Korakia Pensione

There’s more to this Mediterranean-themed compound than just olive trees and hanging Moroccan lanterns. Because this is Palm Springs, you can expect two heated pools, though Korakia brings its own flavor: spread throughout two handsomely restored villas from the 1920s and 1930s, each guest room is slightly different. One might feature a rustic 4-poster bed with crisp, billowing linen, while others have colossal, rough-hewn granite tubs—you’ll feel like you’re bathing on the edge of a creek in the Atlas Mountains. The place oozes warmth and sophistication, prompting many a traveler to abandon sightseeing altogether, opting instead to throw bocce balls in the bougainvillea-scented courtyard.
