Sonoma County’s geothermal springs have been a place of rejuvenation for centuries. Indigenous people considered certain springs to be sacred and would travel for days to soak in the curative waters. Find out how you can visit these legendary springs today and soothe your body and spirit. MORTON’S WARM SPRINGS, GLEN ELLEN Nestled into a setting of oak forested hills and a lively creek, the 20-acre Morton’s Warm Springs is located about four miles from Glen Ellen’s village center. Its historic geothermal mineral springs remain accessible today in three mineral spring pools. Comfortable chaises and benches surround the pools, and there’s also a large lawn area with picnic sites and an organic café. While there, you can stroll Morton’s extensive grounds to marvel at heritage oaks and Sonoma Creek, where artesian warm springs still bubble. FAIRMONT SONOMA MISSION INN & SPA, BOYES HOT SPRINGS Enjoy the thermal waters of Boyes Hot Springs in a lavish setting at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. Originally built in 1927 in the style of California’s early missions, the property was renovated in the late 20th century. Shortly thereafter, a new thermal mineral water source was discovered more than 1,000 feet below the hotel. Spend a blissful day soaking in the pools and hot tub at the Inn’s Willow Stream Spa, where you can also indulge in a Salt Stone Massage or lavender body wrap.
