About these waters

Set on 77 palm-shaded acres in Desert Hot Springs, this adults-only wellness resort draws on one of the oldest continuously operating mineral-water sources in California and markets itself as North America's first carbon-neutral resort. Guests move between the communal Grotto pool, private soaking tubs, and a full spa, with yoga, meditation, and farm-driven dining on the schedule. Day passes have historically been offered but are limited and vary with occupancy, so call ahead before visiting.

Good to know

  • Listing researched October 2026 — prices and hours change, always confirm with the spring before visiting.
  • Hydrate between soaks and limit hot soaks to 15–20 minutes — mineral water dehydrates fast.
  • Wild springs run on the honor system: pack out everything, leave the pool cleaner than you found it.

Two Bunch Palms: FAQs

Do I need to book Two Bunch Palms in advance?

For day-use admission, popular resorts sell out on weekends — if the official site offers reservations, book ahead. Weekday visits are usually easier as walk-ins.

Are kids welcome at Two Bunch Palms?

Many developed springs welcome families, but age rules, family hours, and adults-only pools vary by property. Check the official site for the current policy before visiting with children.

How long should I soak at Two Bunch Palms?

Start with 15–20 minutes, then cool off and hydrate before going back in. Hot mineral water dehydrates you faster than you expect — drink water between soaks and don't push through dizziness.
