Natural Mineral Hot springs.
Miracle Manor sits atop Miracle Hill in Desert Hot Springs, California, where health-giving, naturally hot and cold mineral springs were discovered over 100 years ago. At the top of this hill, closest to the source, Miracle Manor provides its guests with unlimited access to two sparkling pools filled with this natural wonder.
Emerging from the ground at 155 degrees Fahrenheit and cooled to 90 degrees in the swimming pool and 104 degrees in the soaking tub, the heat of the water plays an important role in balancing the body’s systems and allowing the skin to absorb its nourishing minerals.
Among core spa traditions, soaking in mineral water restores and revitalizes the body. Known as Balneotherapy, the practice has long been used to improve circulation, strengthen the immune system, and relieve pain and stress.
The unique composition of this mineral water is world famous for its therapeutic and mood-enhancing properties: low in sulfur and rich in lithium. Once immersed in our waters, you’ll experience a level of nourishment and rejuvenation never felt before.
