It was the Native Americans who first discovered the curative powers of North Carolina’s naturally-heated hot springs. Whether the result of ancient magic or a natural miracle, we’re sure that these soothing mineral waters make the Hot Springs Resort and Spa the ultimate nature-inspired spa escape.
The Hot Springs Resort and Spa features its namesake mineral waters in nearly all of its spa services. Smooth Basalt stones are heated in the waters for the Hot Stone Massage, while the waters are mixed with Dead Sea Salts for the Salt Glow body treatment. But the resort’s true gems are its 12 outdoor mineral baths, consisting of Jacuzzi-style tubs filled with piping-hot mineral water. Stroll along scenic paths to the spacious wooden decks that surround each tub. We think they’re the perfect spot to take in the sweeping Appalachian Mountain views and soothing sounds of Spring Creek.
We recommend the Hot Springs Suites: lavishly appointed suites with mineral water-filled hot tubs. For a more private getaway, seek out the secluded log cabins and campsites that line the French Broad River. The nearby Appalachian Trail is the ultimate hiking destination and a perfect prelude to a mineral water soak.
