1 | An Ancient Ritual Desert Hot Springs spas
With a 600-year-old natural spring source on-site, the mineral waters that flow from this relaxing retreat are low in sulfur (meaning odor-free) and rich in lithium, creating a perfect cocktail for maximum cleansing and rejuvenation. Recharging every 24 hours, these bubbling waters are even said to be a natural mood elevator. Set on 72 acres and framed by a backdrop of peaceful palms, the sprawling spa offers a menu of traditional treatments like mud baths and specialty massages, as well as a variety of spiritual services and private readings performed by intuitive healing practitioners.

Known for their deep cleansing and detoxifying agents, the thermal waters at this luxe resort bubble up at a balmy 170 degrees and then cool to various temperatures in each of the three mineral swimming pools (pro tip: test them all and find your perfect temperature, Goldilocks-style). Afterward, stimulate the senses through a peaceful sound bath meditation, or choose from a host of spa services. You can also sign up for a luxury group retreat program, or join a pressed juice cleanse, designed to clear the body of toxins and the effects of processed foods over the course of three, four or five days.
