The Experience
Club Mud
Reconnect with the earth through one of Glen Ivy's most beloved traditions. Apply mineral-rich red clay mud, bask in the warmth of the California sun, then rinse and relax as your skin is left feeling soft, refreshed, and renewed — all included with admission.
Welcome to Glen Ivy Hot Springs
Where Wellness Gets a Little Messy
Discover Glen Ivy's signature Club Mud experience, a playful and restorative wellness ritual centered around mineral-rich California red clay. Guests are invited to apply warm red clay mud to the skin, relax in the sunshine as it dries naturally, and enjoy a moment of connection with nature and self-care.
Unique to Glen Ivy and included with admission, Club Mud has become one of Southern California's most iconic spa and wellness experiences — bringing together mineral wellness, outdoor relaxation, and a tradition guests have loved for generations.
Club Mud
One of Glen Ivy's favorite experiences. Mineral-rich California red clay and Glen Ivy's geothermal mineral waters come together in a playful wellness ritual designed to refresh the skin and reconnect guests with nature. Equal parts therapeutic and joyful, Club Mud has defined the Glen Ivy experience for generations.
Signature Experience Club Mud
Therapeutic Benefits
Clay Today, Glow Tomorrow
Rich in natural minerals, California red clay helps cleanse and refresh the skin as part of this restorative ritual. As it dries, the clay gently exfoliates by lifting away surface impurities and dull skin, leaving skin feeling smoother and softer. The experience encourages a sense of reset — revitalizing both body and mind through a simple connection with nature.
Best Enjoyed After Club Mud
Discover The Grotto
For the ultimate skin ritual, finish at Club Mud 15-20 minutes before your Grotto experience. While Club Mud's mineral clay gently exfoliates and refreshes, The Grotto invites you into a cave-like sanctuary where you're painted neck to toe in a deeply hydrating blend of aloe vera, coconut oil, eucalyptus, shea butter, and lavender — locking in moisture for skin that feels renewed from every angle.
19 Pools. Endless Ways to Unwind.
Beyond our signature Club Mud, admission includes access to all 19 pools and water experiences across property. Whether you're craving quiet solitude, a refreshing plunge, or a spot to gather with friends, there's a pool designed for exactly how you want to spend your day.
Mineral Baths
Unlike traditional resort pools, our mineral baths are fed by a natural geothermal source, emerging from deep beneath Glen Ivy's canyon at a soothing 104°F. Rich in naturally occurring minerals and untouched by chemicals or additives, these waters have traveled through layers of earth before reaching the surface — creating an experience that looks different, feels different, and leaves skin feeling softer, smoother, and renewed.
Saline Pool
Warm and inviting at 104°F, this soothing soak is enriched with Epsom salt, a naturally occurring mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. Known to help relax the nervous system and ease muscle tension, it also supports relief from back discomfort and helps draw impurities from the body while leaving skin feeling refreshed and renewed.
Vista Pool
Set at a soothing 102°F, surrounded by sweeping views of the Santa Ana Mountains and lush resort grounds — Vista Pool features naturally occurring mineral water rich in sulfur, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium. These essential minerals are known to support overall wellness by stimulating the immune system and encouraging healthy gland function.
Hot & Cold Plunge Pools
An invigorating hydrotherapy circuit designed to awaken the body and support circulation. Move between warm water (101.5°F-102.5°F), where blood vessels naturally expand, and cold plunges (55°F-65°F), where they gently constrict. Repeated in cycles, this contrast helps stimulate blood flow and leaves you feeling energized, refreshed, and rebalanced.
Lounge Pool
Located in the heart of the resort, the Lounge Pool is our largest and most social gathering space. Shallow, open, and inviting, it's designed for relaxed connection — whether you're floating, reclining, or catching up with friends. Settle in, sip, and stay while as the day drifts by.
North & South Pools
Located on the sun-drenched north side of the resort, this pair of pools offers a bright, open space to unwind throughout the day. Drift in the warm water, soak up the sun, or retreat to a shaded cabana for added comfort—available with a cabana upgrade. A relaxed, easygoing setting designed for lingering and leisure.
Lap Pool
Designed for movement and renewal, the Lap Pool is our dedicated exercise pool. Home to daily AquaFit and AquaTone classes, it offers an energizing space to build strength, improve mobility, or simply enjoy a refreshing swim at your own pace.
Ivy Terrace Cabana Pool
Tucked away on the Ivy Terrace, this intimate pool is reserved exclusively for Cabana guests. Designed for a quieter pace, it offers a private setting to unwind, cool off, and enjoy a more secluded resort experience away from the main pools.
Roman Baths
Located within the Bath House changing rooms, The Roman Baths offer a quiet indoor escape inspired by classical design. Framed by stone colonnades, arches, and mosaic details, these pools create a serene setting to unwind, refresh, and transition through your day at the resort.
