Villa Barhi | Private 2-Acre Desert Palazzo

Discover a different side of the Palm Springs desert at Villa Barhi, a private Mediterranean-inspired palazzo set among date palms on more than two acres. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, this secluded desert estate offers an oversized saltwater pool and spa, expansive outdoor living spaces, mountain views, and exceptional privacy—all just 20 minutes from downtown Palm Springs.

The heart of Villa Barhi is its spectacular outdoor setting. Refresh in the oversized saltwater pool, complete with waterfalls, an integrated spa, and a shallow in-water lounging area, or spend the afternoon soaking up the desert sun from one of the many lounge areas. An expansive covered patio provides plenty of shade for relaxing and outdoor dining. As evening approaches, watch the sun disappear behind the San Jacinto Mountains before gathering around the fire and enjoying the clear desert sky beneath the palms.

Inside, Villa Barhi is equally spacious and inviting. The home features a gourmet kitchen, multiple living and dining areas, a fireplace, and a private office, giving your group plenty of room to gather together or spread out. The villa accommodates up to eight guests across four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.

The generously sized primary suite features a California King Sleep Number bed, oversized walk-in closet, and private bath with a Jacuzzi tub, separate shower with body sprays, and dual vanities. A junior primary suite offers a King Sleep Number bed, walk-in closet, and private en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms each feature a Queen bed and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with dual vanities.

Set within a fully fenced 2⅓-acre date grove and accessed through a private motorized gate, Villa Barhi offers the rare feeling of getting away from it all without giving up convenient access to the Coachella Valley. Downtown Palm Springs is approximately 20 minutes away, with Acrisure Arena, world-class golf, hiking, dining, shopping, and the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals all within easy reach.

Up to two dogs are welcome at Villa Barhi, and equestrian guests will find an on-site horse corral accommodating up to six horses.

Whether your plans involve long afternoons in the pool, dinner beneath the covered patio, a quiet weekend among the date palms, or exploring everything the Palm Springs area has to offer, Villa Barhi provides a private and memorable setting for your desert stay.

Amazing Castle in the Palm Springs

A great castle oasis, very detailed and large and immaculate. Perfect place for large gatherings and family reunions. Definitely worth the price. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. I hope to stay again in the future.

Luxury Retreat - Better than a Hotel!

This beautiful villa was all we hoped for. The hosts were lovely, welcoming and helpful from the moment we booked it. The pool and spa are so peaceful and luxurious and so much room for dining, cocktailing, barbecuing. We loved watching the sunrise and sunset on the patio surrounded by beautiful desert flowers. The house is so elegant with comfortable beds and all of the amenities. It is in a very secluded area and the gate makes it very private and safe. Highly recommend this villa!

We absolutely enjoyed our time at Villa Barhi. It is a beautiful venue! The owners provided us with an introductory tour of the property that answered our questions. They advised us that we could contact them at any time with questions and/or concerns. Although we did not contact them, we appreciated the opportunity. The only surprise was the unpaved road to the venue (1/4 mile approximately).

Sons New Years Eve Wedding in the Desert

Steve and Tim were so great to work with. They met us at the property for check in and showed us how to use the pool equipment and gave us a tour of this beautiful property! My son got married at an Estate in Thousand Palms so this house was ideal for my family. We were 2 miles from the venue. The house and property are stunning. Can’t wait to stay here again when we have time to relax and use the beautiful pool and outdoor area!

Awesome Property

Can't say enough good things about this beautiful house, the property and the hosts. A little off the beaten path in Thousand Palms, but just 20-25 minutes straight shot into Palm Springs or Palm Desert area. The seclusion and privacy is part of the charm because you really feel like you're in your own little world. The house itself is spectacular and large enough to accommodate a big family, though it was just me and my friend this time. Pool and spa is fairly new, less than 2 years old I think. Even has accommodations for horses, if that's you're thing. Steven the host was great, friendly, responsive and patiently answered a couple of dumb questions I had after we arrived :) Really, you can't go wrong with this property, particularly if you want a little privacy and space away from the craziness of Palm Springs, but want to be close enough to easily get to shopping, restaurants, etc., when you feel like it. Highly recommended!

What a great property!

This was an incredible experience from start to finish! We arrived to be greeted by hosts Tim and Steven. They gave us a complete tour of the property, explaining how everything worked and giving us tips on making the best use of our time here. The property is stunning. From the beautiful landscaping to the spacious interior (we were coached to play Marco Polo to find each other because of the expansive interior) to the thoughtful provisioning in each room, we felt like we were at a top-of-the-line resort. The kitchen is VERY complete, with far more tableware than we could ever use. The appliances are high-end and in great condition (we cook a lot!). The covered backyard areas were perfect for our evening game times, with plenty of comfortable seating and several propane heaters to take the chill off the desert night. At the end of each night, we retired to the opulent bedrooms (the master bath is larger than our first apartment) with their comfy beds. I can't imagine a better experience. Our only disappointment was that we had to leave at the end of our reservation! We will certainly return!

WOW! AWESOME FIND!

We scored when finding this place!! From the moment we drove up, we knew it was going to fit us perfectly. The date palms were the icing on the cake. Just a beautiful serene, fully fenced 2.5 acres, with a perfectly appointed veranda which we used often. It was a working trip for us, so coming back to this home at 3-4am, and being able to enjoy the serenity after some sleep...seriously, perfect. And the inside! Wow! Feels like a palace, with every room perfectly appointed! The furnishings and decor are truly spectacular!! Nice ambiance, and in the evening, with the lighting, the art takes on another level of beauty!! I thoroughly enjoyed the master bedroom. Felt like a princess👸 Even learned how to correctly use a duvet cover..😁 We 100% felt very relaxed here, which says a ton while on a working trip. If felt like more of a vacation. The kitchen is beautiful, and has everything you need, and then some. If you like to hike, there are great trails you can walk to right from the home. Steven and Tim made sure our stay was to our utmost satisfaction, and were there for us whenever we had a question. You guys rock!! Honestly, we've stayed at quite a few rental homes, and this is at the top of our list! Can't wait to come back for a non working trip! Thank you for opening your slice of paradise for others to enjoy🤗🤗
