Tucked away at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, between Palm Springs and the Joshua Tree Gateway Communities, Desert Hot Springs is best known for its plentiful hot AND cold mineral springs that rise from the naturally occurring underground aquifer beneath the desert floor. This makes it home to many boutique hotels and spa resorts, where you can experience these healing waters and spa treatments of all kinds, while surrounded by stunning mountain views in every direction, including Mount San Jacinto.

But, Desert Hot Springs isn’t all rest and relaxation! Visitors can play a round of golf, explore the town’s many historic sites, including Cabot’s Pueblo Museum or enjoy the unique landscape hiking at Mission Creek Preserve, that hosts native flora, fauna and lush wetlands. Desert Hot Springs is centrally located and only a short distance from other desert destinations like Joshua Tree National Park or the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Desert.
