About Rancho Mirage, California

Recognized for its elegant ambience and unique luxury lifestyle, Rancho Mirage is known for its exclusive gated communities, beautiful golf courses, and superb tennis facilities. Fine dining abounds and the #1 Bentley and one of the top Rolls Royce automobile dealerships in the U.S. are located in the City.

A luxurious lifestyle meets a playful landscape in Rancho Mirage. Several past U.S. Presidents, including Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, and Barack Obama, have unplugged here, finding peace amid the palm trees and earning the city the nickname “playground of presidents.” And it truly is a playground. Kids can explore more than 80 hands-on exhibits at the Children’s Museum of the Desert; couples can reach for the stars at the city’s new state-of-the-art observatory, where a research-grade CDK 300 telescope allows visitors to gaze into distant galaxies; and families can shop, dine, and catch a flick all in the same day at Greater Palm Springs’ only waterfront shopping and entertainment hub, The River.

Rancho Mirage boasts world-class resorts, including the Valley’s only five-star lodging property, The Ritz-Carlton. The Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort is a favored destination for successful Hollywood business leaders and their families. The Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa, with its spectacular views of the snow-capped San Jacinto Mountains and superb golf courses, is adjacent to the Mission Hills Country Club, the home to the premier ladies professional golf tournament, the ANA Inspiration (formerly the Kraft Nabisco Championship) for over 40 years.
