The Zenyara Experience

Desert Nights will once again be hosted at Zenyara, a breathtaking 70-acre private estate situated just minutes from the Coachella grounds. This luxury oasis, complete with a man-made lake and white sand beaches, offers an ultra-exclusive environment for festival-goers. The event is a collaborative production between Corso Millner Group, the Los Angeles dance music powerhouse Framework, and Tao Group Hospitality.

“When we reflect on this event, we are always moved by the feedback we receive,” David Corso, founder and CEO of Corso Millner Group, said in a statement. “From die-hard music fans to the artists themselves, the sentiment is always the same: ‘There is nothing like it.’ For over eight years, we have aimed to push the boundaries of what is possible in such a luxurious space. Desert Nights is truly the pinnacle of the culture we’ve built.”
