🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Sanctuary for Men: Inside the Palm Springs Men’s Wellness Retreat

Tucked discreetly upstairs at 333 North Palm Canyon Drive, Unit 216, the Palm Springs Men’s Wellness Retreat feels like an escape within an escape 🌴. Owner Cody Zhao, a soft-spoken massage master known for his intuitive touch and grounded calm, has created a refuge where men can pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves 💆‍♂️.

Zhao arrived in Palm Springs just over three years ago, drawn by the city’s relaxed rhythm and its open, welcoming LGBTQ+ spirit 🏳️‍🌈. “I love the quiet, relaxing atmosphere and the rich cultural vibe,” he says. “It’s such a gay friendly place. You really feel like you belong here.” 🌞

After visiting for the White Party in 2022 🎉, Zhao decided the desert wasn’t just a destination — it was home. He sold his thriving Texas spa and headed west, discovering what he calls “the perfect space” downtown to build something more personal. From that vision, Palm Springs Men’s Wellness Retreat was born 🌵.

The retreat is intentionally intimate: five serene treatment rooms and an elegant wet area designed for full-body scrub rituals 🚿. Guests experience luxury without pretense — massages, body scrubs, and table showers that make relaxation feel effortless 😌. Zhao insists on keeping his rates accessible, believing that wellness should be “a necessity, not a privilege.” 💸

His philosophy is simple yet profound: self-care should be restorative, respectful, and deeply human 🕊️. “When guests leave,” he says, “I want them to feel relaxed, refreshed, and re-energized, physically and emotionally.” 🌺

For Zhao, this is far more than a business; it’s an act of connection in a community that already radiates warmth ❤️. In a city celebrated for its light, he has carved out a quiet sanctuary of his own — one that glows gently from within ✨.
