Turtle Back Mesa Bed & Breakfast, California

Turtle Back Mesa Bed & Breakfast – Indio, California

November 18, 2022 By //  by Patricia K

If you’re looking for a clothing-optional hot spring refuge with lodging, go no farther than the Turtle Back Mesa Bed & Breakfast. The California city of Desert Hot Springs is known as the state’s “Spa Capital,” and that’s precisely where this inn can be found.

Slow time down by embracing a B&B that encourages sleeping when you’re weary, eating when you’re hungry, and enjoying the desert scenery. The peacefulness of Turtle Back Mesa makes it an ideal location for a clothes-optional vacation.

Although it’s not required to be disrobed, guests at the lodge should be at ease in a clothing-optional setting. There are turtle paintings, turtle trivets, turtle shell musical instruments, and turtle-inspired artwork all throughout the place.

There is no day usage available; all guests must stay overnight.

The two hot tubs, swimming pool, and wintertime radiant floor heating are all heated by 139 °F mineral water drawn from a 425-foot well on the site. There are no extra chemicals in the spas.

Both hot tubs provide breathtaking views of the desert and mountains, including Mt. San Jacinto (the second-highest peak in Southern California) and the Santa Rosa Range. A 16′ x 9′ spa and a 6′ hot tub have temperatures of 100 and 102 °F, respectively. The outdoor hot springs pool ranges in temperature from 70 to 90 °F.

There are three rooms at Turtle Back Mesa, one of which is accessible to those with disabilities. They all look out onto the hidden courtyard and pool in the center of the resort, providing the perfect setting for some R&R. Even though there is complimentary WiFi, this is a great place to ditch electronics and truly unplug from the chaotic world. There is a strict no-pet policy in place.

The rooms have no TVs, clocks, radios, or phones. A complimentary breakfast is included. Due to health standards, guests cannot bring any food or drink inside their rooms. Please let the staff know if you or your party have any dietary restrictions.
