Hot springs have primarily been considered an exotic trip for off-the-beaten-path travelers in far-flung corners of the earth. However, luxury hot springs are trending as more people look for experiential, upscale travel. You also don’t need to look far: The United States has plenty of luxury hot springs, and ghost towns turned resorts to cater to the demand.
Towns like Calistoga was built around the region’s mineral hot springs and designing luxury resorts around them. Castligoa Ranch in Napa Valley features deluxe suites, sensuous soak packages and mineral pools surrounded by lush nature. The private canyon retreat features ultimate luxury with 50 freestanding guest lodges and a chance to experience an on-site wine cave, beehive, chicken coop and gardens.
Rejuvenate in one of the oldest natural health resorts in the United States at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa. Situated in northern New Mexico, the resort features more than 100,000 gallons of geothermal water. The property features public springs and pools, including private pools with wood-burning fireplaces. Guests can enjoy the springs just for the day, or stay overnight in the historic hotel and cliffside suites.
All-inclusive hot spring vacations are also available, like Dunton Hot Springs Resort. Situated in a former 1800s ghost town in Colorado, the ranch was built around a farm and vineyard complete with outdoor spring, swimming pools and restored Bathhouse. Nestled in the San Juan Mountains of the Colorado Rockies, the resort beckons an era of an old mining town with modern conveniences like WiFi and video conferencing.
Although you don’t need to seek out luxury resorts to enjoy hot springs, you walk away with an experience that caters to your every whim, from fine dining to spa treatments. Take your pick of resorts and ease into the warm, geothermal waters for a transformative experience.
