Check out pictures from two of the most exclusive Coachella after-parties

Coachella is perhaps the most extravagant music festival in the world, an event where celebrities love to mingle and their fans love to ogle them. But the festival itself ends at 1 am on Friday and Saturday, leaving plenty of time for lavish after-parties to rage on well into the night and early morning.

On Friday, legendary polysexual dance party A Club Called Rhonda partnered with Framework Presents to bring back Rhonda Queen of the Desert to the Coachella after-party scene. Techno icon Nina Kraviz and fashion designer Virgil Abloh, best known for being the artistic director of Louis Vuitton's men's wear collection, both threw down pulsating DJ sets that kept the crowd moving at HITS Desert Horse Park, a converted horse racing facility. A-list guests such as Gigi Hadid and Diplo partied until 4 am.

Then, on Saturday, Framework partnered with Wynn Nightlife's Art of the Wild to throw a bash for the ages at Zenyara Estate, a 37-acre oasis in the Coachella Valley. Partygoers could grab some drinks from the open bar, dance on a walk-up beach next to an enormous pool at the heart of the estate and listen to tunes DJ'd by world-famous actor Idris Elba or shoot hoops on the backyard basketball court.

The property also featured working horse and date farms; a 6-acre Clive Clark–designed golf course; an enormous lake; canals; a petting zoo; horse and bike trails; pickle-ball and tennis courts; a pool and spa; and a helicopter pad.

No one we talked to could pin down who owned the 11-bedroom, 40,000-square-foot estate. But whoever does, along with event producers Goldenvoice and the Corso Agency, hosted a party for the ages.
