The historic Murrieta Hot Springs Resort will reopen to the public for the first time in nearly 30 years next month.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at the end of January before the property officially opens on Feb. 1, the resort posted on its website.
“For centuries the healing mineral waters of the Murrieta Hot Springs have attracted visitors seeking restoration and rejuvenation,” the website stated.
The historic resort, built over 100 years ago, spent nearly 30 years as a Bible college and Christian retreat center before being sold in 2022.
The new owners have been refinishing the property to reopen to the public as a wellness resort and hotel.
The resort will offer spa services, several types of soaking, 174 hotel rooms and some buildings that date back to the early 20th century, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The area’s healing geothermal waters, which flow into a lake at Murrieta Hot Springs Resort, were first discovered by the region’s Native Americans.
“Our water comes out of the ground at about 125 to 130 degrees, depending,” Dr. Marcus Coplin, the resort’s medical director, told the Times, noting that the water is cooled to 104 degrees or less before guests bathe.
Several minerals, including calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, bicarbonates, chloride, fluoride and boron, are naturally found in the water.
“In addition to soft, nourished skin, soaking in these mineral-rich waters has proven to relax the muscles and relieve inflammation,” the resort stated.
Reservations can be made on the Murrieta Hot Springs Resort website with rooms starting at $399 and increasing to over $400 on Fridays and Saturdays. Day passes costing $89 for adults and $45 for children are also available.
