Like Route 4, the Desert Resort has rather than tall grass. The Desert Resort's southeastern entrance is a short, narrow pathway that cuts through a rocky hill. A gate at the end of the path connects directly to the inner area. The interior covers a large area and features many sandy hills, valleys, and deep sand throughout its barren ground. In the center of the northern end of the resort lies one of the entrances to the Relic Castle. This entrance is guarded by five statues which are actually in their Zen Mode. If the player uses a RageCandyBar on them, they can be awoken, and will have the Ability. To the west of the entrance is a tower that acts as an exit to Relic Castle. In, this tower is buried in the sand and becomes inaccessible. At the very northern end of the resort, a hillside can be seen sliding into the ocean.
