Rancho Mirage

The luxurious resort-filled city of Rancho Mirage, just southeast of Palm Springs in the Coachella Valley, is chockablock with some of the best resorts in Greater Palm Springs. In fact, it is so well-loved as a resort destination, particularly by U.S. presidents, it has earned the moniker, “Playground of Presidents.” The 200-acre former Annenberg estate, Sunnylands, is one of Rancho Mirage’s prime attractions, a site that hosted world leaders in diplomacy talks for 40 years. Rancho’s golf courses are well-known and its wellness resorts are renowned. And for those who just came for the shopping, there’s a waterfront shopping and dining mecca, The River.
