Win Four Passports to Wellness Packages at Glen Ivy Hot Springs
Summer has a way of filling up fast. Weekends vanish, to-do lists multiply and somehow “relax” stays perpetually at the bottom of the list. Enter Glen Ivy Hot Springs, a 166-year-old mineral spa in Corona and Southern California’s most iconic wellness destination, with naturally occurring hot spring waters, healing clay experiences, massive massage villas, breathwork under open skies and food that nourishes.

By reason five, you’ll already be planning your outfit.

Where the Earth Does the Work
There’s a reason people have been soaking at Glen Ivy since the 1860s. The Vista Pool is one of the property’s signature experiences, and at 104 degrees, it just gets it. Warm water, good vibes, zero agenda.
The minerals work on tight muscles and stressed-out nervous systems in ways that a bath bomb simply cannot replicate. Come with tension. Leave without it. It’s basically the oldest wellness trend in California, and it hasn’t needed a rebrand in over a century.
What Everyone Talks About
Clay has been used throughout history to draw out impurities from the body, and Glen Ivy’s Club Mud is the full, immersive version of that ancient ritual. Grab fistfuls of California red clay, slather it onto wet skin, and watch it blend into a silky soft paste with the property’s own mineral water. From there, you have options: bake in the sun or retreat into the warm “Wafa” cave to let the mud dry completely. When it starts to loosen and flake, rinse it off. What’s left behind? Genuinely baby-soft skin. Built in 2002 and open all day, Club Mud is mixed fresh daily; the clay and the mineral water come together on-site, every time.
Local Insight: The mud at Glen Ivy isn’t imported or bottled; it’s locally sourced red clay mixed with the property’s own mineral water every day.
Hot, Cold and Everything In Between
If you’ve never done a contrast therapy circuit, this summer is your moment. Glen Ivy’s hot and cold plunge pools create a rhythm that gets your circulation moving, your nervous system recalibrated and your skin glowing. The alternating temperatures have been used in traditional wellness practices for centuries, and the setup makes it easy to stay in the flow. Just move from one pool to the next and let your body do the rest. When you’re ready to actually move, the Lap Pool is there for that too, with AquaFit and AquaTone classes on offer or just an open lane whenever the urge to swim strikes.
And if your body is asking for a little more, book time at the Spa Salon, with massages and body rituals designed to iron out any remaining aches, plus custom nail treatments (champagne included) that make for a perfect landing.
Step Inside Something Special
Descend into The Grotto, a subterranean cave, and get painted neck-to-toe with a warm masque of aloe vera, coconut oil, eucalyptus, shea butter and lavender. Then simply wait; the gently heated cavern does the work, opening your pores so the formula soaks deeper into your skin. When you’re ready, rinse off under cascading water and move into the final, cooler grotto to decompress with tea, water and fruit.
Silky-smooth skin, genuine stillness and a story to tell. On days when Glen Ivy’s summer breathwork and yoga sessions are on the schedule, this makes for a pretty perfect warm-up or wind-down.
Move, Breathe, Reset
Glen Ivy’s summer programming leans into the active side of self-care with outdoor breathwork and yoga sessions layered into the day’s rhythm. There’s something particularly powerful about practicing breathwork or moving through a flow when you’re already in a minerally-charged, slow-paced environment. The noise of regular life has already started to drop away. The setting does half the work. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or someone who’s been “meaning to try yoga” for the last three years, these sessions meet you where you are.
Nourish & Browse
A spa day that ends with sad vending machine food is not a wellness day; it’s a tease. Ivy Kitchen takes care of that entirely. The on-site restaurant serves organic California cuisine, with produce and ingredients that reflect the property’s connection to the land, including avocados harvested right on-site. Think BYO salads, hearty bowls, sandwiches, flatbreads, and decadent desserts. Pair lunch with a pressed juice from the Chill Zone or lean into wine-based cocktails at Lounge 1860.
Before you head out, swing through the on-site boutiques stocked with Glen Ivy merchandise and [comfort zone] skincare products that make the indulgence last a little longer after you’ve gone home. Ready to experience Glen Ivy Hot Springs for yourself? Enter the giveaway and discover why this Corona spa has been a Southern California wellness essential for over a century.
