Sensei Porcupine Creek is a hidden gem and tranquil oasis nestled within the heart of this sun-soaked desert city. This exclusive retreat offers an unparalleled experience of serenity and self-discovery in the midst of the Coachella Valley's striking beauty.
Formerly the private estate of Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, this 230-acre property has been transformed into a lush wellness retreat. The setting of Sensei is a true testament to the harmonious balance between the natural world and luxurious living. The property is a sprawling desert sanctuary surrounded by picturesque mountain ranges and lush, manicured gardens. The entrance to the estate is a grand, meandering driveway lined with towering palm trees, setting the tone for the luxury and tranquility that awaits within.
