattresses, Parachute linens, and luxury goose feather down pillows and duvets. Each bedroom is artfully decorated with custom wallpaper from celebrity photographer Don Flood of Fliepaper, and photography from Kate Ballis’ Infra Realism series is highlighted in the primary bedroom. Both bathrooms feature walk-in showers accented with Heath Ceramic tile, Brizo rain shower fixtures, Parachute towels and Public Goods body products.
~Outdoor Space~
For those seeking healing and rejuvenation, the in-ground saltwater pool and spa provide not only relaxation but also a sense of renewal. Immerse yourself in the pool's healing waters or unwind in the spa while taking in the expansive desert vistas.
As night falls, the magic of the desert sky comes alive. The lack of city lights allows for unparalleled stargazing opportunities. Lay out under the vast canopy of stars with a telescope or gather around the fire pit, marveling at the cosmos. The clear desert air and the absence of noise pollution make Skyfall an ideal place for connecting with the universe.
~Right Next to Joshua Tree National Park~
800,000 acres of mystical beauty: Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures, and at Skyfall, it is just outside of your doorstep. Sweeping, grand, and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations, this quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.
~Honoring Ancestral Land~
Skyfall stands on ancestral land, and we encourage our guests to honor and respect the heritage of this place. You can take a quiet moment to acknowledge the spirits of the land and its ancient history, deepening your connection with both the past and the present.
Whether you're seeking mindfulness, healing, or simply a space for contemplation, Skyfall provides the ideal environment to nurture your soul and foster a deeper connection with yourself and the natural world. Let the desert's timeless beauty and the thoughtful design of Skyfall inspire your journey of self-discovery and renewal.
