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.”
