Insider tips from a Coachella, CA Superhost — packing lists, festival survival guides, and everything you need to plan the perfect desert weekend.

Home›Travel Guides

We've hosted hundreds of groups at Tulum in the Valley for Coachella and Stagecoach — and every year guests ask us the same questions. Where should we stay? What should we pack? Is a house or hotel better for a group? What's actually worth doing in the Coachella Valley before or after the festival?

We put together these guides to answer all of it — honestly, from people who live and host here year-round.
