Indian Springs Calistoga – California

If you’re headed to the north end of Napa Valley in search of a stellar, historic hot springs resort, you can find exactly what you’re looking for at the Indian Springs. This stunning resort has been an icon of Calistoga for the last 100 years and continues to attract travelers from near and far.

The resort spans over 17 acres, each showcasing more beauty and enrichment than the last. While driving or walking through the resort grounds, you will be met with lush rolling hills, breathtaking olive and palm trees, and fragrant gardens featuring the most lovely and fragrant lavender and rose bushes.

Mineral Hot Springs Pools

Calistoga is situated atop a fractionated plate that releases magma. Making contact underground, the water becomes heated and enriched with minerals before traveling to the earth’s surface at an intense heat of around 230°F.

With knowledge of how to access them, the Indian Springs resort built four on-site geysers that allow for constant streaming of the mineral waters. Cooled to an inviting temperature and rushed to all areas of the property, the resort funnels the water into the pools, steam rooms, and mud baths.

Speaking of pools, the Indian Springs resort has two wonderful options to choose from. The first choice, which is also the most popular pool, is an Olympic-sized swimming pool that was initially constructed in 1913. This pool is not only bursting with history and class, but it’s notably one of the largest pools found in California.

Also referred to as “The Pool,” the main pool features warm temperatures of 92°F to 102°F. It’s surrounded by a lavish pool area reminiscent of Old Hollywood, with an outdoor fireplace, cabana lounge, and plenty of chaises and chairs to relax in.

The other option is the “Adult Pool,” an adults-only paradise that can easily be described as the most romantic pool you’ve ever accompanied. The pool is around ten degrees cooler than the main pool and is designed to be a quiet, intimate setting complete with dramatic lighting that inspires evening swims.

Spa Services

While visiting the Indian Springs Resort of Calistoga engage in one of their famous spa treatments. These procedures are designed to take your relaxation to an all-new level, allowing you to leave the resort feeling renewed.

The Mud Bath is undeniably the most popular choice at Indian Springs. Handcrafted with mined volcanic ash and mineral water, both of which are derived on-site, the treatment involves six vital steps, each drawing you deeper into a sense of utter relaxation.

The procedure begins by easing into a mud bath that covers you blissfully from head to toe. After a nice, long soak, you’re invited to rinse off before stepping into a private tub featuring hot mineral waters while you sip a cucumber, citrus-infused beverage. From there, guests will spend time in an infrared sauna before cooling down in an intimate space.

The treatment finishes with a trip to the celebrated “Buddha Pond,” a tranquil refuge where one can meditate in the pond surrounded by a soothing garden. Indian Springs is home to many other treatments to suit your fancy. You can take your mineral spring soaks to new heights by indulging in the Rosemary or CBD soak, or let all of your aches and pains melt away with a deep tissue massage.

Refresh your skin from top to bottom by opting for one of the many facials or full body treatments, including the oxygen infusion facial or wine country sugar scrub. You can even explore the Himalayan Salt Therapy Room, where the salt’s anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties will help to improve respiration and skin conditions while promoting relaxation and well-being.
