Welcome to Glen Ivy Hot Springs

More to Your Day Than the Pools

A day at Glen Ivy has a natural rhythm. Start in the mineral baths before the crowds arrive. Book a treatment mid-morning. Drift through the afternoon. Workshops, free classes, live music, four dining spots — there’s always something to anchor your day around.

Insider Tips

Little things that make a big difference — especially if it's your first time.

Timing

Arrive early, stay late. The mineral baths and Club Mud are most relaxing before noon. The pools become more social in the afternoon — both are worth experiencing.

What to Bring

Pack like a beach day. Swimsuit (dark for Club Mud), flip flops, sunscreen, and a hat. Towels are provided. Water bottles must enter empty — fill at dispensers throughout the resort.

Treatments

Book before you arrive. Popular time slots fill weeks ahead. If you want a specific treatment on a weekend, book 2-3 weeks in advance at minimum.

Robe Rental

$30 for the day. Available at the Bath House. Worth it if you're moving between treatments — covers a lot of ground between pools and the spa.

Payment

Glen Ivy is fully cashless. Card on file at check-in covers everything. Cash tips are accepted at spa and food and beverage outlets.

Free Classes

Check the board at check-in. Yoga, AquaFit, soundbath, and fitness classes run daily — free with your day pass. Spots are limited, so sign up early.

Hydration

Drink more water than you think you need. The mineral baths and sun exposure are dehydrating. Water dispensers are placed throughout the property.

No In & Out

Once you leave, you can't re-enter. Plan your day inside the resort — everything you need is on property including dining, retail, and all treatments.

Evenings

Consider staying into the evening. If you visit Thursday-Sunday, you can add an Evenings ticket at check-in for live music and dinner service. A completely different experience after dark.
