👋 OH HEY 👋

Mads here! I had myself a little getaway at the Yara Hotel in Palm Springs last week. I feel like I’ve been seeing it all over Instagram these days, so I was excited to see it for myself 🌴

It’s a tiny boutique hotel that almost feels like a home with their communal kitchen and living room for all the guests. The pool is also so stunning that I did a little WFP (work-from-pool) session while I was there 🏊

And can we talk about the decor? I mean I wanted to add every corner of this place to my Pinterest board. Book your own getaway at Yara Hotel here!

Here are some of my Palm Springs faves for your next visit: Bar Cecil for dinner, Farm or Norma’s for brunch, Las Palmas Brewing for beer & natty wine, and Mojave Flea Trading Post or Market Market for shopping 🍻

Oh, and did you hear…OUR APP IS NOW IN THE APP STORE! Can’t wait to follow all of you on Camber 📲 We’ve been slowly releasing it out, so expect exciting updates soon.
