You've got the Airbnb booked. The group chat is going. Now you need an actual plan. The good news: a Palm Springs bachelorette weekend almost plans itself once you understand the vibe. The bad news: most itineraries you'll find online treat Palm Springs like a city with a packed nightlife calendar. It's not that. It's something better.
This is a real 3-day itinerary built around what actually makes a Palm Springs weekend special — long pool days, great local food, the kind of slow luxurious day drinking that recharges you instead of wrecking you, and a couple of genuinely memorable activities that you can only do here. Your Airbnb is the main character. Everything else is a supporting role.
Before You Arrive
Set Up Your Airbnb Like a Pro
Book your Party Wagon PS rentals before you arrive. We deliver a margarita machine, roller grill and 62qt wheeled cooler right to your door so day one starts perfectly. No grocery runs for ice, no scrambling. Just show up and party.

Check In and Receive Your Party Wagon Delivery
Your rentals are waiting at the door (or we'll time the delivery to your arrival — just let us know when you book). Get the margarita machine plugged in, the cooler stocked, and the roller grill ready. The Airbnb is officially open for business.
Late Afternoon
First Pool Hours
This is it. First frozen drinks of the weekend, everyone in the pool, mountains in every direction. Don't overthink it. The late afternoon desert light is genuinely one of the most beautiful things in the world and you're sitting right in it.
Evening
Dinner at Lola Rose
Lola Rose is the perfect first night out — great food, great vibe, works well for a bachelorette group without requiring a huge production. Get a reservation in advance. After dinner, come back to the Airbnb and keep the night going your way. This is how Palm Springs evenings work and they're genuinely wonderful for it.
Morning
Coffee Run to Mentosa
Someone does a Mentosa run. It's a ritual at this point. Mentosa Coffee has the best coffee and matcha in Palm Springs — pick up orders for everyone and bring them back to the pool. Slow morning, good drinks, no agenda yet.
Mid-Morning
Drag Brunch at Boozehounds
Boozehounds is genuinely great for a bachelorette group — drag brunch with a fun rowdy energy that's perfect for the occasion. Book ahead, especially on weekends. This is the kind of only-in-Palm-Springs experience that everyone's glad they did.
Early Afternoon
Star Home Tour Through Movie Colony
Walk or drive through Movie Colony and Old Las Palmas — the historic neighborhoods where celebrities have been vacationing since the Rat Pack era. The architecture is incredible. Google which streets and homes to look for before you go. It's a completely free, low-effort activity that gets the group out for a couple hours and results in genuinely great photos.
Afternoon
The Main Pool Session
This is the centerpiece of the whole weekend. Get back to the Airbnb, slushies going, roller grill loaded with taquitos and hot dogs, everyone in the pool. No plans, no schedule, nowhere to be. The desert afternoon is yours. This is exactly what you came for.
Evening
Dinner on Palm Canyon
Head down to Palm Canyon Drive for dinner. Gabino's Creperie is great for a more casual group dinner, or explore what's open. Palm Canyon has plenty of options and the evening stroll is a nice change of pace after a day at the pool.
Day 2 Local Tip
The afternoons in Palm Springs are when the light hits the San Jacinto mountains and turns them golden. Wherever you are around 4-5pm, stop and look. It's one of those things you don't forget.
Morning
Mentosa Coffee (Again, Obviously)
At this point it's tradition. One last Mentosa run. Sit outside with your coffees and take it all in before the day gets going.
Mid-Morning
Shopping at Mojave Flea and Market Market
Mojave Flea Trading Post is an indoor market full of local artists and makers — great for picking up something unique and supporting local businesses. Then hit Market Market for vintage shopping. Budget time here because nobody leaves quickly. Both spots are the kind of thing you can only find in a place like Palm Springs and they make for great last-morning energy.
Lunch
Savory Crepes at Gabino's
If you haven't been yet, Gabino's Creperie is the perfect last lunch. Savory crepes, great spot on Palm Canyon, easy for a group. End the trip on a high note.
Afternoon
Final Pool Hours Before Checkout
Squeeze in one last pool session before you have to give the Airbnb back. We'll pick up your Party Wagon rentals so you don't have to think about it. Just enjoy the last few hours in the desert sun.
Optional Add-Ons if You Have More Time
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. If anyone in the group wants one big activity, this is it. You ride from the desert floor up to the top of San Jacinto Peak and it goes from 90°F desert to pine trees and snow in about ten minutes. One of the more surreal experiences you can have here and worth the trip.
Agua Caliente Casino night. Genuinely underrated as a bachelorette activity. Set a fun budget for the group, make an evening of it. It's one of those things that sounds like a random idea and ends up being a highlight.
Spa day at Two Bunch Palms or Séc-he Spa. If the group wants a proper spa afternoon, both of these are world-class. Book well in advance for groups, especially on weekends.
