Gorgeous subterranean bathhouse in the middle of Manhattan.
Bathhouse Flatiron
Amazing Japanese themed spa built around a Buddhist monastery in the Ventana wilderness. What more could you want?!
Tassajara Zen Mountain Center
Iconic hot springs perched on cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Endless selection of retreats throughout the year (but we usually like doing the “self study” option, which means we can just enjoy the food and the grounds)
Esalen Institute
Secluded and rustic hot springs in Northern California. Very basic, camping vibes.
Orr Hot Springs Resort
Natural springs in Northern Cali; nice sauna and baths (including a scorching 110+ degree spring); very hot in summer.
Harbin Hot Springs Retreat Center
🇧🇪 Belgium
Gorgeous Egyptian-themed spa nestled in the middle of the woods in Limburg. Huge variety of saunas, intricate Aufguss performances (including one with a woman dressed like a magical deer).
Elaisa Energetic Wellness
Expansive wellness complex w/ a range of spa facilities and treatments.
Waer Waters
🇩🇪 Germany
Probably our favorite bath house of all time. Sprawling and extremely well maintained.
Vabali Spa
🇵🇹 Portugal
SUPER romantic hotel where each of the rooms centers around a beautiful bath. Near Lisbon and right on the water.
