How To Take The Perfect Instagram This Weekend

by Stephanie Montes

One of the best reasons to trek out to Coachella for the weekend (aside from the incredible performances and lifelong memories) is none other than top-tier Instagram opps. But if we’re being totally honest, bouncing around from one picturesque spot to another can be exhausting. Keep your next trip to the desert high on visual impact and low on stress by sprinkling in some of the most Insta-worthy beauty and wellness spots in Palm Springs. Follow us as we load up our Buick Encore and head off to the prettiest places fashion girls go when they need to do it for the ‘gram and squeeze in a bit of R&R.

Offering alternative treatments such as breath work and Reiki, Two Bunch Palms spa and resort is the sort of hippie haven you'd expect to find in the desert. An aqua reflexology session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated while also serving as the perfect experience for your next Instagram story.

Our favorite part about checking into the Miramonte Indian Wells Resort & Spa is the coin you're given. Toss it in the wishing well before starting your treatment (aka, photo opp number one). Now that you've made your wish, indulge in a hot stone massage, oxygen facial, a wine bath (aka photo opp number two) or an essential-oil-infused rain shower (aka, photo opp number three).

Probably the most Instagram-famous spot of all, the Integratron sound bath is a favorite among fashion girls and wellness junkies. This mysterious 38-foot high, 55-foot wide wooden dome is described as an "electrostatic generator for the purpose of rejuvenation and time travel." Intrigued? Your followers will be, too. Pick a mat and make yourself comfortable while listening to the piercing (in a good way) sounds of crystal water bowls playing.

From the second you step onto the property, the Spanish architecture at Spa La Quinta transports you to another world—perfect for switching things up on your feed. If the desert-inspired treatments (Glistening Agave Body Glaze, Sacred Stone Therapy) aren't Insta-worthy enough, even your dog's account can rack up likes, courtesy of the in-room pet massage service.

Not only do the desert hot springs in the area (there are 14, actually) increase blood circulation, stimulate metabolism, reduce muscle injury and balance your body's levels, they're the perfect place to show off your favorite bikini.
