The Weekend of January 29th – February 1st 2026
Hot on the heels of the overwhelmingly popular inaugural Spa Month in September from Visit Greater Palm Springs, the City of Desert Hot Springs much-loved Spa Tour is making a highly anticipated return — bigger, better, and more rejuvenating than ever.
Presented by the Miracle Hill Spas Association in collaboration with the City of Desert Hot Springs, after a 10-year hiatus, this year’s Spa Tour will not only revive the cherished tradition of welcoming the public into the normally very private spas but also introduce an exciting lineup of wellness seminars, hands-on experiential classes, and spa day passes for an immersive mind-body experience.
The heart of the event, The VIP & Self-Guided Tour of the Spas on Miracle Hill, will take place Thursday, January 29th, from 2 pm–7 pm, when participating spas will open their doors to welcome the Tour for an evening of exploration and sublime relaxation. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to tour multiple facilities, meet spa professionals, and discover the healing benefits of the area’s world-famous hot mineral waters. This year, the celebration extends beyond Thursday evening, through the Spa Tour
Wellness Weekend, where participating spas will host classes, seminars, wellness activities,s and offer day passes.
- Wellness Education Seminars led by top health and spa experts.
- Experiential Spa Classes, including mindfulness sessions, mineral water therapy workshops, and beauty demonstrations.
- Exclusive Spa Day Passes for guests to indulge in soaking pools, saunas, and treatments at participating locations.
“The Spa Tour was a regional favorite for many years, and we’re thrilled that the Hoteliers are bringing it back with even more ways for people to connect with our unique wellness culture,” said Scott Matas, Mayor of Desert Hot Springs. “Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime fan, this event is your passport to the restorative magic of our mineral waters and spa traditions.”
A full calendar of events for seminars, classes, and spa day offers is available on the Event Page. A limited number of tickets are available at Eventbrite, where you can purchase
