Staying in Indio
Indio sits in the Coachella Valley and is best known for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Stagecoach Country Music Festival, along with the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival. It is also a centre for date farming. Beyond the festival grounds, visitors find golf courses, the Coachella Valley History Museum and the Indio Performing Arts Center, with Joshua Tree National Park and the Salton Sea within reach for a day out. The city works well as a base for Palm Springs, La Quinta and the rest of the valley. The larger houses suit groups and families sharing a pool and kitchen, the 5-star villas with jacuzzi and casino facilities suit couples or friends, and the Marriott property, with its 24-hour front desk, business centre and fitness centre, is the practical pick for a short business stay.

Getting there and around
