What a remarkable, one of a kind spa and wellness retreat! Everytime I visit I fall in love all over again with Sagewater. Desert nights are delightfully quiet with great stargazing, swaying palms and beautiful warm breezes. You are in your own private oasis of calm and serenity. After just a little soaking in the mineral pools, your body feels... More

The highlight of the experience was definitely the two pools-natural hot springs pool and one that was cooled but still warm. The rooms were clean with 50s style architecture and basic furnishings. The mattress on the bed was so hard that I could not sleep all night. The place is in the middle of the desert with a few run... More

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a weekend here while planning hikes and day trips into Joshua Tree. We loved the design and comfort of our room and the common area, and wished we could have stayed for a week! The pools truly are amazing, and no one could escape being rejuvenated by the desert and the hot springs. But most... More

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sagewater Spa. Our plans were to take a few days to hike and photograph Joshua Tree. After a day in the desert it was very refreshing to come back to the Sagewater. Cristina and Rhonie were excellent hosts and took care of our every need. The rooms were... More

We had such a lovely weekend at Sagewater. Rhonie and Cristina are so welcoming and immediately provide a friendly and comfortable environment in which to relax and restore. The rooms are clean and inviting at the same time. Our room had a lovely view of the San Jacinto range and the windmills in the distance. I will return to this... More

This little spa is situated up on a hill overlooking the working class town of Desert Hot Springs and is perfect for couples who want to relax in a very private setting. The pool and hot tub were spectacular after we spent our days walking around the summit of Mount San Jacinto and Joshua Tree Park. The rooms are minimalist... More

Sagewater Spa is a place that my husband and I visit 3 to 4 times a year. We both work in the service industry and we see and talk to people all day. So when we decide on where we want to go for a week or a long weekend somewhere to UNPLUG, where it is warm of course, we... More

I just got back from Sagewater Spa and enjoyed every quiet minute of it. I headed to the desert to hike, but found myself spending more time at the spa than I had anticipated. The staff was attentive and calming, and the hot springs pool healed my tired muscles. It was hard to leave.

Sagewater is not your average hotel, it is a sanctuary, a mental retreat from the all the noise and chaos of the world. My partner and I arrived here looking for a much needed rest from the city grind. We were greeted by Cristina, who welcomed us with their delicious homemade coffee cake.
