DESERT LIVING MEETS ISLAND LUXURY AT THE NEW TOMMY BAHAMA MIRAMONTE RESORT & SPA

by Brett Stout



Located in Indian Wells, California, the first resort concept for lifestyle brand Tommy Bahama will debut on November 1st as the Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa, following an extensive, $20 million renovation and redesign that pairs island living with desert luxury. Situated against the Santa Rosa Mountains, the transformed resort boasts 215 guestrooms and reimagined villa suites infused with a custom tropical design aesthetic woven into 11 acres of olive trees, fragrant citrus groves, and flower gardens. With 35,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space; three saltwater swimming pools with cabanas; Grapefruit Basil, a new signature restaurant and bar created specifically for the resort; exclusive retail products at the new Rosa Boutique; and 12,000-square-foot Spa Rosa, Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa will serve as a chic desert escape for travelers looking to soak up life’s simple pleasures and celebrate their most significant moments.

“We are thrilled to welcome visitors to the one-of-a-kind Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa,” said Kevin Barnes, General Manager of Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa. “The transformed resort seamlessly merges Tommy Bahama’s signature, easy-going aesthetic with our unique haven, and Grapefruit Basil’s new culinary experience is a true highlight, thoughtfully designed for our valued guests and the desert community.”

“At Tommy Bahama, we’ve always believed in the art of living well and embracing the island lifestyle,” said Doug Wood, CEO of Tommy Bahama. “With this resort, we’re crafting an entirely new concept of leisure, fusing our brand’s essence with the unparalleled beauty of this desert oasis and creating a destination where every moment feels like a timeless escape.”

DESIGN
Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa masterfully blends Tommy Bahama’s laid-back, coastal design aesthetic with Miramonte’s architecture, resulting in an effortless yet elevated resort atmosphere. Embracing the brand’s world-class artistry and craftsmanship with bespoke Tommy Bahama prints and décor, the reimagined Greater Palm Springs resort brings a welcoming residential feel while transporting guests to a paradise state of mind.

EAT & DRINK
Grapefruit Basil, the resort’s new signature restaurant and bar, is the first of its kind and was developed exclusively for Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa. Named after the famed Tommy Bahama cocktail and paying homage to citrus trees found across the property, interiors are anchored by hues of white and green with yellow accents embodied by live Meyer lemon trees inside. Serving brunch and dinner seven days a week, the indoor/outdoor dining venue features coastal-inspired dishes and a seasonal craft cocktail menu.

MEET & CELEBRATE
Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa offers more than 35,000 square feet of multipurpose indoor and outdoor space for meetings and corporate events for up to 500 guests. With connecting lawns and terraces providing stunning views of the Santa Rosa Mountains, the resort offers customizable catering menus and innovative breakout spaces all framed by desert surroundings. The resort’s eight meeting venues have been renamed to reflect the brand’s island spirit and include the expansive Grand Ballroom, signature Grand Lawn surrounded by greenery of ficus and cypress trees, intimate White Sands and Marlin Ballrooms, and second-story Sunset Terrace with unparalleled mountain views, a grand stone fireplace and cathedral columns. Tucked away off the Sunset Terrace, the Meeting Suites bring the outdoors in with natural light and French doors while providing a space for small, confidential meetings.

RELAX & RECHARGE
Presenting everything essential for a day of tropical relaxation, the renovated 12,000-square-foot Spa Rosa offers 11 serenely appointed treatment rooms for indoor/outdoor services and features a new menu of desert-inspired wellness treatments and rituals.

SHOP & PLAY
Home to three saltwater swimming pools, the resort’s signature Tommy Bahama Pool features grapefruit pink lounge chairs and umbrellas, private cabanas, and a new poolside bar menu from Chiki Palm. Amongst the resort’s olive grove, a signature firewall, eight fire pits, two bocce ball courts, and plush seating invite guests to relax and socialize.

Unlike any other Tommy Bahama retail store, the resort is home to the new Rosa Boutique, a thoughtfully curated specialty store where guests can purchase luxury goods from local brands and Tommy Bahama merchandise exclusive to the resort. The upscale boutique offers items such as an aromatic Grapefruit Basil candle and branded print bags along with resort-exclusive apparel in signature print, Calypso Palms. Rosa Boutique’s stock of men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, from dressy linens, swimsuits, and coverups to golf apparel, and a not-so-basic boyfriend shirt, all embody Tommy Bahama’s coastal attitude in a laid-back desert setting. Guests can shop for sporting equipment like Tommy Bahama printed pickleball paddles and golf club head covers, in addition to jewelry, sunglasses, hats, footwear, books, towels, and more.
