Fodor's Expert Review Miramonte Resort & Spa

Guest rooms at the most intimate of the Indian Wells hotels are in red-roof villas on 11 acres of bougainvillea-filled gardens against a backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Many rooms have private patios or balconies with views of the perfectly manicured gardens, filled with citrus and olive trees, roses, bougainvillea, herbs, vegetables, and sculptures. Reading nooks and hammocks are tucked into secluded corners. Guests may use facilities at the Indian Wells Golf and Tennis Center.
