Welcome ... To The Center Of Everything
EL PASEO EMBODIES style and elegance. From electrified Thursday-night art walks to the sophisticated Saturday evening wine and music series in The Gardens to the glitz and glamour of Fashion Week and specialty stores offering dynamic shopping experiences, El Paseo embraces gracious living.
Offering more than 250 retailers, renowned restaurants (many with alfresco dining), professional services (day spas, interior designers, and more), and a scenic backdrop that inspires, this mile-long strip in the heart of Palm Desert turns heads. It’s a dynamic boulevard buzzing with locally owned boutiques, prestigious fashion retailers presenting designer casual and formal flair, dazzling jewelers, exceptional art, and inspired home décor.
Enjoy a latte or a cup of tea at a sidewalk café or bakery before setting out to explore El Paseo. Stop for lunch at any of two dozen dining establishments. Explore some more, shop, then relax over dinner and dessert or a cocktail served on a mountain-view terrace. Look for bright yellow Courtesy Carts, affording effortless access to your desired location as they whisk you from one end of the street to the other. Experience the energy through the eyes of local experts, exuding the panache to make it all happen. Soak in the culture of El Paseo through sculptures that line the median, each one selected by the City of Palm Desert Art in Public Places program.
This chic destination, situated mid-valley, also offers ideal proximity to renowned resorts, attractions (such as The Living Desert Zoo & Botanical Garden), celebrated public golf courses, performing arts venues (including McCallum Theatre), and picturesque drives deep into the Santa Rosa & San Jacinto Mountains National Monument.
Embrace, enjoy, and indulge!
