La Quinta, California is one of the more desirable vacation destinations within the deserts of California. The area is home to many great resorts, a few golf courses, and some pretty haute homes. Well here’s a vacation rental that attempts to redefine the word “haute” in the most absurd ways imaginable. Located right on the 18th hole of the prestigious Desert Springs Golf Course, we find the Chateau Andra. It’s spacious, luxurious, pretty absurd, borderline gaudy, and certainly very expensive.
Imagine if Tony Montana from Scarface was tasked to design a premium vacation home for someone. Got it? Good. That’s basically what Chateau Andra is. To some, it may be really crass and in-your-face, but to others, it’s the perfect vacation home. During the more popular months it will run you upwards of about $13,000 per night, so it has to be luxurious right? Well, let’s take a look inside our luxury rental of the week.
From the outside, Chateau Andra is reminiscent of classic villas found in Spanish speaking countries yet it still has a bit of Californian flair. The backyard is home to plenty of exterior living spaces, views of the golf course, and some gardens. We also find a massive pool, a waterfall, a plethora of lion statues, marble floors, a hot tub, and much more. It’s already pretty ridiculous from the outside, but just wait until you peak on the inside.
I told you, this is a house straight out of Scarface or something. The home is absolutely massive as there are seven bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms. Design wise, the furnishings and interiors are extremely regal and arguably quite flashy. It’s definitely very luxurious, and it’s styled almost like a modern-day castle. There’s a bar, plenty of sofas and chairs, a living room, a dining room and table that can seat 12, a “great room”, a few fireplaces, and a massive kitchen, among other rooms.
Chatea Andra has a pretty consistent design and color scheme found throughout all of the rooms, and you’ll definitely feel like royalty here. Perfect for large family vacations or corporate retreats, the home has plenty of space and everyone can have their own bedrooms and bathrooms.
The various bedrooms are all pretty large and certainly feel like they are from a Spanish or Mexican villa or something. Guests can enjoy massive beds, large marble bathrooms, and much more. Chateau Andra’s style might not be for everyone, but you do have to admit that it’s certainly very luxurious. This is essentially the home of a multi-millionaire, and while their tastes might not match yours, it’s certainly still a multi-million dollar property.
And at the end of the day, the home is still located close to many popular destinations. It’s located right on the golf course, the massive Marriott Desert Springs Resort is across the way, it’s near three other golf courses, and Joshua Tree is just a car rides away. The Chateau Andra has all the premium offerings you could want (and the premium price-tag), and it certainly makes for a fantastic vacation rental fir for the whole family and friends.
