Coachella parties only seem to get bigger and better each year. In fact, for some people, the parties are the main draw of Coachella weekend. In fact, many people that cannot secure a ticket to Coachella opt to spend the weekend in the desert anyway, hopping between pool parties, day parties and after parties.
And even if you were lucky enough to get a Coachella ticket, there is no better way to start the day than at a pool party. Most of the hotels in the Palm Springs area host some sort of pool party, most of which are free for hotel guests, hile other parties charge an admission. See the Coachella party list below for specifics.

Where: Private Estate in Indio, just south of Coachella. Desert Nights has not yet been announced. Stay tuned. #HotelRevolve will be at the ARRIVE Hotel 1551 N Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs, CA 92262
Why: To put it simply, the Revolve party is the best Coachella event I’ve been to. I attended last year with a media pass and was blown away by how much money, design and effort was put into the party.
For starters, it was at a beautiful estate complete with a massive pool, blooming desert wildflowers, an artificial lake and massive, lush green lawn. There were several bars (all free!) serving a variety of drinks, including the most refreshing and best-tasting coconut cocktail we’ve ever tried. My girlfriend was ecstatic to get her hair braided (again, all for free) and catch a glimpse of her favorite blogger.
The party was hosted by ASAP Rocky, and unlike other parties were the host is no where to be found, ASAP was walking around the party chatting with everyone.
What was really cool about the Revolve Desert House was that everyone was having fun. At many of the brand-sponsored Coachella events, the attendees seem very stuffy and don’t really let loose (it is supposed to be a party after all!)
But at Revolve, EVERYONE was having a good time… dancing, jumping in the pool, riding the giant slide etc. But it wasn’t Wet Republic douchey, it was cool. Imagine that your friend had a house party, but instead of a house, it was at a massive estate in the desert, and instead of your high school band playing 90s throwback songs, ASAP Rocky was performing. And instead of heading back to your parent’s house when the party gets broken up early by the cops, you leave for Coachella when things wind down.
It really is the best way to start Saturday or Sunday!

Why: Desert Gold is one of the original Coachella weekend pool parties (this is its 9th year!) and takes place at the iconic Ace Hotel, a Palm Springs landmark. Unlike other events during the weekend, Desert Gold puts good music and art first… before brand sponsorships, corny celebrity appearances and social media influencers… in short; this is a real pool party with a great vibe.
Also you’ll be helping the local community, this year, the Ace is donating proceeds from two of their drink items to the Old Town Artisan Studio in La Quinta, which serves adults and youth from throughout the entire Coachella Valley with arts education and instruction in areas like clay, fused glass and other mediums.

Why: If you haven’t stayed or partied at the Saguaro, then you’ve been missing one of the coolest venues in the Coachella Valley. Every June and August, the Saguaro hosts Splash House, which has developed into one of the best festivals in the Southern California circuit. Splash House wouldn’t be what it is today without the Saguaro.
Almost every room has a view of the pool, thus the balconies are just as social as the pool deck. The vibrant blue, red and yellow colors make this one of the most iconic hotels in the California desert. In short, it seems like the Saguaro was purpose built for pleasure and pool parties. This is the perfect place to pregame before heading out to Polo Fields for the festival.
