Disney’s Desert Oasis – Inside Cotino

News & Blog /

Your Next Chapter, Inspired by Magic: A Look Inside Cotino, Disney’s Desert Oasis For decades, the name “Disney” has evoked dreams, adventure, and the highest standards of hospitality. Now, that same spirit is translating from the theme parks into everyday life. Welcome to Cotino, the first-ever community in the new Storyliving by Disney collection, nestled right here in the heart of Rancho Mirage, California. More than just a housing development, Cotino is designed to be a vibrant, multi-generational community where Disney’s legendary attention to detail and storytelling is woven into the very fabric of the neighborhood. It’s not a theme park—it’s the setting for your next great chapter. A Desert Retreat with Walt’s Touch Why the Coachella Valley? It’s no secret that Walt Disney himself cherished the Greater Palm Springs area, using it as a creative retreat for renewal and inspiration. Cotino pays homage to that history, reflecting the region’s mid-century modern architecture and stunning natural beauty, all while infused with the aesthetic guidance of Walt Disney Imagineering. The community is open to homeowners of all ages, though it thoughtfully includes a dedicated section, Longtable Park, designed specifically for 55+ residents who are looking for a maintenance-free, vibrant lifestyle. Homes, built by premier partners like Shea Homes and Davidson Communities, range from luxurious single-family residences starting in the mid-$1 millions up to stunning estate homes, ensuring a wide array of options for different families and life stages. The Crown Jewel: Cotino Bay and the Artisan Club The centerpiece of Cotino is the breathtaking Cotino Bay, a massive, 24-acre “grand oasis” featuring crystal-clear turquoise waters utilizing Crystal Lagoons technology. This man-made marvel brings a beach lifestyle right into the desert. For those who want the full Disney experience, the Artisan Club offers a voluntary membership that unlocks exclusive access to the best amenities: Club-Only Beach Access: Lounge on the private shores of Cotino Bay. The Parr House: A unique multi-functional event space inspired by the iconic family home in Pixar’s The Incredibles 2, offering an “incredible” backdrop for celebrations. A Waterfront Clubhouse Complex: Featuring dining, a club pool, pickleball and tennis courts, and recreational activities—all managed with Disney’s legendary service. Club programming is also distinctly Disney, with activities like storytelling dinners, lessons with Disney artists, and other curated events designed to inspire connections and lifelong learning. The Artisan Club recently celebrated its grand opening, welcoming its first members! Bringing the Magic to the Public in 2026 While the residential areas and Artisan Club are private, Disney is committed to sharing the magic with the wider Rancho Mirage community. The public-facing Cotino Bay Beach, Dining and Shops town center is scheduled to open in Fall 2026. This district will feature a collection of exciting restaurants and retailers, including: Elevare: A new waterfront restaurant serving refined American cuisine. Artigiano: A Canadian specialty coffee pioneer opening its first U.S. location. On the Mark Fine Foods & Provisions: A local Palm Springs favorite bringing its curated specialty goods to the community. Khaga Yoga: A wellness sanctuary for all levels. Visitors will also be able to purchase day tickets to access the public beach area of Cotino Bay, making this a destination for the entire Coachella Valley. Your Story, Your Magic Cotino is truly a groundbreaking concept, taking the high standards of Disney hospitality and blending them with the vibrant, luxurious desert lifestyle. If you’ve ever dreamed of a life filled with connection, inspiration, and just a dash of fairy dust, the next chapter of your story is waiting in Rancho Mirage. Homes are now for sale and model homes are available for viewing by appointment. Keep an eye on the official Storyliving by Disney website for the latest updates on the Cotino Bay Beach, Dining and Shops town center opening in Fall 2026!

WILDFLOWER WALKS WITH FRIENDS HEY… WAIT FOR ME! The story of the quail family sculpture in Friends’ foyer by Dick and Suzanne Southard Having lived in California for 20 years we truly enjoyed watching all the birds especially the quail. My wife suggested that I carve a quail family. We had watched many families and I don’t believe we ever saw one that didn’t have one of the young the trailed behind……that, prompted my carving and it’s name. When I get a vision I start looking at my wood and decide which wood fits which piece and the same with the bases. I had this large unique piece of Manzanita Root and had wondered how it might be used. As the quail carving progressed I saw it would greatly enhance this piece of art. I took advantage of the richness and the grain of Butternut and characteristics of the wood to carve the quail. I needed harder wood for the legs and feet so I chose Grapevine, a stronger wood. The top knot, is a slice of Walnut. I needed a graveled area for the quail to stand on. I discovered a way to make an appearance of sand, by grinding many different woods and combining them to look like gravel.
