What Makes The Springs Resort So Special?

Home to the World’s Deepest Geothermal Hot Spring

At the heart of The Springs Resort lies the famous Mother Spring, certified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the deepest geothermal hot spring in the world—over 1,002 feet deep! This natural wonder feeds the resort’s 25+ soaking pools with mineral-rich water that ranges in temperature from 95°F to 114°F.

Mineral-Rich, Healing Waters

Soakers at The Springs Resort enjoy the benefits of water infused with over 13 naturally occurring minerals—including lithium, magnesium, and potassium—believed to help with everything from stress and inflammation to circulation and skin health.

Riverside Relaxation with Mountain Views

Nestled along the scenic San Juan River, the resort’s pools are tiered to offer stunning mountain views, peaceful privacy, or social soaking, depending on your vibe. Snowfall in winter or sunshine in summer—there’s no bad season to soak here.
