Castle Hot Springs in Arizona opened in 2020 on a 1,100-acre property centered around rejuvenating geothermal hot springs that have been naturally forged into the land over 13,000 years and flow at a clip of 200,000 gallons each day. The entire resort is focused on nourishing the mind, body, and soul by maximizing the benefits of the hot springs’ unique mineral mixture – particularly rich in Lithium, Magnesium, and Bicarbonates which together help lift your mood, calm your mind, and ease physical stress. In addition to soaking in the geothermal springs and indulging in the resort’s wellness treatments, guests can choose from a variety of outdoor activities including stand up paddleboard yoga, horseback riding, hiking, and training in archery amongst the resort’s surrounding rugged terrain; pickle and bocce ball on the great lawn; and the state’s first-ever Via Ferrata course.
