Indian Wells is home to about 5,200 people lucky enough to call this beautiful city home. Located between Palm Desert and the resort town of La Quinta, its popularity began early after catching the attention of Hollywood moguls, celebrities, and U.S. Presidents.
Indian Wells is best known for having opened the area’s first golf courses. Both The Eldorado Country Club and the Indian Wells Country Club opened in the 1950s. The Bob Hope Desert Classic was introduced at the Eldorado Club in 1960 and was won by a young Arnold Palmer.
Perhaps the most famous of all Indian Wells residents was President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He frequented the desert often, playing golf and eventually purchasing a home for him and his wife Mamie in the Eldorado Country Club.
Today, Indian Wells continues to be a favorite global business and vacation gathering spot for executives, celebrities, athletes, and fans of world-class golf, tennis, art, and music entertainment.
The homes and properties of Indian Wells are stunning and steeped in luxury. From custom classics and inspired mid-centuries to elegant contemporaries, the homes there are as beautiful as any imaginable.
Equally impressive are the neighborhoods, lush with vibrant gardens and each oriented around a private golf course, tennis stadium, or luxury spa. The spectacular vistas of the Santa Rosa Mountains make it hard to believe that Indian Wells is real, and not just the backdrop for an adventure movie.
Indian Wells is home to four luxury hotel resorts, featuring acclaimed events, fine dining, spas, and recreation. The Hyatt Indian Wells Spa and Resort (above) offers golf, tennis, pools, and award-winning spa services.
The Indian Wells Golf Resort offers two top-ranked 18-hole public courses.
For tennis buffs, the 122-acre Indian Wells Tennis Garden, owned by Larry Ellison of Oracle, is home to the BNP Paribas Open, the Indian Wells Arts Festival, and the Indian Wells Music Festival.
The BNP Paribas Open is a two-week combined event held at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. When it comes to tennis championships and venues, the Indian Wells Tennis Garden is among the world’s best. The beauty of the venue, delicious food, its majestic setting, and perfect weather make it one of the most attended of all tennis championships.
The BNP Paribas Open held each March is the city’s largest and most popular international event. Larry Ellison of Oracle fame purchased the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and invested millions of dollars in updated amenities and the construction of a third tennis stadium, making it the second largest tennis venue in the United States.
Every year, the world’s best tennis players take center court, slamming and smashing their way through the ranks of hard-hitting competitors. Court-side spectators are riveted to their seats as their favorite players battle it out on the courts. 2018 was especially exciting with both Venus Williams and Serena Williams meeting each other on the courts at Indian Wells for the first time in many years. For tennis fans, 2019 will be just as exciting.
