Most of the hotels double as spas.
- Living Waters Spa and Condos, [4]. A European-style clothing optional spa. Massage treatments, including couples massage as well as other spa offerings. The hotel was built in 1960 as the Kismet Lodge in typical mid-century modern style. It was fully restored, even the Kismet Lodge neon sign in 2003. The mineral water well produces water and flows to both pools 18 hours a day, 20 gallons per minute. The small pool is always 100 degrees and the larger pool mid to upper 80s. Living Waters Spa is the only clothing-optional mineral water spa in Southern California. edit
- Two Bunch Palms Resort & Spa, 67425 Two Bunch Palms Trail, ☎ +1 (760) 329-8791, [10]. This sprawling resort set on 50 acres. Their pools are fed by a 140F natural hot spring, which is cooled and divided into a large 98F pool and a smaller 104F pool. The spa is fantastic, with top-notch masseuses and a host of other offerings. They bill themselves as a retreat, so cell phones are banned in the public areas, and whispering is preferred. Rooms and suites start around $150-200. edit
[edit] Get out
- Joshua Tree National Park – stunning landscapes. The western entrance is about 30 minutes drive.
