Shhhh! The best kept secret of summer... the Desert and Living Waters Spa.

We are a unique spa of spas. We ARE a place to detox, rest and be restored.

Listen to the words of real people who have just visited LWS:

“Wish we could have stayed longer”
My wife and I spent two days at Living Waters Spa. I have had other clothing-optional experiences before and really enjoy being nude. But my wife has never felt comfortable enough to be nude when we went to other clothing-optional spas, etc....until Living Waters Spa. Once you step foot inside the door, you are mentally transported to a safe, carefree oasis where you feel free to be yourself. The first night we were there, we soaked in the hot spring spa. I was nude and my wife wore her bathing suit. We sat and quietly talked with two other women who were soaking nude with us. There is such a non-judgmental and open vibe about the place. That night, we slept with our room door open and let the cool breezes flow through. By the next morning, as we met others for breakfast, my wife felt comfortable enough to shed her suit and enjoy the Living Waters Spa au natural. That's what is so special about Living Waters. You meet other interesting people who share your openness and acceptance (or curiosity) about being nude. If you have been thinking about experiencing a nude experience with other people, Living Waters Spa is a great place to do it. If you've never experienced social nudity, you'll never forget that feeling of taking off your clothes in your room, sliding open the door and stepping out free and naked for the first time. You'll carry that feeling of sheer joy with you the rest of your life.

“A Spa Experience in a Class of Its Own”
We are not big into reviews on the premise that those engaged in the hospitality industry are expected to deliver outstanding experiences. However, our recent stay at the Living Waters Spa spurred us to want to pass on our praises and gratitude. Our stay at the LWS was something special and beyond any preconceived notions of what to expect at a spa. The location, setting, and facilities are perfectly balanced and in such harmony with the gifts imparted by the healing mineral waters. That balance leads to a serenity that flows over all the guests resulting in an atmosphere devoid of interpersonal dynamics. You will interact, if your choose, with some interesting and great people. Finally, LWS massages elevate the practice and art of massage to a metaphysical near spiritual level. We left our stay with a changed ability to interact with our everyday lives and the ‘stress’ of trying to arrange the time for our return to LWS.

Yep, real people, real experiences! We are NOT for those who want to over-drink, party, be loud, or generally to "tox," we are the place to detox.

Come to the oasis!

New Dog Friendly Condo - 1st ever at a clothing optional spa!

DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. – The saddest thing in the world is leaving your at dog home when you go on vacation. Living Waters Spa announces the 1st ever Dog friendly condo at a clothing optional spa for vacationers who don't want to leave their "best friend" at home.

He’ll sit there at the window unmoving, sad eyes watching out for you until you finally return. You’ll worry he feels abandoned; you might worry he’ll tear up something. You know no one can take care of him like you do, and you know you won’t be able to sleep without him curled up beside you. No matter how great the resort is, something will be missing.

At Living Waters, we know you feel. That’s why we are the only European-style, clothing-optional mineral-water spa that invites you to bring your best friend with you and make yourself at home in our pet-friendly luxury condos.

All you need to bring are groceries and your dog’s favorite treats and toys. Our condos have two bedrooms with custom king-size beds dressed in fine linens; cable TV, a DVD player, Wi-Fi; granite countertops, a professional-style gas range; microwave, toaster and coffee maker; cooking utensils and flatware. Best of all, you’ll have a private patio dog run.

If you’ve never had a clothing-optional experience but have always wanted to, now is your time. At Living Waters Spa, you can feel the desert sun and mountain air on your whole body. You can swim in pure mineral water without a bathing suit. And, you can have that experience in an environment devoted to body acceptance and self-discovery.

Spend your days here days relaxing, rejuvenating and restoring, taking in our therapeutic, odor-free water, receiving soul-touching, award-winning massage and body treatments, and exploring nearby Joshua Tree National Park or sight-seeing in Palm Springs. You can take your dog for a hike in the mountains or for an outing at one of our many local dog parks.

About our spa: Completely refurbished five years ago, our nine guest rooms and massage studios retain their Mid-Century Modern spa-tel character. Our two pools are fed directly from a hot-water aquifer; we pump 20 gallons a minute, 18 hours a day, from our own well. The water in the small pool stays about 100 degrees, which is perfect for long, therapeutic soaking. We offer massage and spa treatments; a dry sauna; breakfast and afternoon hors ‘d oeuvres. Our six condos are directly across the street from the spa.
