Desert Hot Springs is a beautiful and unique little city of spas and resorts located 112 miles East of Los Angeles nestled in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains and Joshua Tree National Park, overlooking Palm Springs and the other Coachella Valley Desert Resort Cities. Desert Hot Springs is built over one of the world’s finest natural hot mineral water aquifers. Naturally occurring mineral waters bubble and percolate to the surface in this get-away-from-it-all destination. Not surprisingly, spas rule in Desert Hot Springs. You can calm and renew in polished marble resorts, retro-hip motels or ultra-exclusive celebrity retreats.

Desert Hot Springs also boasts pure and delicious award winning municipal drinking water, clean air, magnificent scenery, and easy access to all the events and attractions in the other Desert Resort Cities of the Coachella Valley.

Wide ranges of other activities are available to the Desert Hot Springs visitor. Hiking, golf, tennis, shuffleboard, sunning, shopping, sightseeing, bicycle riding, ballooning and horseback riding are all within easy reach of the Desert Hot Springs community. Museums, theatre, concerts, and other cultural events are also available in the area. There are also several casinos within a very short driving distance to those who favor fast pace gambling excitement.

With warm, sunny, clear and dry days, winter visitors find the area most attractive. There are more than 330 days of sunshine per year. The summer months are warm, but comfortable due to the low humidity and elevation above the rest of the valley.
