WELLNESS RETREATS LAUNCH AT THE SPRINGS RESORT AND MURRIETA HOT SPRINGS RESORT

Two of America's leading wellness and hot springs destinations debut curated Retreats designed to deliver deeper, more intentional wellness experiences through expert guidance, restorative rituals, and geothermal immersion

PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo. and MURRIETA, Calif., Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Springs Resort and Murrieta Hot Springs Resort, two of the country's most recognized, award-winning wellness destinations, today announced the launch of Wellness Retreats, a new category of signature offerings designed to offer guests a deeper, more intentional approach to rest, recovery, and renewal. As wellness travel shifts toward experiences that feel both restorative and intelligently designed, Retreats meet the moment with structure, expertise, and the unmatched therapeutic potential of mineral water. Guided by a belief that true wellness balances structure, science, and space for personal transformation, both resorts integrate evidence-based hydrotherapy and experiential design into every stay.

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 experience combines expert-led practices, restorative rituals, nature-forward activities, and intentional use of geothermal waters into a cohesive stay designed to support meaningful wellbeing.

While each property's Retreats are shaped by their unique setting and sense of place, both are grounded in the same philosophy. While each property's Retreats are shaped by their unique setting and sense of place, both are grounded in the same philosophy. Wellness is most impactful when structure, science, and space work together with intention. In that alignment, mineral water becomes more than a unique amenity —it becomes a reliable pathway for recovery, nervous system support, and renewal.

"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 DISTINCT DESTINATIONS, ONE SHARED VISION
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 wellbeing, known as Soakology. With more than 50 geothermal soaking pools, a Thermal Spa, Panoramic Sauna, expanded wellness programming, and its signature restaurant, Wild Finch, the resort offers guests a setting designed for deeper rest, reconnection, and a meaningful reset from everyday stress.

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 that makes stepping away from daily stress both easy and immersive.
