Location

There is a magic to this place—the wind rustling through the ocotillo, the plaintive cry of a kit fox, the Milky Way that splits the black, wide-open sky. Borrego Ranch Resort & Spa is set near Palm Springs in the heart of the pristine and permanently protected 650,000-acre Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. With 350 days of sunshine a year and average winter highs in the low 70s, guests can enjoy an array of vivid wildflowers and cacti, palm groves, purple mountains and vast basins offering awe-inspiring views and endless outdoor adventures. Less than two hours from San Diego, the scenic drive allows just enough time to decompress and savor the gentle shift from city to forest to desert. The air becomes warmer, and soaring peaks and lush valleys mark your path as you begin to understand why Rand McNally ranked the scenic drive to the Borrego desert among the top 10 in the United States. To reach this luxury resort near San Diego and begin your getaway, the San Diego International Airport offers daily direct flights to and from most major cities.

When you arrive, the no-stoplight town of Borrego Springs welcomes you with small town charm and traditional Californian hospitality.
