Rancho Mirage

The rich and famous of Rancho Mirage live in beautiful estates and patronize elegant resorts and expensive restaurants. Although many mansions here are concealed behind the walls of gated communities and country clubs, the grandest of them all, Sunnylands, the Annenberg residence, is open to the public. The city's golf courses host many high-profile tournaments. You'll also find some of the desert’s fanciest resorts—as well as plenty of peace and quiet.
