Splash House
This past weekend was my third time attending Splash House. I love Palm Springs and music festivals, so it really was a perfect weekend. I’ve said it before, but Splash House > Coachella any day. Pool + fun music + laidback vibes + the nicest crowd I’ve ever encountered at a music festival = SUCH a fun weekend (adult summer camp, anyone?).
Splash House
It’s not too late to make plans for August – if you’re in the SoCal area (and even if you’re not), definitely look into Splash House for a fun weekend with friends. I apologize for the lack of photos, but when you’re by a pool all day, the last thing you want to do is drop it in the water or break it somehow. Some tips if you do plan on attending in the future:
Bring Your Own Floaties.
Yes, inflatable pool toys are your best accessory for the weekend.
Stay at the Saguaro.
This year rooms at the Saguaro sold out quickly. If you are lucky enough to snag a room at this hotel, you’re in luck, because it’s the best home base to have for the weekend. If you stay at either of the Splash House sponsored hotels for the weekend, be sure to decorate your balconies for the #bitchinbalconies contest!
Hydrate.
It’s a little crazy to head to Palm Springs in the middle of the summer. Temperatures are regularly above 100 degrees, when you combine that with day drinking, it’s a recipe for disaster if you don’t hydrate properly. Take care of yourself and your friends, and be sure to chug that H20.

Wear Sunscreen.
The desert sun is no joke. I like Sun Bum best (and if you happen to get sunburnt, their cooling gel is amazing).
Buy Cheap Sunglasses and Shoes.
The pool deck is a bit of a free for all – people end up grabbing whatever footwear they can get their hands on, so I would advise against wearing your favorite shoes. Same goes for sunnies – don’t wear anything you would be heartbroken to lose.

Splash House sounds fun; I’ve never heard of it, but I can only assume the crowds are considerably less than Coachella, which is totally overwhelmed with people. :]

The venue (2 separate hotel pools) is much smaller than the grounds for Coachella, so the crowds are wayyy smaller! Totally different vibes than Coachella – definitely check it out if you can : ) thanks for reading xx
Splash house seems like so much fun 🙂 I would love to go to Palm Springs !!!

Thanks Sophie! xx
You got my entire interest when you described it as “Adult Summer Camp”! Nice tips you gave here especially stuffs we might lose like sunnies or shoes during this kind of event. So paying so much for these things are not a good idea. Love your look in your last pic babe. xx

Thank you babe! You should totally check it out, you would love it. I think anytime big crowds / day drinking is involved, it’s best not to wear your nicest accessories – better safe than sorry. Thanks for reading love xx
