Holidays at the Hyatt: Everything You Need to Know to Book Your Stay at the Luxury Resort

Registration and Valet Parking

Under the portico, the valet helped with my luggage. A wooden carved door led to the welcoming grandiose lobby, with its sandy color palette accented with wood carvings of the captivating desert terrain, making one feel at home. It was beautiful. 

Activities are Abundant

When you check in, you will receive the Outlets Weekly Calendar, which provides the resort’s restaurants, pools and spas hours. You can expect to see exercise classes, yoga and special activities listed; check the monitor outside the elevators to see when these will be held.

Grand Hyatt King Deluxe Room

My room included an enormous bathroom with an impressive soaking tub, a large glass-enclosed shower and more than enough sink and counter space. A bottle of Balmain Paris lotion stood prominently on the counter, and a note stated all sundries were exclusively created for the Grand Hyatt at Indian Wells. 

Walking into the room, I passed a nook with a coffeemaker and a king-sized bed. In the spacious living room, the look was clean and modern. Clay-color fabrics and wood were utilized to reflect the natural palate of the surrounding desert. The room’s overall ambiance was relaxed and minimal, allowing the mountainscape to steal the show.

Grand Hyatt Villas

If you prefer more privacy, a villa may suit your stay. Forty-three villas with golf course views are configured into one- and two-bedroom units with expansive living areas. These stand-alone buildings are luxurious and perfect for entertaining with fireplaces, wet bars and private patios.

The Pools

The Grand Hyatt stretches more than 45 acres and has nine pools. One of which is the HyTides Water Park. Two dueling slides twist and turn as you glide into the drop-off pool below. For family members who prefer to float their way through vacation, a 450-foot lazy river is at your disposal. 

If you’re on vacation without little ones, head to the adults-only Oasis Pool, where you can soak in the serenity of the desert surroundings, flip through a book, work on your tan and enjoy a cocktail from the Oasis Pool Bar.

Dining 

There are six restaurants where you can indulge in delicious bites and sips when the hunger bug hits. You can choose Vista Square Kitchen or The Well if you enjoy refreshing bites by the pool. If you’re in a hurry to explore the many attractions near the property, like the Palm Springs Art Museum or the Desert Hills Premium Outlets, Camino Springs Market has a variety of snacks and a deli bar to grab a quick bite.

Carmocha is a delightful place to meet a friend for cocktails. Here, you can enjoy unique craft cocktails and small bites. With a menu specializing in small plates from various regions across the world, Carmocha is a global adventure of rich flavors and diverse culinary cultures.

Craving a more formal dining experience? Tia Carmen is the place to go. It was created by renowned Chef Angelo Sosa. Sosa draws inspiration from his aunt (Tia Carmen) and creates food that blends farm-fresh produce with unusual spices. Each forkful makes your tastebuds dance with delight. The ambiance is elegant and refined, and the service is superb; no request is too big.

Agua Serena Spa

The Agua Serena Spa is the ideal place to unwind. With 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, there is plenty of space to relax the mind, body and spirit. 

Agua Serena Spa offers a wide range of desert-inspired treatments and packages performed by expert therapists. They also have a full med spa. 

Try the Desert Hot Stone Massage. This 80-minute experience makes you feel the warmth of the desert with hot stones and custom massage techniques to melt away muscle tension. Stone placement on specific areas of the body helps calm and alleviate stress.

Golf with Fabulous Views

There are two nearby golf courses if you want to get in a quick 18 during your stay. The Par-72 Indian Wells Golf Resort Celebrity Course, created by golf architect Clive Clark, features undulating fairways, streams, brooks and split-level lakes connected by striking waterfalls with vibrant floral detail. 

The Players Course, also located at the nearby Indian Wells Golf Resort, was designed by John Fought and opened in 2007. It’s a classic American design with a modern approach to golf. Stately trees surround the landscape, and most holes take full advantage of the picturesque views surrounding the land. 

The Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort and Villas does not disappoint. I really enjoyed my stay there and look forward to returning soon.
