Palm Springs, California
The largest clothing-optional gay men's resort in the US
The largest clothing-optional gay men's resort in the US, spread across 3.5 acres on a street literally named Gay Resort Drive in Cathedral City — the Coachella Valley city that was actually the original gay destination in the desert, before Palm Springs loosened its own ordinances. CCBC has 44 rooms, a pool, multiple Jacuzzis, a waterfall grotto, dry sauna, and Turkish steam room. The Runway Bar and Restaurant serves full meals and cocktails on an expansive patio with misters and heaters. Beyond the pool deck, the grounds are designed as a social playground — landscaped pathways, secluded coves, and indoor spaces that lean into the resort's adults-only identity. Continental breakfast is included, and a van service runs to nearby bars and restaurants. The resort is 21+, men only, and open year-round. Cathedral City sits about 15 minutes from downtown Palm Springs and has one of the highest per-capita LGBTQ+ populations of any US city.
