There’s something about Joshua Tree that just makes time slow down. Maybe it’s the quiet—so still you can hear your own breath. Everytime I go to Joshua Tree I’m amazed at how quiet and serene it is. Or maybe it’s just the magic of being tucked away in the middle of nowhere with the person you love.

If you’re looking for a way to soak in a slow and intentional morning in the desert, here’s how to do it right.

Wake Up Slow

Forget alarms. Let the sunlight ease you awake as it filters through the windows. Take your time stretching under the covers, feeling the warmth of your partner beside you. There’s no rush—mornings in Joshua Tree aren’t meant for schedules.

Coffee in Bed

First things first: coffee. There’s something extra special about brewing a fresh cup in a cozy Airbnb, wrapped up in blankets, with the desert just beyond the windows.

Outdoor Bath & Shower Bliss

One of the best things about desert stays? The outdoor tubs and showers. There’s nothing like warm water against your skin while cool morning air drifts around you. Bring a book, let your toes wrinkle in the bath, and take turns reading aloud. Or, if you’re feeling playful, turn the shower into a dance floor, letting the water and laughter mix together. It’s a moment to just be—fully present, fully together.

Move to the Music

Eventually, the coffee kicks in, the water cools, and it’s time to move. Put on your favorite record, something slow and timeless, and let yourselves sink into the moment. If you’re musically inclined (can’t relate), bring your favorite instrument and create your own music.

No Rush, No Rules

The beauty of a Joshua Tree morning is that there’s no agenda. Stay wrapped up in blankets for as long as you want. Read another chapter. Make another cup of coffee. Dance a little longer. It’s a reminder that the best moments are the ones where time doesn’t matter—just you, your person, and the desert stretching out beyond you.

So if you ever find yourself in Joshua Tree, let the morning unfold at its own pace. Breathe it in. Savor it. And most of all, enjoy every slow, beautiful second of it.
