Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs
Ojo Caliente’s tradition runs as deep as our mineral hot springs. We became the country’s first health spa when we opened the doors of our bathhouse in 1868, and since then, people have traveled from near and far to absorb the mental and physical health benefits of soaking in pools rich in healing minerals, built out of the landscape. Each of our hot spring pools is naturally sulfur-free and rich in four elements: iron, arsenic, soda, and lithia.
