Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage, California

Situated on a sprawling 200-acre property along Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage, California, Sunnylands is truly a stunning destination. Once the private estate of Walter and Leonore Annenberg, it is now managed by The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving its legacy.

The gardens are impeccably designed, bursting with desert beauty, while the mid-century modern architecture offers a cool, timeless aesthetic. Pops of signature pink throughout the property add a playful yet elegant flair that’s pure California charm.

If you visit, be sure to book an official tour in advance — it’s the only way to experience the interiors of this historic estate. And don't leave without picking up a copy of their cookbook; it's the perfect memento to remember the magic of Sunnylands.

My pictures are a wee bit old from 2017, but they showcase the magic of Sunnylands.
