TRAVEL NOTES

1 UNWIND IN A PASTEL PARADISE

For dreamy interiors, pink exteriors and bold blue skies, head to Sands Hotel and Spa in Indian Wells, California. The 46 rooms designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard, including two suites and one presidential suite, are decorated using, “a series of different colour combinations, bespoke furniture and custom textiles”. Think sugary pastel mixed with natural shades, bold monochrome patterns and smart luxury details. The pink painted accommodation surrounds the pool, with its palm trees, sofas and loungers creating an idyllic scene. The restaurant and spa have a Moroccan influence meanwhile; the latter a tranquil and calm space offering a range of rejuvenating treatments. sandshotelandspa.com
