Hot Spring Spas
The centuries-old hot mineral springs which flow beneath the Spa Zone are world-renowned for their health and rejenuvative powers. Indiginous peoples to early Europeans have flocked to hot mineral spring spas for centuries to experience the restorative and curative values of the mineral waters. The practice of “taking the waters” for therapeutic purposes is as popular today as it was in the days of the Roman baths.

Azure Palm Hot Springs offers incredible day spa use along with an array of massages, body wraps, and facials. We love Jason and Mercedes for massages. The Himalayan salt room is the only one of it's kind in the Coachella valley. It's deeply relaxing and perfect for restoration. Their outdoor pool is huge and gorgeously warm. They've recently opened up the outdoor garden area with private soaking tubs. It's divine! If you order a spa service, you get 10% off your day spa fee.
