Indian Wells / California

“Create an unsurpassed quality of life for residents and guests by providing superior public safety, exceptional service and outstanding amenities that will further enhance our image as a prestigious community and international resort destination.”

– City of Indian Wells

Tranquil And Luxurious

Guest and residents of Indian Wells relish in what this desert oasis has to offer. Home to four worldclass resorts, a championship golf course, a famed tennis facility, one of the largest tennis tournaments in the world, the BNP Paribas Open, along with a variety of cultural programs and impressive resident benefits, Indian Wells draws citizens and visitors alike with its upscale presence and smalltown environment.

Indian Wells is the smallest of the nine Coachella Valley cities with a population of just over 5,400. What it lacks in population it makes up for in luxury and prestige from fine dining options, relaxing spa treatments, lavish shopping, and country club benefits.

Drawing more than 450,000 visitors a year with the world-renowned BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells does a remarkable job at creating a sense of tranquility and relaxation throughout the city. Intelligent city planning and leadership have led Indian Wells to achieve its status as one of the premier residential resorts and vacation destinations in the United States.

Indian Wells is in the heart of Southern California’s Desert Resort communities, between La Quinta and Palm Desert, and just 20 minutes south of Palm Springs. Known to residents as an exceptional place to live, work and play with its many social activities, innovative city government, and one of the finest resident benefit programs in the nations.

Resident Perks

As mentioned above, Indian Wells offers one of the best resident benefit programs in the country. Play championship golf courses at Indian Wells Golf Resort and receive special rates and reserved tee times. With a property owners ID card, residents enjoy significant discounts on golf, tennis, food, merchandise, spa treatments, and resort hotel rooms.

The Indian Wells Community Garden is another added benefit to residents. In the garden, locals gather and create a space as diverse and unique as the people who live here. The garden creates a sense of community and connection with one another, a place to share advice and garden techniques. Whether it’s solely to grow flowers or a bountiful harvest of local vegetables, the community garden helps individuals and neighbors create access to fresh produce while making new friendships.

TENNIS ANYONE?

The BNP Paribas Open is an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event on the men’s tour and a WTA Premier event on the women’s tour held at the

Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Top-ranked men and woman tennis players compete for points and prize money. Except for the four Grand Slam events, the BNP Paribas Open is the most attended tennis tournament in the world.

The Indian Wells Tennis Garden is a premier tennis destination and hosts over 450,000 visitors each year in March alone! Celebrities from all over the globe come to watch live action, returning tour champions, and nail-biting matches.

With the stunning Santa Rosa Mountains to the west and wonderful springtime temperatures, BNP Paribas Open has become a must-see event not only for tennis aficionados but for those that want a wonderful afternoon where you can see top athletes in action. And with the recent massive renovation and addition of 20 permanent restaurants, guests can enjoy first-class dining overlooking the on-court action at both stadiums.

One thing is for certain, this critically acclaimed tennis landscape offers visitors and residents alike a memorable and unique tennis experience in the beautiful, sun-filled desert.
