2 | Spring Fever Desert Hot Springs spas
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.

5 | Take a Dip
With three pools and just 10 quaint rooms, this boutique, mid-century modernist roadside hotel makes for the perfect intimate getaway. Take in sweeping views of the Coachella Valley and take a dip in the warm, geothermal waters. The remodeled hotel places an emphasis on “unplugged” relaxation, meaning cell phones and laptops by the pools are gently discouraged (emails can wait!). Instead, take advantage of yoga classes, body wraps and massages and the three spring-fed pools.
6 | Aqua Soleil Hotel and Mineral Water Spa
Sit back, relax and soak up the mineral waters at Aqua Soleil! This Desert Hot Springs property offers guests a trip back in time with its celebrity-themed rooms and suites, such as the Audrey Hepburn, Rat Pack, James Dean or Marilyn Monroe rooms. But for some amazing views, the Mountain View Suite has a private balcony for gazing at the beautiful San Jacinto Mountains.
Local Insight: The Soleil Suite, a customer favorite, includes an in-room jetted mineral water pool.
7 | An Ancient Ritual
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.
