Inside Meridian Collection: Private Pools, Pickleball, and the Desert on Your Own Terms

40 SYL Twins 6830 Indian Cove Rd Joshua Tree CA

There’s a version of Joshua Tree that involves sharing a tiny Airbnb bathroom with five people and realizing the nearest grocery store is forty minutes away. That is not the Meridian Collection version.

We built four brand-new luxury villas specifically for groups who want the real high desert experience — the silence, the boulders, the sky — without giving up the things that make a trip actually enjoyable.

Private Pools

Each villa comes with its own private pool. Not a shared community pool. Not a hot tub. A full pool, yours for the duration of your stay. In Joshua Tree, where the afternoon sun is serious business, this isn’t a luxury — it’s the central piece of the trip. Mornings in the park, afternoons in the water, evenings watching the sky shift through pink and purple and ink.

Pickleball Courts

This one surprises people, and then they never stop talking about it. Our pickleball courts have turned into the unofficial competitive heart of every group trip. Whether your crew is serious or picking up a paddle for the first time, the matches run long, the trash talk runs longer, and somehow it becomes one of the best parts of the weekend.

Space That Works for Groups

The villas are designed around how groups actually live on holiday. Open-plan living spaces big enough for everyone to land in the same room. Kitchen setups that handle a proper group dinner. Bedrooms that give people their own space without fragmenting the trip. It’s the difference between everyone doing their own thing and everyone actually being together.

Brand New — Because Details Matter

Everything is new. The mattresses, the towels, the kitchen equipment. There’s no worn-out sofa or temperamental shower that only works if you hold the handle a specific way. When you arrive, everything is exactly as it should be.
