The Romance of a Moroccan Desert Hideaway
Korakia Pensione has hosted visiting artists and musicians since it was a Moroccan hideaway owned in the 1920s by painter Gordon Coutts to recreate his life in Tangier, next door to a Mediterranean villa owned by 1930s silent screen star J. Carol Naish. Now a 1.5-acre petite resort in the heart of Palm Springs, Korakia is a hidden oasis of secret gardens, pools, lounges, and fountains among 16 stunning Mediterranean villas and 12 exotic Moroccan villas.
Begin your day with a relaxing breakfast in our Moroccan courtyard; take traditional mint tea and lounge with old and new friends near our fire pits or in the library, and greet a cloudless desert sky with morning yoga. Up for adventure? We'll guide you through sacred grounds in Tahquitz Canyon, past waterfalls, and ease your muscles with a massage when you return. Stroll around the villas in the evening after the ritual lighting of our Moroccan lanterns and you may wonder just where you are.
