Soaking Around the World
- The French Spa. The therapeutic waters of Vichy, France are touted to cure everything from rosacea to rheumatism. Like the waters in the famous French spa town, the Vichy-inspired pool at WorldSprings contains dissolved bicarbonate, silica, sodium, and other minerals known for their health-boosting qualities.
- The Icelandic Lagoon. WorldSprings’ Blue Lagoon channels the famous Reykjavik springs. This pool is a favorite for rejuvenating both body and soul. The water’s dissolved minerals including lithium, potassium, and silica will leave the skin feeling soft and renewed.
- The Dead Sea. Float effortlessly in the soothing, hypersaline waters of the Dead
Sea pool at WorldSprings. One of the largest pools on the property, it is a delight to experience the sensation of zero gravity. - The Far East Respite. Visitors to springs in Japan and Korea follow strict etiquette rules including showering before soaking, tying up long hair, and not submerging their head underwater. These guidelines, while not enforced at WorldSprings, are however highly recommended.
- The Roman & Turkish Baths. Some of the most ancient soaking traditions hail from Italy and Turkey. In antiquity, everyone from Caesars to senators frequented the healing waters to reduce stress, calm nerves, and restore a sense of peace in a turbulent world.
- The Nordic Polar Plunge. Though it’s not as cold as the Nordic Seas, it’s just as invigorating. A quick dip is all it takes to feel tingly from top to toe! As Scandinavians have known for ages, alternating hot and cold water immersion not only improves circulation, nothing makes you feel more alive!
- The Ring of Fire. The tectonic belt of volcanos known as “the Ring of Fire” includes the islands of Australia, New Zealand, and Bali where hot springs bubble to the surface through fissures in the earth’s crust. Rest assured there’s no risk of earthquakes at WorldSprings, so just relax in waters that calm the nerves and reduce anxiety.
- Hot Spring Haciendas. Representing the Americas—Mexico and Guatemala—round out the soaking pool options at WorldSprings. Revered by the Mayans and Aztecs as places of sacred healing and purification, visitors can easily embrace a legacy of well-being in these South and Central American-inspired pools.
