Yes, it’s located in an industrial park—but locals are obsessed with this newish vegan deli spot from the original founder of Native Foods. The El Cubano seitan sandwich gets all the press, although the salad options are legit. There’s a special dinner menu on Wednesdays…or just buy a jar of her Crack Cheese to take back to your Airbnb.

Where locals go for cheap, hot spring pool hangs in Desert Hot Springs. It’s not exactly luxe, but then again, day-use rates start at $5 (yes, really).

Locals are obsessed with studio owner (and personal trainer) Sean Bergara—and for good reason: Despite the bright, airy space and the perky ‘70s disco playlist, his Pilates reformer classes are no joke. Better reserve your spot in advance, though, since there are only 8 machines and he’s got a cult-like following of regulars.

A CBD-only "pharmacy" (read: non-psychoactive products for holistic health) that will make you wish you had a little more room in your carry-on for souvenirs—from the terpene-packed lozenges and honey sticks to cannabidiol-infused bath salts, oils, and even dog treats.

You can’t beat the location of this smartly designed, mid-century modern-inspired Kimpton hotel. But that’s not the only reason to book a stay: The rooms all come with a Gaiam yoga mat, the gym is spacious (and actually gets natural light—praise!), and the lobby café Juniper Table is an easy place to grab a broccoli-date salad or avocado mousse desert.

Between the Arby’s and the Del Tacos that line Route 111, you’ll spot this healthy oasis in the desert: A cheerful café with a ridiculously long functional foods-focused menu. From the drinks (Bulletproof-style coffee, CBD-boosted citrus juice...) to the nosh (there's even a probiotic almond cheese), the only problem is narrowing down what you’ll order from this long-running gem.

Classic—but basic—organic diner food at the cooler younger-sister spot to Palm Greens Cafe. Although they serve wine and beer, don’t miss Mod's juice-tonic “Cocktails” (in particular the Immune Support option if all your travel’s left you worn out). Bonus: There are grab-and-go salads and wraps by the register.

If you visit Palm Springs and don’t snap a selfie at Moorten’s, did the trip even happen? Take a self-guided tour through the cactus and succulent garden (bonus points if you’re there on a day when the turtles are out), and pick up a plant to take home on your way out.

Get your valley views via the Desert View Trail in the Mount San Jacinto State Park. (As its name suggests, the views are pretty stunning.) For longer treks, you can hook in to parts of the Pacific Crest Trail or—if you're up for the challenge (and pre-hike prep work)—try the Skyline Ridge Route (AKA Cactus to Clouds), which gains 10,364 feet of elevation in 14.5 miles one way.

A Palm Springs (healthy) institution that, from the decor to the menu, also doubles as a ‘90s wellness time capsule. The strip mall spot serves up basic-but-filling standards (brown rice and black beans show up a lot), as well as a long list of juice options—all with a CBD shot add-in option, because duh.

The service may be slow (place your order by phone if you don’t want to be waiting 20 minutes for your smoothie bowl), but you’ll find some of the best juice, smoothie, and raw food options (think tacos, burgers, and “pad Thai” bowls) this side of the San Jacinto mountains. And yes, they have a raw, vegan date shake.

The pool here? Definitely a scene—but you can find some peace and quiet at The Feel Good Spa, which is curated in partnership with The Body Deli.

You don’t need to book a room at this beyond-relaxing Desert Hot Springs spot to gain access to their three mineral hot spring pools; guests of The Spring’s day spa get two hours poolside in addition to their treatment.

Exactly what you’d imagine a Palm Springs yoga studio to look like: sky blue walls, rust orange carpeting, ‘70s thrift store-style couches carefully arranged at the front.
