Greater Palm Springs Launches First-Ever Spa Month
Greater Palm Springs officially launched its first-ever Spa Month with a special event at Parker Palm Springs, setting the stage for a month-long celebration of wellness. Guests at the kickoff enjoyed a floating sound bath and complimentary massages at the resort’s signature Yacht Club spa, offering a preview of the treatments available throughout September.
The new initiative brings together more than 40 spas across all nine cities in the Coachella Valley, offering discounted rates on over 100 treatments and wellness packages. From hot mineral water spas to luxury resort facilities, participants are highlighting the region’s diverse health and wellness offerings.
Organizers say Spa Month is a natural extension of the destination’s reputation as a wellness retreat. “We have so many wonderful resort spas and practitioners here,” said representatives from Greater Palm Springs. “This is the perfect way to showcase the authentic experiences our region has to offer.”
Guests can take advantage of exclusive pricing on massages, facials, body treatments, and full wellness packages. Special staycation deals at area resorts are also available, making it easy for locals and visitors alike to indulge in a relaxing getaway.
Reservations and a full list of participating spas can be found online at spamonthgps.com, where visitors can browse offerings and book appointments. Spa Month runs throughout September, giving the Coachella Valley a fresh spotlight as a destination for health, rejuvenation, and self-care.

As fall approaches, it’s time to start thinking about your annual flu shot. The CDC recommends flu vaccination every season for nearly everyone 6 months and older, and September or October is generally the ideal time for most people to get vaccinated. The 2026-27 flu vaccines have been updated to target the strains expected to circulate this season. There’s also a new option this year: Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older. Talk with your health care provider about which flu vaccine is right for you and make a plan to get vaccinated this fall.
