About this venue

Korakia Pensione offers a unique and relaxing getaway from day to day reality. Crafted after a Mediterranean-style pensione, Korakia blends the silhouette of Tangier with a whisper of the Mediterranean. Begin the day with a full-cooked breakfast in the Moroccan courtyard. Soothe your soul poolside, seek healing through yoga or pamper yourself with our spa offerings. Curl up with a vintage book from the library lounge. Join a game of bocce ball or explore downtown Palm Springs on one of our bicycles. Relax and refresh with the Moroccan tea service each afternoon. Lanterns and fire-pits flicker, illuminating the heated pools at night. Classic and foreign films glimmer on a nearby screen. A Moroccan daybed beckons for stargazing. Nightly turn-downs are done in the European tradition. Come and see why Forbes Traveler named Korakia one of the “Sexiest Hotels in America.”

Our property is very intimate, and we treat it as a retreat for our guest, we require a buyout so your guest can enjoy the offerings and experience privately.
Our property is a very sought after wedding destination and although we have many inquires daily we only limit ourselves to 2 weddings per month.
Our property is a very busy destination and we are booked up almost daily; when quoting wedding buyouts we do have to take In consideration the loss of regular booking flow over the weekends and market demand. We also take in consideration loss of additional revenue from F&B, packages, and spa offerings that non-group bookings typically bring in.
We do require that you use one of our catering, entertainment, and rental companies. We do allow you to bring your own photographer, videographer, florist, and other specialty vendors. We will only ask that they sign a vendor agreement.
Since you are buying out the property we do make the exception to have children at the property. We only ask that all children are supervised at all times since we have no lifeguard on duty and open fire pits.
Due to Palm Springs city ordinance, outdoor events must conclude at 10pm. We do require that you have an after party plan for your guest and have suggestions that you may enjoy.
