Escape to Villa Araby Estate — a luxury 5-bedroom, 4-bath Spanish villa with a private pool and spa, panoramic mountain and valley views, and over 3,500 sq ft of indoor-outdoor living, tucked against the Santa Rosa Mountains just 2 miles from Downtown Palm Springs.

Prime Location

Set in Araby Cove, a quiet hillside enclave below the historic Southridge Estates (once home to Bob Hope, Steve McQueen, and William Holden), this home offers some of the most spectacular views in Palm Springs — plus incredible hiking trails right outside your door. You're minutes from downtown restaurants, boutique shopping, the Palm Springs Surf Club, pickleball, golf, casinos, theaters, and parks, with the Living Desert Zoo, Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Nobu, and PGA West a short drive away.

Ideal for Palm Springs vacations, desert hiking trips, luxury group getaways, family reunions, golf and tennis trips, and festival or tournament weekends.

Luxury Living Spaces

Vaulted wood-beam ceilings and an open-concept layout blend classic Spanish architecture with modern comfort: a 75" smart TV and fireplace in the main living room, a second den with a 65" TV, Bose sound throughout, smart dimmable lighting, and 2 smart thermostats. Large windows capture desert, mountain, and city views from nearly every room.

Two primary king suites with en-suite baths, blackout coverings, and double vanities (upstairs suite adds a private balcony and soaking tub; downstairs suite has a large stone shower).

Pool & Spa Heating

Available for $125/day. Pool is maintained at 88°F; text "spa" to activate spa heat and allow 45 minutes.

Pet Friendly

Pets welcome with pre-approval. $500 non-refundable pet fee. All pets must be approved before arrival. Unauthorized pets or guests beyond city limits may result in penalties or eviction under Palm Springs vacation rental regulations.

Palm Springs Vacation Rental Rules

To comply with City of Palm Springs regulations, guests must provide a photo ID, a signed rental agreement, and a signed rules acknowledgment. The primary renter must be 25+, must be the first to check in, and only registered guests may stay — no subletting. Quiet hours are 10 PM–10 AM; please keep music and noise inaudible outside the property per city ordinance.

Property Maintenance & Safety

Pool service Tuesdays & Fridays (early morning); landscaping Thursdays. Fire extinguishers are located in the kitchen, master bedroom, and BBQ area. This is a non-smoking property. Due to high desert fire risk, fireworks, open flames, and tiki torches are prohibited — please turn off the BBQ and fireplaces (both natural gas) when not in use. The den fireplace is currently non-operational; two other fireplaces are available.

A Note on Air Conditioning in the Desert

To keep cooling systems running safely and efficiently during peak summer months (regularly 100°F+), thermostats are maintained within ranges recommended by local HVAC professionals for desert climates. Thanks to the Coachella Valley's low humidity, the home feels noticeably cooler than the same temperature would elsewhere — most guests are pleasantly surprised. Please keep doors, the garage, and sun-facing window shades closed during the hottest parts of the day. Setting the thermostat to extreme temperatures can cause system failure and loss of cooling — we appreciate your cooperation in helping keep the home comfortable for everyone.

Security Cameras

Exterior cameras (driveway, front door/doorbell, exterior deck areas, pool exterior wall, backyard hillside, and HVAC equipment area) are installed for property protection only — no interior monitoring.
