The Villa Resort is rich with history!

Nestled among majestic date palms, The Villa Resort's adobe buildings are among the oldest structures in the Coachella Valley. Dating back to the early 19th century, this charming complex once served as a Butterfield's Overland Stagecoach stop between Yuma, Arizona, and Los Angeles.

Later in the 19th century, one of the valley's pioneer families planted a 48-acre date palm grove, in which The Villa Resort is still situated. The history-rich adobe complex now houses Butterfield's Adobe, our fine dining room, and our poolside cafe, your choice for libations and casual dining.

In 1951, the Elizabeth Arden Corporation purchased and developed the site as a "beauty farm", the first in the Valley. Although The Villa Resort has changed ownership since then, it continues to serve as a resort and spa.

Today The Villa Resort, under the loving care of owners Bob Grinchuk and Reuel Olin, has recaptured its lustrous beauty.
