Soak in the healing powers.

Great for the skin and soul, mineral-rich waters abound in this desert oasis. In Desert Hot Springs, The Good House offers two levels of day passes granting access to its natural hot springs, plus a massage and raw juice. At sustainability-focused Two Bunch Palms, curative waters bubble up from the earth and into multiple soaking pools at more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. El Morocco Inn & Day Spa sits atop a well of hot mineral waters, as does The Spring Resort & Spa, where select rooms offer private outdoor soaking tubs. Azure Palm Hot Springs Resort & Day Spa Oasis houses two indoor and two outdoor pools, accessible even if you aren’t staying overnight via a day pass.
