Miramonte Indian Wells Resort and Spa is a mid-sized resort in Indian Wells, close to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. It has 215 rooms and is an upscale hotel with a golf course next door, a poolside bar, a terrace and spa treatments. Two outdoor pools offer cabanas, loungers and umbrellas, Spa Rosa provides the spa services, and Grapefruit Basil, the on-site Californian restaurant, serves breakfast through dinner. A firepit and garden, a 24-hour gym with yoga classes, bike rentals and an electric car charging station fill out the facilities, and there is shopping on site, dry cleaning and meeting space. Rooms have air conditioning, 42-inch televisions, refrigerators, coffee and tea makers and laptop-compatible safes. Guests rate the hotel highly, with the staff frequently praised. Notes for planning: self-parking carries a charge, dogs and cats up to 50 pounds are accepted for a per-stay fee, and rollaway beds and cribs are not available, so families with infants should check before booking.
The scale is the draw. With 215 rooms the Miramonte feels more manageable than the mega-resorts nearby, and the layout makes it easy to move between pool, spa and restaurant without long walks. It suits travelers who want a resort experience with a calmer, more personal feel, and its position next to a golf course makes it a natural choice for golfers who prefer not to stay at a large golf resort. For the March tennis tournament, the proximity to the Tennis Garden is a significant convenience.
Who should stay
Couples, golf and tennis fans, and travelers who plan to use the spa and the pools but want a quieter alternative to a big family resort. Because rollaways and cribs are not available, families with babies or extra children in the room will need to plan around that, and the minimum check-in age is 18. Check-in runs from 4 p.m. to midnight, with check-out before noon. Because breakfast is cooked to order at a surcharge, and parking and incidental charges add up, compare the final price with nearby resorts.
Timing
Winter and spring are the busiest and most expensive times, and the two weeks of the tennis tournament in March are the peak, so reserve far ahead if your dates match. Summer brings better rates and much quieter pools, though the heat is intense in the afternoons. For a larger resort with a water park, compare the Grand Hyatt Indian Wells; for a classic big-resort alternative with golf and spa, look at the Renaissance Esmeralda nearby.
Miramonte is the mid-sized, spa-minded choice in Indian Wells. If spa time is the goal, book treatments when you book the room, because popular slots fill in high season, and ask whether any packages combine a treatment with dining or pool cabanas.
