Bermuda Dunes

Some venues have a story. Bermuda Dunes has a legacy.

Nestled in the sun-drenched Coachella Valley just minutes from Palm Springs, Bermuda Dunes by Wedgewood Events is one of Southern California's most storied and breathtaking event destinations. Originally established in 1958 by Ernie Dunlop and Ray Ryan, this legendary golf course and country club community was designed by acclaimed architect William F. Bell, who drew inspiration from the sweeping coastal links and refined British courses of the era. The result was a property unlike anything else in the desert — rolling dunes, stately palm-lined fairways, and an unmistakable atmosphere of timeless prestige.

From the beginning, Bermuda Dunes attracted the bold and the celebrated. Clark Gable teed off here. Cary Grant called it a favorite. And in 1960, a young Arnold Palmer claimed his first PGA Tour victory on these very fairways, returning in 1973 to claim his last. As a longtime host of the Bob Hope Desert Classic, Bermuda Dunes helped define the Coachella Valley as a destination for luxury, leisure, and memorable moments. Today, that same spirit of glamour and celebration lives on as Bermuda Dunes welcomes a new chapter: your event.

A Setting That Feels Like a Film Set

Bermuda Dunes carries the effortless elegance of old Hollywood — warm desert light, swaying palms, and architecture that speaks directly to the mid-century modern aesthetic the Coachella Valley is famous for. Whether you're planning an executive retreat, a milestone celebration, or a large-scale corporate gathering, this is a venue that delivers genuine impact at every turn.

The property is currently undergoing thoughtful renovations designed to honor its historic character while elevating the guest experience. Updated lighting, refreshed interiors, and a cohesive mid-century modern design vision are being woven throughout — ensuring that every group who gathers here enjoys a space that feels both timeless and fresh.

Main Event Space: Waterfall Cove

Your outdoor event deserves a backdrop worth remembering. Waterfall Cove delivers exactly that. This enchanting lakeside space is framed by lush hedges and secured with private gating, creating an intimate setting for celebrations, award ceremonies, and more. The gentle sound of the waterfall, the shimmer of the lake, and the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape combine to create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and quietly dramatic — the kind of setting that leaves a lasting impression on every guest.

Indoor Event Hall: Bermuda Vista

The heart of your event unfolds in Bermuda Vista, Bermuda Dunes' signature indoor space. Currently undergoing a carefully considered renovation — including the removal of dated carpet, updated lighting, and a refined mid-century modern redesign — Bermuda Vista is being reimagined as a flexible, elegant venue for galas, conferences, banquets, fundraisers, and private celebrations of all kinds.

Private Suites for Speakers, VIPs & Green Rooms

Every well-run event needs dedicated backstage space. The Rosa Suite offers a private retreat for speakers, honored guests, or VIP attendees to prepare and decompress away from the main event floor. The Desert Den — a characterful converted wine room — provides a relaxed, stylish green room or breakout space for smaller groups. Both reflect the property's warm desert personality and give your team a true sense of place before the program begins.
