Coachella 2023 is fast approaching, bringing headlining acts from Bad Bunny, Blackpink, and Frank Ocean. But once you’ve secured tickets to Coachella, there’s one more big step to planning your festival experience: finding a place to stay.
One of the best sources for Coachella stays is Airbnb. The rental platform has dozens of villas, houses, guesthouses, and rooms available right near the festival, as many locals will leave the area and rent their homes to festival-goers. Many of these Airbnb rentals are just as close, if not closer than top hotels in the area, and, at some, you’ll get amenities like private pools and outdoor hangout spaces.

Of course, finding a good Airbnb for Coachella is no easy task with so many people doing the same. To help make the process easier (and your trip better), we combed through the available stays in Indio to find the best Airbnbs for Coachella.
Best Airbnbs for Coachella
Below are some of the best Airbnbs for Coachella — whether you’re traveling with two people or ten. A word of warning, though: prices are high all over the Indio area during Coachella with so many travelers descending on the normally-quiet suburb. Luckily, one of the benefits of an Airbnb is that you can fit up to a dozen friends in one place and split the bill.
Also, keep in mind that Coachella’s exact location is the Empire Polo Club, so you’ll want to find something as close to there as possible. Transportation is very difficult (and very expensive) during Coachella, so only chose stays close to the festival grounds.
