Exotic Dreams Resort

Exotic Dreams is a 40-room lifestyle (swinger) resort on Warm Sands Drive, and the only clothing-optional resort in central Palm Springs that markets itself to mixed couples. That makes it the obvious choice for couples who want the lifestyle scene in town, and the wrong one for anyone who wants traditional naturism. Its recent reviews are split between regulars who like the crowd and guests who found the grounds neglected.

Who it’s for

Couples who both want a lifestyle resort, plus single women and, with conditions, single men. Every guest must be 21 or older. Visit Palm Springs lists it as a resort for swinging adults, and the resort’s own events page puts mutual consent, privacy and personal boundaries first. The pools are clothing-optional.

If you want nudity without a lifestyle scene, this is not the place. Mi Kasa in Desert Hot Springs and Glen Eden Sun Club farther west are the alternatives, and the couples guide explains the difference.

Resort passes

On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays a single man needs a sponsor: a member couple or a female member attending the same event. Prices don’t apply to special events, holidays or private parties. The resort sells passes through its booking engine and by phone, and it describes pass holders as members; ask what that involves when you book. Drinks during events are bring-your-own.

Rooms and grounds

The 40 rooms are standard, deluxe, mini-suite and suite, each decorated differently, and some are large apartment-style units. Room views are labeled Party Pool, EZ Pool, Quiet Pool or Garden, which gives a fair idea of how the three pools are used. There are two hot tubs, poolside cabanas, a barbecue, outdoor lockers and guest showers. Rooms have air conditioning, a refrigerator and satellite TV; safes are in some rooms only and must be requested.

A continental breakfast runs from 8 to 10 am. The resort’s site says weekend breakfast resumes at the end of the winter season, so check if you are visiting in winter. Parking on the property is free. Room rates appear only in the booking engine.

Where it is

526 South Warm Sands Drive, across the street from the old Terra Cotta at 555, and about five minutes from downtown Palm Springs. The office is open 9 am to 10 pm Thursday to Saturday and 9 am to 5 pm Sunday to Wednesday.

What recent guests say

Tripadvisor shows ★ 2.8 from only five reviews (October 27, 2026), too few to rely on. Two one-star reviews from February 2026 describe green pools, dirty common areas, plumbing problems and too few staff for the size of the place. A two-star review from November 2025 says an advertised party and DJ didn’t happen. The two five-star reviews, from April and May 2026, praise the crowd, the music and newly renovated rooms. Read the newest reviews before you book, and ask about pool maintenance.

How it compares

Choose Sea Mountain Inn in Desert Hot Springs for a lifestyle resort with mineral pools and a far longer review record (★ 4.5 from 450). Choose Hotel O2 if you want a social pool day with couples-only events but a stated ban on sexual conduct in the pool club. Choose Mi Kasa for clothing-optional hot springs with no lifestyle scene at all.
