-Right Next to Joshua Tree National Park-

800,000 acres of mystical beauty: Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures, and at Shadow House at Solace Retreat, it is just outside of your doorstep. Sweeping, grand, and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations, this quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.



Joshua Tree is also known for its quirky art installations and unique restaurants - visit local art installations or discover the charm of nearby shops and eateries. But with the peace, quiet, and natural beauty surrounding you, you may find it hard to leave this sanctuary.
