WELCOME to the Greater
Palm Springs Oasis. A collection of nine distinctive cities offering an unparalleled sense of escape, adventure, recreation, and relaxation. A welcome breather from the fast pace of everyday life. A year-round vacation destination enjoyed by more than five million annual visitors, the Palm Springs Oasis is home to approximately 450,000 full-time residents. However, “snow-birds” (part-time residents who reside primarily in northern climates) can cause the population to swell to nearly 600,000 in the winter months. As the Premier Destination Resource, we’re committed to providing you with the best, most useful information to ensure you get the most out of your stay – whether on vacation, business, looking for a home or simply enjoying the day. On the pages that follow, you will discover why we love to live here, and why so many visitors choose Greater Palm Springs as their vacation getaway. We’re glad to have you with us! We hope you enjoy your stay and come back often.
