The name is earned, not borrowed. ShangriLa is a residential retreat built around open-air living, where the defining gesture is a generous deck fitted with both a hot tub and a cowboy pool. The layout favors the outdoors as much as the indoors, encouraging a rhythm shaped by long soaks, unhurried mornings, and the kind of slow unwinding that only happens when there is genuinely nowhere else you need to be.

The property accommodates guests in a comfortable, well-appointed residence with the essentials of a home rather than the formality of a hotel. Inside, the spaces are designed for ease, with a full kitchen that invites you to cook at your own pace and living areas arranged for gathering or simply stretching out. The real draw, though, lives outside. The deck is the heart of ShangriLa, a sprawling outdoor platform where the hot tub sits ready for evening soaks under open sky and the cowboy pool offers a cooler counterpoint during warmer hours. Together they create a kind of personal water terrace, equal parts relaxation and play.

Days here settle into a natural cadence. You wake without urgency, carry coffee to the deck, and let the morning take shape around you. Afternoons drift between the cowboy pool and whatever reading or conversation finds you. Evenings gather around the hot tub, where the sky opens up and the temperature drops just enough to make the warm water feel like a reward. The kitchen means you can eat on your own terms, grilling or assembling something simple without ever needing to leave the property.

ShangriLa is not a place of elaborate programming or curated itineraries. Its appeal is more fundamental than that. It is a residence designed to let the outdoors do the work, where the hot tub and cowboy pool are not amenities so much as the reason you came. You leave with the particular calm that comes from days spent mostly outside, mostly in water, mostly unscheduled. That is the promise the name makes, and the deck delivers.

What we love about this stay

There's a particular kind of quiet that only the desert knows how to hold, and this Joshua Tree retreat leans all the way into it. The design walks a line between modern restraint and boho warmth—luxurious textures alongside carefully placed artifacts—without ever tipping into trying too hard. It feels like someone with genuine taste built themselves a place to disappear into. The wooden deck extends the living space into the landscape in a way that blurs the threshold between shelter and sky, and the cowboy pool and hot tub sit right there in it, unshowy but exactly right. What stays with you isn't any single detail but the cumulative effect: desert silence, considered interiors, and the sense that you've stepped just far enough outside ordinary life to remember what stillness actually feels like.
