    Mineral Pools & Baths

    The good stuff starts underground. For thousands of years, Calistoga's legendary geothermal mineral waters have bubbled to the surface, naturally packed with minerals that help your body relax, recharge, and feel its best. At Dr. Wilkinson's, our private hot spring feeds all three of our mineral pools, our signature mineral baths, whirlpools, and steam room—keeping The Doc's wellness tradition flowing since 1952.

    Take your pick: cool off in our refreshing 85° spring pool, settle into the perfect 95° soak, or melt into our adults-only zen zone, set to 104°. Each dip delivers the natural benefits of Calistoga's mineral-rich waters, from soothing sore muscles to softening skin and easing everyday stress. Add one of our iconic volcanic ash mud baths, and you've got the original recipe that made The Doc famous. So go ahead—soak a little longer. Doc's orders.
