“As a great explorer—of candy, that is—I love traveling and discovering new treats from around the world,” Dylan Lauren says. “By partnering with Marriott’s Shadow Ridge, we have combined the delight of luxury vacationing with the deliciousness of candy to create a mouthwatering duo that will ensure the sweetest of escapes.”

Located in the heart of Palm Desert, Marriott’s Shadow Ridge boasts 497 one- and two-bedroom villas with approximately 1,100 to 1,300 sq. ft. of living space. The resort is home to Marriott’s Shadow Ridge Golf Club, the first Nick Faldo-designed championship golf course in the United States, and the Faldo Golf Institute by Marriott.
