The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, federally recognized since the 19th century, has called the Coachella Valley home for thousands of years. Their ancestral lands span more than 31,500 acres, including parts of Palm Springs, Cathedral City, and Rancho Mirage. The tribe's name, “Agua Caliente,” meaning “hot water,” refers to the sacred natural hot springs still flowing beneath the desert—a vital resource for both spiritual and physical well-being.

Today, the tribe is a leading cultural and economic force in the region, with thriving enterprises that include casinos, resorts, spas, golf courses, and now, Agua Caliente Fuel, a modern fuel and convenience center that opened in December 2021.

Located next to the Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage, Agua Caliente Fuel is a reflection of the tribe’s innovation and forward-thinking development. The 24-hour station offers 24 fuel pumps, six electric vehicle charging stations, a full-service market, a walk-in Beer Cave and Java Caliente, the tribe’s signature coffee shop with both drive-thru and walk-in service. A standout feature is the 750-square-foot gaming area with 43 Class II slot machines, giving visitors a casual taste of the Agua Caliente gaming experience.

Blending convenience, culture and commerce, Agua Caliente Fuel is more than just a gas station, it’s a modern gateway to the tribal legacy and the vibrant energy of the Coachella Valley.
