Rejuvenate your body in scenic Manitou Springs at the SunWater Spa. It’s a wonderful hot springs resort, complete with numerous soaking pools and spa treatments.
The resort is only a ten-minute drive from downtown Colorado Springs, making it the closest hot springs to the city. The tubs here are a bit more private than a standard pool as they are reserved for your personal use.
Natural Hot Spring Pools
There are a dozen outdoor cedar mineral tubs, ranging from 99℉ to 104℉. Each tub can fit 4 guests (with one able to accommodate 6) and can be reserved in 90-minute sessions. Inside on the first floor, there is a saline pool, which guests have access to during their session, as well as two cold plunges. A traditional sauna is also available.
The mineral water is sourced locally from Manitou’s 7 Minute Spring. Guests must be aged 14 years and up to use the facility. All the tubs face southwest, showcasing the magnificent alpine views surrounding Manitou Springs.
The twelve personal cedar tubs include:
- Cameron Cone
- Mont Manitou
- Sugarloaf Mountain
- Red Mountain
- Sheep Mountain
- Iron Mountain
- Raspberry Mountain
- Eagle Mountain
- Rocky Mountain
- Garden of the Gods
- 7 Minute Spring
- Mary’s Mountain & Sauna
