Welcome to Glen Ivy Hot Springs
Soak Into Something Better
For generations, the mineral water and natural hot springs have been at the heart of the Glen Ivy experience — inviting guests to slow down, soak deeply, and reconnect through the restorative power of water. Across 19 pools and hot springs, each experience offers its own rhythm of relaxation, from quiet moments of stillness to energizing immersion.
Rich in tradition and rooted in nature, the Water is more than a place to unwind—it is the source of renewal that defines Glen Ivy. Step in, let go, and discover the feeling of being completely restored.
Mineral Baths
The heart of the Glen Ivy experience. Heated to 104°F, this warm mineral-rich soak invites deep relaxation while helping ease muscles and soothe the body. Infused with naturally occurring sulfur, calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium, the water creates a restorative experience that has defined Glen Ivy for over 166 years.
Signature Pool The Mineral Baths
Mineral-Rich Waters
Naturally Heated by the Earth
Naturally heated to 104°F
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.
Why Our Water is Different
California’s Premier Natural Mineral Hot Spring
Our natural spring water carries a mineral profile you can truly feel — alkaline, silky, and rich with dissolved minerals drawn straight from the earth. Warm, soothing, and naturally soft on skin, it's the same healing water guests have soaked in for over 165 years.

More Ways to Soak In the Day
In addition to our signature Mineral Baths, admission includes access to all 19 pools and water experiences across the property. Whether you're seeking quiet relaxation, a refreshing dip, or a place to gather with friends, there's a space designed for every kind of wellness day.
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 awhile 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, easy-going 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.
