Feel At Home
Make Korakia Your Own
Our historic, 1.5-acre petite resort in the heart of Palm Springs, is the perfect destination for milestone celebrations, from weddings, engagements, wellness retreats, a corporate think-tank getaway, or a reunion with good friends. Comprised of the 1920s Moroccan hideaway created by artist Gordon Coutts and the Mediterranean villa next door, once owned by 1930s silent screen star J. Carol Naish. Together, they form a hidden oasis of gardens, pools, lounges and fountains among 28 Mediterranean and Moroccan bungalows, guesthouses and villas. With the stunning San Jacinto Mountains as your backdrop, your event will be picturesque and unforgettable. We have a wide range of indoor and outdoor spaces that can accommodate up to 130 people.
In between events and activities, your guests can unwind in our desert oasis. Enjoy the sun by two of our heated pools, hike the mountains, take a spa treatment, a leisurely bike ride touring our Palm Spring’s legendary architecture or play a game of bocce…your guests will have the space and time to unwind and relax.
