All Hot Springs in Southern California

Southern California is home to a large number of diverse natural hot springs known for their restorative and healing properties. These hot pools are scattered throughout the region, from the desert landscapes of Joshua Tree and Anza-Borrego to the forested mountains of the San Bernardino and San Jacinto ranges.



Popular Southern California Hot Springs

The terrain in Southern California is mostly desert and mountains and is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, Arizona to the east and Nevada to the northeast.

Public Hot Springs

Popular non-commercial hot springs in Southern California include Deep Creek Hot Springs in the San Bernardino National Forest and Sykes Hot Springs in the Ventana Wilderness, both of which are accessible by hiking trails. During winter, a sojourn to Saline Valley Hot Springs is tough to beat. Or, consider venturing to the pool at Gaviota Hot Springs, located on a secluded stretch of coastline.

Commercial Hot Springs

Popular commercial hot springs in Southern California include Avila Hot Springs, located just 10 miles from San Luis Obispo, and Azure Palm Hot Springs, known for its healing properties and located in Desert Hot Springs. Others include Beverly Hot Springs, featuring a traditional Korean spa experience in Los Angeles, and Esalen Hot Springs, situated on the picturesque Big Sur coastline.

Popular Hot Springs Regions in Southern California

One of the most popular hot springs destinations in Southern California is Desert Hot Springs, located just north of Palm Springs. This area boasts a high concentration of mineral-rich hot pools, where visitors can choose from a range of resorts and spas that offer hot springs access and spa treatments such as massages and body wraps.

The central coast city of San Luis Obispo is another prime location for those seeking a luxury hot springs resort experience. For hot potters seeking a more rustic and natural experience, non-commercial hot springs in the Long Valley/Mammoth region are just the ticket. Imagine a string of hot pools in an alpine landscape surrounded by snow-capped peaks.

Pack it All Out

Please remember when visiting public hot springs that if you pack it in, pack it out. It is our responsibility to keep these extraordinary places around for future generations. Don’t just pack out your trash – pack out all of the trash!
