Resort Manager's Picks

March 2010

March is traditionally one of the most exciting and diverse months of the year in the Coachella Valley. Major sporting and entertainment events, Spring break fun, El Paseo Fashion week and endless, warm sunshine!

The LPGA's first major of the year, the Kraft Nabisco Championship tee's off March 29th at Mission Hills Country Club. The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa is proud to be the host hotel for the event. Guests can take advantage of the resort's proximity to the tournament venue with special packages that includes tickets, parking and golf on one of the Westin's championship courses. Take in all the action and experience the atmosphere this year at the Westin. Visit the exclusive offers page on this site for all the details.

Switching gears to tennis, the ATP and WTA tennis tours combine for the BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Known as the "5th" major, the BNP features the world's top men and women players in two weeks of exciting action. If you are planning to travel to the event, bring your racquet, book a room at the Westin and play all afternoon at the resort before heading to the evening draw. It's tennis heaven!

Over in Palm Desert, El Paseo fashion week rules the runway, March 21-28th while Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Amy Grant and Brad Garrett among others perform at the McCallum Theatre.

The Show is the desert's hottest live entertainment theater featuring top name entertainment and sporting events. An easy five minute drive from the Westin makes an evening out that much more enjoyable. Upcoming events in March include Showtime Championship Boxing, Tony Bennett, Martin Short and the Doobie Brothers. Visit our Local Area page on this site for more info.

Finally, March is one of the most anticipated months of the year because of the weather! Whether you are choosing golf, tennis or hiking the trails of Rancho Mirage, there are plenty ways to keep active before that afternoon dip at Las Brisas pool. If you stay at the resort, our FUN TEAM has scheduled plenty of activities for all ages throughout the month. Visit the Family Activities section of our website to find out more or consult our resort newsletter once you arrive.

Please keep visiting this page for local updates and news on what to do in the desert.
