LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - October 01, 2015) - Once home to the peaceful hunters and gatherers of the Agua Caliente Indians, Palm Springs has evolved from a rich agricultural region to one of the top tourist attractions in the United States. The desert oasis has been reeling in visitors and residents alike since the 1880s. Today, it continues to enchant vacationers through architectural creations flaunting the unique desert modernism style, extensive range of events like Coachella and Palm Springs International Film Festival, and the affordable luxury accommodations at the Diamond Resorts International® Desert Isle of Palm Springs resort.

Palm Springs has long had a reputation as Hollywood's desert playground: Since the 1920s, the Californian city was a temporary home for several celebrities, especially those whose contracts demanded their availability within two hours from the studio in case the latter required additional photo shoots. Therefore, there are many hideaway homes in Palm Springs belonging to Hollywood stars such as Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, George Hamilton, Cary Grant, Elizabeth Taylor, and Dean Martin. Some of today's A-listers have also succumbed to the lure of the desert oasis and its privacy. Therefore members, owners and guests of Diamond Resorts International® have a real chance of running into celebrities like Ron Howard, Leonardo DiCaprio, Anne Hathaway, and Clint Eastwood.

Less than four miles away from famous Hollywood attractions such as Copley's Restaurant and Palm Springs' own Walk of Stars on E Palm Canyon Drive Desert Isle of Palm Springs is at the heart of the city's eclectic and vibrant spots. Part of the Diamond Resorts International® network of resorts, it is a stone's throw away from California's wilderness. On the other hand, there is no end to the quaint shops, boutiques, and art galleries you can visit during your stay. Offering the best of both worlds, Desert Isle of Palm Springs promises a comfortable stay after an adventure in the nearby canyons and rugged landscape. Most guest rooms feature king beds, sleeper sofas, full bath amenities, and a fireplace. You can also enjoy the view from your balcony, patio or terrace, or simply laze away in front of the TV. Active travellers can use the on-site fitness center, sauna, table tennis and racquetball, Jacuzzi, and spa facilities, or plan off-site activities with the resort's team members, including fishing, plane sightseeing, and golf. With so much in store, it is no wonder that visitors to the Desert Isle of Palm Springs Stay Vacationed.™
