Korakia Pensione

My wife and I have been visiting Korakia for over 20 years, which probably tells you all you need to know. It's our happy place, nestled under the San Joaquin Mountains and a 5-10 minuet walk to Downtown Palm Springs. The peace and relaxation here is the best. No TVs, no telephones (although guests are increasingly putting their smart phones on speaker), no kids, so it is not for everyone, but as a romantic spa getaway there's little to beat it. Service is friendly and there when you need it, breakfast is always fresh and local, it's quiet (except the recent addition of ambient music at the pool, which is not needed) and you can lose yourself in the sound of nature and a good book. Location, ambiance, fire pits and old movies at night. Just perfect.

Book it!! Korakia is the best weekend getaway. It's so relaxing and romantic. The staff is also wonderful and the breakfast is delicious. My favorite hotel in Palm Springs. Highly recommend.

I’ve just returned home from my seventh visit to Korakia, and it remains magical as ever. It’s such a beautiful and tranquil environment, the rooms are so thoughtfully designed and decorated, and both pools are fabulous. The sweet little birds running around the property always make me smile. Alexandra and all of the Korakia girls are always so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The rosemary bouquet, fruit kabobs, and jasmine hand towels are such great touches. I cannot wait to go back for my eighth stay! 🐦‍⬛

Eight years since we first discovered this gem and while there have been some tasteful improvements, Korakia has not lost one bit of its charm. This time we stayed on the Moroccan side, and it was just beautiful. The room was clean and charming. Korakia is one of those places you want to tell people about, but you also don't want it getting overrun with tourists; it's so special.

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Korakia, and it was hands down one of the most beautiful trips of our relationship. The Moroccan inspired design and the impeccable grounds make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. The service was so thoughtful and genuine that we felt at home the moment we arrived. Our accommodations were stunning—truly more than we could have ever hoped for! What we loved most was the balance: it feels like a secluded sanctuary, yet it’s located so close to town that we could easily bounce around and explore. Everyone was incredibly friendly, making the whole experience seamless. I highly recommend discovering the magic of this place for yourself it’s a rare gem that I’ll be thinking about for a long time."
