Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa
Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa is a peaceful oasis nestled in the Sangre De Cristo mountains of the San Luis Valley, where people from all walks of life come to experience its soothing waters – to heal and find peace from the stress of their daily lives.
We are a sanctuary, a community, and a retreat where our mineral hot springs’ healing water and therapies awaken the hearts and uplift the spirits of all who come.
We invite you to join us at our peaceful spa for a relaxing retreat. Enlighten your senses with our rejuvenating waters, relaxing massage therapies, and magnificent views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range.
Lodging & Rest
We offer a variety of accommodations, ranging from our comfortable hotel rooms with private bathrooms and aspen-wood furniture, to our tipis, all-season yurts or RV and camp sites.
Each overnight guest enjoys complimentary soaking in the mineral hot springs from the day of arrival through day of departure, as well as daily breakfast and dinner.
Pools
Although the water rises from the travertine springs at between 120°F and 145°F, we maintain our pools between 98°F and 108°F. The water is a sodium bicarbonate type with significant levels of boron, calcium, lithium and magnesium along with several other beneficial minerals.
All of our pools are filled with the natural, mineral-rich, geothermically heated water that rises in artisanal springs on the property. Each pool is drained and cleaned nightly. The jacuzzi hot tubs are cleaned weekly. Sorry, no children under the age of 5 in the pools or jacuzzies, please.
-
The 98°F cool pool is perfect for those with a low tolerance for hot water, yet still want to get the benefit of our minerals.
-
The 104°F medium pool (aka The Tower Pool) is a great middle temperature for soaking.
-
The 108°F hot pool (aka The View Pool) is ideal for those who prefer a hotter temperature, and for those with arthritis, joint and muscle pain – with spectacular views of the mountains.
-
Our two jacuzzi hot tubs are maintained at 104°F, and, like The Tower Pool, offer a great middle temperature for soaking.
