Forget Florida—try Palm Springs, California. It’s mid-century modern architecture meets desert heat. Winter days hit 23°C (73°F), and the dry air makes it feel even warmer.
You can hike in the morning, float in a mineral hot spring by noon, and sip a martini by a pool shaped like a kidney bean by evening. It’s a little retro, a little ridiculous, and completely wonderful.
Fun fact: Palm Springs was a secret getaway for Old Hollywood stars like Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe. They knew the value of a warm, private escape. You can stay in some of their exact mid-century homes, now rented on Airbnb.
