Desert Island

Luxury Condo Living in Rancho Mirage, CA

With 226 unique vantage points, no two balconies at Desert Island see the Coachella Valley quite the same way. Some face sunrise over the Santa Rosa Mountains. Others stretch across the lake or curve gently around the golf course. Each residence features floor-to-ceiling glass, spacious layouts(1,500–5,000+ sq. ft.), and a private perch in the sky.

Built in 1973, Desert Island remains one of the valley’s most unexpected enclaves—a high-rise community on a 25-acre island, surrounded by a shimmering 26-acre lake and championship golf course. The gated setting feels peaceful yet social, offering heated pools, pickleball courts, a fitness center, paddle boats, catch-and-release fishing, and a warm community of residents who gather for walks, book clubs, and balcony sunsets.

At Desert Island, furry friends are welcome—just note that HOA rules allow one dog per unit and up to two cats. Each residence includes one assigned parking space and a storage locker in the garage (managed by the HOA and not transferable with the sale). Tandem and golf-cart spaces are available for an additional fee and often have a waiting list. Each building also provides uncovered visitor parking—perfect for an extra car or a friend stopping by for sunset cocktails.

Located at the intersection of Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra Drive—across from Eisenhower Medical Center and Sunnylands, and just minutes from El Paseo, Desert Island offers rare vertical living with low-maintenance ease and views worth falling in love with. HOA dues include cable, Wi-Fi, water, gas, trash, and more, making this one of the most effortless and scenic ways to live in Rancho Mirage.
