Meanwhile, we recently got back from a week-long trip soaking up the thermal waters of Southern California. Among the places visited were Murrieta Hot Springs in Murrieta (natch) and Two Bunch Palms in Desert Hot Springs. Both lived up to their five-star-plus accolades and are great suggestions for your high-end wellness clients.

But for those looking for something a little less pricey, Azure Palms Hot Springs, just a hop, skip and a jump from Two Bunch Palms, serves up the same potent waters. Should your clients be more interested in staying in downtown Palm Springs, all of the aforementioned places do offer reasonably-priced day passes, which include access to the thermal pools, the regular pools, and any complimentary classes that are taking place during the visit. Another option for the downtown crowd is The Spa at Séc-he, an experiential wellness day spa owned by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.
