When you think of Palm Springs you immediately think of a laid-back vibe combined with retro charm, modern luxury, and a relaxed desert atmosphere. This checked off all the boxes for bride-to-be Courtney and she knew it would be the perfect place for celebrating her bachelorette party. Palm Springs is a special place to her and she always told herself that if she had a bachelorette trip one day, Palm Spring is where it would be! Courtney is a lover of all things retro & neon, so she decided to combine the two, along with the colorful Palm Royale vibe, to create her own party theme. If you’re planning an upcoming bachelorette party in Palm Springs and need a little planning inspo, keep on reading for all of Courtney’s party deets!
The Weekend Itinerary
What They Did
Day 1: Pool Day & Hibachi Night
The party started for Courtney & her crew on Thursday afternoon when they arrived at their private, mid-century resort style Airbnb. The group quickly unpacked and changed into their swimsuits. After toasting the bride-to-be with cocktails, they made their way into the pool where they relaxed and mingled with one another. To wrap up their first night after a long morning of traveling, the group came inside and changed into their matching PJ’s. Courtney and her squad stayed in and enjoyed a private hibachi dinner on the patio with Let’s Hibachi.
Day 2: Aerial Tramway, Hiking, & Neon Night Out
The next day the group headed off to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which is the largest rotating aerial tramway in the world! Once the group reached the top of the peak they got off and went on a 2-mile hike. After a morning of adventure the squad headed back to the Airbnb and cooled off in the pool. The theme for the evening was Neon Night so Courtney and her squad dressed in their brightest ensembles, paired with colorful Neon Pastel Party Wigs and Blingy Heart Sunnies! They enjoyed an outdoor dinner at Tac/Quila followed by dancing & drinks at the nearby clubs.
Day 3: Joshua Tree, Shopping, Relaxing & Dinner
On Saturday Courtney decided it would be best for her group to split up so everyone could do what they wanted. One group went to Joshua Tree, one went shopping, and one stayed back at the Airbnb to relax in the pool (or shall we say they recovered from their crazy night out 🤪). Everyone met back at the Airbnb that afternoon and got ready for dinner at Copleys.
Day 4: Bye-Bye Palm Springs
The group woke up early the next morning to check out of the Airbnb and say their final goodbyes before heading to the airport.

The Airbnb was designed as the ultimate private group vacation compound/resort and features five separate suites that can be rented individually, but also as one large private mini resort! It has stunning architecture, a beautiful courtyard with outdoor dining area, pool with chaise lounges, hot tub, spa, fire pit... basically everything a bride could possibly want for a bachelorette weekend!
