ABOUT THIS SPACE
Welcome to Doma Aquaria, a serene desert retreat where architectural calm, modern comfort, and playful luxury converge. Located just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, this spacious hideaway is designed for relaxation, connection and play.

The moment you walk in you’ll feel at home: warm earth tones, natural textures, and a clean, modern aesthetic shape the open-concept living room and kitchen.

The space transforms seamlessly into a home cinema thanks to a 120-inch motorized projector screen paired with a premium short-throw projector — perfect for winding down after a day in the park.

The newly renovated private back yard is an oasis for sun, shade, and starlit evenings: a 30x12 saltwater pool, 8 sun loungers (2 in pool), desert-chic outdoor bar, 6 person hot tub, fire pit, BBQ, outdoor dining and mountain views.

The climate-controlled geodesic dome offers a tranquil sanctuary for meditation, yoga, journaling, or quiet conversation.

Back inside, a separate music room is a place to play instruments, spin curated vinyl, read, or retreat from the main house, with easy access to the outdoor dining area.

When you're ready to dial up the fun, head to the neon-lit games room we call the High Desert Hideout: post up at the Irish bar, play billiards, arcade games, chess or backgammon, and lounge late into the night.

Doma Aquaria is designed to bring people together while giving every guest a chance to find their own rhythm and room to breathe.

OUTDOORS — YOUR PRIVATE DESERT OASIS
The backyard has been completely transformed and newly landscaped for 2026, offering both calm and play:

★ Brand-New Pool: The centerpiece of the outdoor space — a saltwater 12x30 pool with lighting and a safety cover, perfect for daytime lounging and night swims under the stars. Please note that the pool is not heated.
★ Outdoor Bar: A custom bar setup ideal for cocktails, mocktails, and gathering around for conversation as the sun sets.
★ Bocce-Style Court: A long, groomed court designed for bocce, pétanque, cornhole, and customizable outdoor play.
★ In-Ground Sunken Fire Pit: A sculptural lounge spot for evening gatherings, storytelling, and star-watching.
★ Sundeck Pergola + 40-ft Misters: A shaded retreat for warm afternoons, complete with cooling misters.
★ Climate-Controlled Geodesic Dome: A peaceful refuge for meditation, yoga, deep conversation, or solo time with ambient lighting and flexible seating. The dome is designed as a lounge rather than an observatory. For stargazing, the fire pit and pool deck offer wide-open desert skies.
★ Loungers, Hammock & Chill Zones: Relaxation spaces designed for every part of the day.
★ Outdoor Dining + Propane BBQ: Your hub for slow breakfasts, sunset dinners, and shared meals.
★ Nighttime Ambience: Soft lighting transforms the desert landscape into a warm, glowing haven after dark.
