MURRIETA, Calif., and PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo. — The Murrieta Hot Springs Resort in Murrieta, California, and Springs Resort in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, recently launched Wellness Retreats, a new category of signature offerings designed to offer guests a deeper, more intentional approach to rest, recovery and renewal.
Building on each resort’s leadership in mineral water wellness, these curated two- and three-night Retreats transform geothermal soaking into a guided, immersive journey, each shaped by their unique setting. Each experience combines expert-led practices, restorative rituals, nature-forward activities and intentional use of geothermal waters into a cohesive stay designed to support meaningful well-being.
“Both of these destinations have always been places people came to feel better,” said Dr. Marcus Coplin, ND, medical director for The Springs Resort and Murrieta Hot Springs Resort. “Retreats are our way of honoring that heritage while bringing forward a clearer, more supported wellness experience that guests can actually carry home.”
Two Distinctive Destinations
Located on 46 acres between Los Angeles and San Diego, Murrieta Hot Springs Resort is a restored historic wellness destination originally founded in 1902 and thoughtfully revitalized by the team behind The Springs Resort. Reopened in 2024 after more than three decades of closure, the resort offers an accessible escape designed for quick resets and recovery, just a short drive from Southern California’s major urban centers yet feeling a world apart through its expansive grounds, geothermal soaking experiences, and water-centered wellness environment. Built around the healing power of geothermal mineral water, Murrieta features more than 50 soaking experiences, a central hydrotherapy bathhouse, Clay Cove mineral clay rituals and guided wellness programming.
Set along the San Juan River in the heart of downtown Pagosa Springs, The Springs Resort is a long-established wellness destination rooted in the restorative power of its geothermal mineral waters and the surrounding Rocky Mountain landscape. Its riverside soaking pools are fed by the Mother Spring, the deepest geothermal hot spring on Earth and the original source that anchors the resort’s water-centered approach to well-being, known as Soakology. The resort offers more than 50 geothermal soaking pools, a thermal spa, panoramic sauna, expanded wellness programming and its signature restaurant, Wild Finch.
Wellness Retreats
At both destinations, Retreats are offered in two- and three-night formats and organized around four wellness themes: Connect, Explore, Restore and Revitalize. Retreats are thoughtfully designed to support guests from the moment they arrive through the completion of their stay.
Each Retreat follows a curated hydrothermal itinerary aligned to its specific intention, combining geothermal soaking, contrast bathing, wellness programming and spa treatments into a structured, multiday experience designed around sequenced geothermal practices that support recovery, circulation, and nervous system balance. Along with the curated hydrothermal itinerary and guided geothermal rituals, each Retreat includes daily wellness programming, signature spa treatments, nourishing meals, special comfort-focused touches and 24-hour access to geothermal soaking.
Connect Retreat is designed to help guests feel present, supported and deeply at ease, while the Explore Retreat aims to restore energy, reignite curiosity and support both physical and mental recovery. The Restore option was created to address stress, burnout and nervous system fatigue by focusing on deep rest, stillness and long-lasting recovery. The most intensive offering, the Revitalize Retreat, is designed to boost circulation, clear fatigue and restore peak physical and mental performance.
Events
