From the moment my now-husband and I visited Sacred Sands, we knew it was what we were looking for in a wedding venue. We continued to shop around, but every other place we saw, we thought how it stacked up to Sacred Sands and nothing else could compare. This place is simply gorgeous, so relaxing, and provides a perfect backdrop for a wedding (or even just a desert getaway).

I had the pleasure of filming a wedding here and found it to be an absolutely magical experience in every way. The landscape and architecture is transcendent and expansive. The whole event felt otherworldly and profound. There are many places to sit and soak in all in or walk to explore views.

A magical and serene experience. Close enough to the main highway for essentials but far enough away for a nice quiet getaway. You can hike right outside your door or try one of the many trails available close by. The outdoor tub underneath the stars adds to the mythical adventure.

The rooms have every detail done perfectly. What's great is the location right next to Joshua tree which provides you the park landscape from your backyard. There's not a better place to stay period in the Joshua Tree area!
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Jennifer P.
Incredibly zen. When you walk into the beautifully decorated rooms, the scent of eucalyptus fills the air and you are immediately transported to a sanctuary. Each room has a bed, shower with two heads (plus two jets), it's own private patio, outdoors bed, and tub.
