Feel At Home
Create the Ultimate Wellbeing Journey
Palm Springs has been a wellness destination for well over one hundred years. At the turn of the 20th century, our hot, dry climate became a healing environment for people who journeyed here from all over to cure chronic ailments, and our mineral-rich hot springs soothed bodies and souls. In fact, the very first of Palm Springs’ famous healing enclaves stood only a few blocks away from our petite resort, at the corner of Palm Canyon Drive and Tahquitz Canyon Way. Korakia was born as Palm Springs was becoming renowned as a wellness retreat, so if you’re already feeling its rejuvenating spirit as you walk through our courtyards, that’s simply the serenity that’s baked into our DNA. History has set the stage for you to chart your wellness journey here, and we can help you plan the ultimate retreat.
Experience
Our Petite Resort is your sanctuary
Sitting in the shadow of the native Cahuilla people’s sacred Mt. San Jacinto, Korakia has hosted days-long retreats that include yoga sessions in our citrus grove, fireside intention-setting sessions, guided nature hikes, sound baths, and evening swims in our two saltwater pools, heated to 95°F when it gets cool. Create meditational moments and hold motivational speaking sessions in our courtyards, essential oil classes in one of our historic villas, and enjoy nourishing meals around our rose petal-strewn Moroccan fountain. Stock your guests’ rooms with the amenities, notebooks and other fine details that will make your wellness retreat memorable—and help set their intentions for a beautifully personalized journey to wellbeing. You can take a full buyout of 28 rooms in both villas, or one side: the Mediterranean villa (16 rooms) or Moroccan villa (12)—both with their own distinctive social spaces and heated saltwater pools. If you have a more intimate group, our 6-bedroom Auric House, which sleeps up to 12, could be a great option as well, offering a perfect blend of privacy and comfort for your gathering.
