Desert Sun Resort is the place to put on some sunscreen, soak up the sun, forget about your troubles and enjoy getting back to the way nature intended. Formerly known as Desert Shadows Inn, Desert Sun Resort is under new ownership and has been described by USA Today a s “The jewel in the crown of nudist resorts.”  It is a secluded nude resort for the discriminating nudist.

Desert Sun Resort is the premier clothing –free travel destination in the world today. Acres of landscaped grounds behind secluded gates offer panoramic views and immaculate sunshine, and it’s all only a mile from downtown Palm Springs. Our landmark resort is built on land where Errol Flynn and Doris Day once owned hotels. Flynn’s property is now the nude tennis court.

Desert Sun Resort is home of the world’s first Nude Bridge.  The 140 foot and 25 ton pedestrian crossing traverses Indian Canyon Drive, one of the busiest streets in Palm Springs. Oprah Winfrey had to see it for herself. We offer a Mediterranean style resort with three heated pools, two heated Whirlpool spas, lighted tennis court, basketball hoop and several BBQ pits for guest use.
