7th Anniversary of Living Waters Spa


DESERT HOT SPRINGS: Living Waters Spa celebrates 7 years of providing guests with "more than a vacation" in a European-style swimsuit optional environment, magical massages, and pure natural mineral water pools.

When Jeff and Judy Bowman had their first clothing optional experience in the year 2000, little did they know that in as short as three years later they’d open their own resort and now this November they celebrate 7 years of business at Living Waters Spa: a European-style Clothing Optional Resort.

“Time has gone by quickly” says Jeff, “and we are so pleased to have built a business that not only has matured well beyond the start-up phase but is thriving.” Currently Living Waters Spa enjoys an over 73% repeat rate and is the only clothing optional natural mineral water spa in Southern California. “We’ve had guests from 49 different states, Canada, all over Europe and beyond. They come for our pure mineral water pools, magical massage, and a clothing optional experience.”

Living Waters Spa is one of the Top Ten clothing-optional resorts in the world according to TripAdvisor.com and has won the “hidden gem” award from TripAdvisor 4 times in the past seven years. These awards from TripAdvisor are quickly becoming among the most coveted in the hotel industry because they are voted on by millions of real travelers who gather to share their opinions on the world's largest travel community: TripAdvisor.com.

“More than a vacation” according to Judy, is what they provide the guests at Living Waters Spa. “People come from all walks of life, all ages, sizes and shapes to enjoy our pure mineral and do so with the option of not wearing a bathing suit. Jeff and I feel that our spa is special in that our guests leave the spa fully refreshed, rejuvenated, and restored as a person. Living Waters Spa is a place to be still, to listen, to sense, to feel, to breathe life, and to receive a transformative massage.”

The spa has two primary types of accommodations: 9 rooms around the pools and 6 condos a few steps away. All feature a custom mattress, fine linens, and European style décor. Most of the rooms around the pools have kitchens, and in keeping with the spa concept, do not have phones or TVs. The condos are all two bedroom units. The fully furnished kitchens have granite or tile kitchen countertops, and the comfortable living room features a flat screen TV and DVD player. All accommodations have free wireless broadband internet access.

The pools at Living Waters Spa flow with mineral water that comes out of the earth odorless and pure. The smaller pool is like a large Jacuzzi, covered with an awing so guests can sit in the mineral water and be out of the sun. It is always at a perfect 100 degree temperature. The large pool is under the sun-kissed desert sky and has a mid-80 degree temperature, even in winter.

“You don’t have to be a nudist or naturist to experience the clothing optional aspect of Living Waters Spa” says Jeff. “In fact the vast majority of our guest would not use those terms to describe themselves. These days clothing optional vacations are the fastest growing segment in the travel industry. Living Waters Spa has had some wonderful recognition as THE place to try a simple nude, naked or clothing optional experience. USA Today and the Ellen Degeneres / AOL websites have singled us out as THE place to try the ol’ fashioned skinny-dipping. We are quite proud of these mentions as they show that Americans are starting to learn what Europeans have known for a long time, that nude doesn’t mean lewd!”

Living Waters Spa is also the only clothing optional resort to offer discounts for guests under 30 years of age, those who are in active military, or who are survivors of breast cancer. “We are here with a passion to help people,” says Jeff, “and our discounts especially provide these groups the chance to take a break, reconnect with their partner, and restore their soul.”

Please feel free to contact them if you have any questions about having a clothing optional experience or want to experience “more than a vacation.” Living Waters Spa can be reached at 760-329-9988 / 866-329-9988 or http://www.livingwatersspa.com/ and www.SpaCondos.com.

Couples Erotic Massage Workshop


If you are a monogamous couple interested in learning erotic massage for each other, where do you go? Sure, there are instructional DVDs that might work, but they can be kind of “porn-ish.” You’ve heard of Tantra and it sounds mysterious and sexy but you may not be into new-age spirituality. Terms and concepts such as chakras, meridians, and kundalini awakening can be rather baffling and unfamiliar.

So where does a couple go to expand their relationship, grow closer to each other, and celebrate sensuality in a safe monogamous context?

The answer: Living Waters Spa! On July 23,24 such a workshop will be held at the desert’s only mineral water, clothing optional spa, Living Waters Spa. This event is called “Hot Summer Nights.” It will be led by owners and massage therapists Jeff and Judy Bowman who have conducted this workshop several times each year since they opened their spa in 2003. “We wanted to create a workshop that we would want to attend, one that would allow us to explore our sensuality in a safe monogamous context and learn some new approaches to our sex life,” says Jeff. “As massage therapists we know the power of touch. As a couple we’ve been together for 37 years and have worked through many of the issues that block intimacy between a couple. So we’ve put together a weekend workshop that will teach various massage techniques which will give you new tools for the toolbox of intimacy & romance.”

"We have designed this weekend to be a sacred experience that is full of sensuality and joy”, said Judy. The weekend starts on Friday night where couples will learn to give each other a sensuous massage that is as pleasant for the giver as for the receiver. Various massage techniques and body positions will be taught to make it an enjoyable session. This aids the couple to grow in their ability to communicate with their partner via touch. No massage experience needed.

Then on Saturday afternoon the “heat is on.” In “Woman’s Hour” the man will focus on his woman. For about 90 minutes Jeff and Judy share erotic bodywork and sensual touch focused on the woman. In the evening the “Man’s Hour” is held where the woman will focus on her man. During all sessions Jeff and Judy describe and demonstrate on each other the intimate massage and erotic bodywork exercises while instructing the couples as they work on their own partners. “We don’t know of another workshop like this,” say Jeff and Judy, “where couples can learn specific massage exercises that they may have never tried before, where they can discuss aspects of sexuality that are often left unsaid or only in the pages of Cosmo!”

“In prior workshops we’ve had couples of all ages, and as you know, sexuality is far different for a twenty-something couple compared to a sixty-something couple. But as people open up and share during the weekend many wonderful ideas are discovered by all. Some couples have expressed concern regarding the presence of other people in the same room. We can tell you that while there are other couples (limited to 8) you are so concentrated on your partner that the rest are blocked out.” A note: access to Living Waters Spa is restricted during Hot Summer Nights to those participating in the workshop.

Living Waters Spa is a European-style clothing optional natural spring water spa resort that has been featured in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, EllenDegeneres.com, the Washington Post and the spa is currently top rated on TripAdvisor.com. It offers its guests a chance to get away, get in touch with life, and rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit. Hot mineral water has been sought out by health enthusiasts the world over and Europeans have gone to the hot baths since ancient days. The mineral water found at Living Waters is odorless, tasteless, and colorless.

The cost of “Hot Summer Nights” is $395.00 per couple plus room rates. LivingWatersSpa.com will provide you with more information or you can call Living Waters Spa at: 760-329-9988.


Hugh Jackman's Ideal Date Night: Skinny-Dipping


According to People Magazine - "Celebrating his 14th wedding anniversary on April 11 to wife Deborra-Lee Furness, PEOPLE's 2008 Sexiest Man Alive Hugh Jackman says his favorite date nights consist of going to the movies – and swimming naked. "I'm here with my wife watching a movie – that's a pretty good date," Jackman, 41, told PEOPLE at Tuesday's New York premiere of Date Night, starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey. "Other than that, skinny-dipping in [Sydney, Australia's] Bondi Beach at midnight!"

Couples come to Living Waters Spa for their wedding anniversary, birthday, or just to get-away and enjoy a "time out" with their partner. If you've never tried the ol' fashion skinny-dipping, you are missing out on an amazing experience - especially here at Living Waters Spa. Our pools are filled with pure, odorfree, mineral water right from mother earth. We have our own well and pump directly from the earth into both of our swimming pools. In fact, we are the ONLY clothing-optional mineral water spa in Southern California.

Our facility is completely private and "European style" clothing-optional. You are encouraged to soak in our healing mineral waters au naturel and enjoy this total immersion in nature. For generations Europeans have visited the "spas" and have sunbathed nude. We Americans are now realizing how relaxing this "nude recreation" can be. Swimsuit optional vacations are now becoming common for us and we are discovering what our European friends have known all along -- such simple nudity is total freedom. We've designed our place to give "first timers" the best clothes free experience possible. At Living Waters Spa we provide you the coolest vacation souvenir of all: no tan-lines!

So, what are you waiting for? Come to the oasis... 760-329-9988

Allure's Nude Issue Hits Newsstands


Allure magazine's annual Nude Issue hit newsstands this week. Inside six celebrities pose nude and according to the article, "gained serious body insight." American Idol judge and songwriter Kara DioGuardi and singer Colbie Caillat both described the experience as "liberating." DioGuardi describes her struggles with binge eating and depression in her 20s, so posing nude was "something of a personal triumph." Other celebrities featured in the issue are Regina Hall, Emmanuelle Chriqui, a pregnant Jessica Capshaw and Catherine Zeta-Jones. See here for the full article.

Here at Living Waters Spa, our guests have similar experiences to that of Kara... Sometimes the women are afraid to "bare all" because they feel their bodies are not perfect. Not to mention we have so sexualized the naked body... Well what typically happens is that our female guests realize that they are just like other women and no one "looks" or even cares!


Come for a visit to Living Waters Spa and get "liberated!"

Tennis Channel at Living Waters Spa

On 3/15/2010 the Tennis Channel came to Living Waters Spa! Each year in March the BNP Paribas Open is held at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Indian Wells, California. The Tennis Channel came to Living Waters to create a feature that will air during next years BNP Paribas Open.

The BNP Paribas Open, considered by many to be the "Grand Slam of the West", is the fifth most-attended tennis tournament next to the Grand Slams. It is one of the few major events combining both men and women over a two-week period on the ATP and Sony Ericsson WTA Tours. Held annually at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, a state-of-the-art facility boasting a 16,000 seat stadium, the second largest in the world is one of the world's most beautiful venues for watching the top professionals compete. In 2007, 303,398 people attended the event, making it the first tournament, outside of the Grand Slams, to ever pass the 300,000 mark.

It was fun giving them the 3 reasons people come to Living Waters Spa - 1) Our clothing optional vacation experience. 2) Our pure nature mineral water pools - we pump pure mineral water from our own hot water well 18 hours a day at the rate of 20 gallons a minute. The water "flows" thru our pools and back to the earth. 3) Our amazing massage - aimed to be one of the Top 5 you'll ever have.

They took video of our courtyard; pools; massage studio; and poolside rooms. This isn't the only time we've had TV crews here. Several years ago we had the Travel Channel do a segment on us for "Lawrence of America" a show that featured a Brit who found himself doing fun and different things here in America.
