Tommy Bahama opens its first-ever resort
Tommy Bahama is diving deeper into hospitality.
The lifestyle apparel brand, which has long operated restaurants and bars in some of its stores, will open its first destination resort on Nov. 1. Located in Indian Wells, Calif., the Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa is designed to offer a visitors a blend of island living and desert luxury that reflects its Palm Springs setting. Future resorts are planned in other locations.
The 11-acre Miramonte property is set amid an olive tree grove, fragrant citrus and flower gardens. It has 215 guestrooms with five luxury villa suites, three saltwater pools, private cabanas, a 12,000-sq.-ft. spa and a retail store featuring “exclusive’ products. The on-site restaurant offers coastal-inspired dishes.
In addition, the property boasts 35,000 sq. ft. of flexible indoor/outdoor meeting and event space, along with offsite amenities such as world-class golfing at the nearby Indian Wells Golf Resort.
"We're excited to open the Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa and bring our relaxed lifestyle brand to the luxury travel industry," said Doug Wood, CEO of Tommy Bahama. "With this resort, we're crafting an entirely new concept of leisure, fusing the essence of our brand with the unparalleled beauty of this desert oasis and creating a destination where every moment feels like a timeless escape."
