The intimate 11-key property is a desert oasis evoking a home away from home vibe with high touch service to every guest. From the contemporary guestrooms to restored original Libott swimming pool and an abundance of peaceful grounds, Dive is the epitome of chic.
Each of the bright and spacious rooms embrace a different color theme with a curated mix of rattan furnishings by the likes of Serena & Lily and Anthropologie, custom Belgian linen sheets on Tuft and Needle beds, vintage refrigerators and a robust minibar presented in a rustic wine crate. LA-based fashion illustrator, Gabriella Fash, is behind the prominent painted wall art prevalent across the rooms. The colorful tiled bathrooms differ from each room and comprise oversized rainfall showers, illuminated makeup mirrors and custom designed bathrobes. Most rooms come complete with an outdoor patio and oversized daybed stacked with plush pillows, offering a more private setting to relax in.
Le Rêve (meaning dream in French) is Dive's most magical room and showcases custom wallpaper and a full ceiling mural by Christian Lacroix. Ideal for those seeking greater space and seclusion, the Paris Suite offers secure private access from the street and spectacular touches such as a vintage ornate 1910 belle epoque Parisian elevator transformed into a full canopy bed and lounge, fully stocked grand liquor cabinet and large outdoor patio with lounging area. For a more decadent experience, The Orchard Suite leaves little to the imagination with its large outdoor patio and private hot tub, indoor movie theatre and very own private three hole putting green.
An ever-evolving mix of food and drink experiences adds to the magic of the resort. Guests can kick start their day with a complimentary organic breakfast before retreating to a striped lounger or cabana poolside. At weekends, guests can enjoy daytime treats from Dive's French-inspired wheeled pool cart which tours the property once an hour from late morning through late afternoon. The cart serves small bites ranging from charcuterie to champagne popsicles, as well as beers, wine by the glass and Aperol Spritz.
The immaculate grounds complete with palm trees, canopy daybeds and tree benches provide the perfect setting to relax with a glass of Dive's very own rosé blend in hand. For a moment's pause, unwind amongst the orchard with its fruit trees and hanging chairs, accompanied by the sound of twin waterfalls. Completing the zen experience is the Koi Pond where guests can feed Dive's fish from a mini airstream food container.
By night, guests can take an alfresco dip in the 24 hour hot tub or congregate at the fire pit before heading to The Peacock Lounge for a drink and a game of backgammon. Exuding the coziness of one's living room, The Peacock Lounge continues the theme of rattan furnishings alongside the playfulness of circular shapes reminiscent of 60's retro and quirky lighting by Anthropologie. Babar, an oversized lacquered rattan bar cart in the shape of an elephant, further serves as Dive's self-service liquor store. Available 24/7, Babar is stocked with a premium selection of champagne and wine, tequila, scotch and more. Guests can simply enjoy what they wish with the charges added automatically to the room via video technology. For a more intimate moment, stop by the velvet-clad Powder Room to conclude the evening.
