Memorial Day Weekend has come to mean not only a long, much-needed three day weekend but also one of the busiest holiday weekends in the year. Despite the warmer climate year-round, Southern Californians are excited to officially dive into summer and are expected to hit the road – and airports – in record numbers this weekend. To escape the hustle and bustle that has become Memorial Day weekend, Hilton & Hyland presents five sanctuary homes that are the ultimate getaway.
25 Sierra Vista, Rancho Mirage – Palm Springs
This extraordinary 5,000-square-foot Brian Foster masterpiece sits high above the desert floor in the 24-hour guard gated community of Mirada Estates. The spectacular jetliner views of the snowcapped mountains combined with the illuminated city lights across the desert floor below are truly invigorating and inspiring. Designed for both upscale entertaining and comfortable living, the home seamlessly blends the indoors with the outdoors by its 60ft wide disappearing glass doors. An expansive outdoor lanai with 60ft infinity-edge pool and spa, dual fire pits, multiple areas for lounging, and panoramic vistas create the ultimate outdoor experience. Mirada Estates offers a rarefied residential life of custom built homes to the owner’s preferred design, style and architecture. From the first class fitness facilities to 5-Star dining, catering and accommodations, Mirada homeowners are exclusively entitled to a multitude of amenities offered by its neighbor, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The hip and cool vibe of downtown Palm Springs and La Quinta are just minutes away.
