From November to April, the Palm Springs desert lights up with tourists who alight on the adventure that is pure heat, pleasure and magic in the sun. Regardless of where you are in the world, winter is over and the delight of summer sun and dry, tan-inspiring heat defines your Palm Springs getaway experience during the high season out in the desert playground. The Korakia Pensione in Palm Springs may be the perfect place to unite summer pleasure with romantic allure on your next vacation.

Pushing Mediterranean style in every detail, the Korakia Pensione offers travelers a getaway from the real world like no other. According to their literature, the hotel combines “the silhouette of Tangier with a whisper of the Mediterranean.” In a word, mesmerizing. Breakfasts are fully cooked for guests and complimentary everyday. That is where the retreat into heaven begins in Palm Springs. And guests will dine in the Moroccan courtyard that highlights the style and character of the hotel.

Of course as with all Palm Springs hotels, the pool is also complimentary, but this getaway location offers yoga and a full spa suite as well. For the bookish looking to unwind, there is a host of vintage books in the Korakia Pensione library lounge. And for the game-inspired, why not play a game of bocce or head into downtown Palm Springs for some furniture or antique shopping. For those inclined to combine a little bit of exercise with their vacation, the hotel offers free bicycles for you to take that trip into downtown. Moroccan tea is offered every afternoon as you return to your hotel after a jaunt about town in the day, and the pools are lit and heated at night for you unwind even further after a long hard day relaxing. Guests will be surprised with the detail here — poolside loungers at night will be treated to classic or foreign films being screened outdoors as you frolic in the heated water.

Awards? Sure, those too. Forbes Traveler has named this hotel, officially, among the “Sexiest Hotels in America.”
