Hot Springs, Naturally
Find Natural Hot Springs in Reno Tahoe
Thermal spring waters are famous for their curative, relaxing elements, and Carson Hot Springs delivers the H2-Ahhhs. Its four natural mineral outdoor pools come directly from nature—specifically, 35,000 feet beneath the surface.
Temperatures from pool to pool range from 98 to 104 degrees. Some like hot, others like it hotter, and all will bask in a soaking good time surrounded by the Sierra Range. The flow-through system means pools are drained and refilled daily.
Keep the warmth going in one of the saunas (included with your entry to Carson Hot Springs). Private indoor soaks are also available.
For a hot soak on the smaller side, book a visit at Reno’s Steamboat Hot Springs Healing Center and Spa. Listed on the State Register of Historic Places, Steamboat knows there’s something in the water here—and it’s very good for you!
The natural mineral content is recommended to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and bolster your immune system. It can make your skin look good too! Sink into the small outdoor tub (ideal for one to three people) or book one of the indoor private mineral baths.
Sometimes life comes at you fast. The good news is that there’s a Reno spa to help you slow things down. The city’s huge variety of luxurious and award-winning spas ensures that you can relax and release whatever is causing that shoulder tension. Don’t let your busy day of adventures keep you from speed dialing a spa treatment. Book into The Refuge Spa in Reno, located at the city’s Riverwalk district in the Renaissance Reno Hotel.
Locally owned, and with a keen sense of what it takes to relax in urban environs, Refuge is a great place to treat yourself to any number of rejuvenating treatments, including their customizable Zen Journey Experience and Hot Stone Heaven tension tamer. If you’re in a real hurry ask Refuge about their 25-minute chair massage.
Whatever treatment you choose here, relax afterwards in their intimate Rise Bar, sipping everything from matcha lattes and Lavender Lust sodas to Huckleberry Cosmos and hard cider.
If you’re taking a full day or afternoon, try your ‘lux’ at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, awarded the prestigious four stars by Forbes Travel Guide.
