About this spring
Hot springs oasis on Miracle Hill overlooking Mt. San Jacinto — private wells deliver silky odorless lithium/silica-rich mineral water to courtyard pools and private ensuite tubs; day-spa access available. Fee: Day spa passes and overnight stays.
Azure Palm occupies Miracle Hill, a roughly six-block pocket of Desert Hot Springs that produces the hottest mineral water in Southern California. Homesteader Cabot Yerxa named the hill after digging two wells in 1913 — striking hot water at his door and cold Mission Springs Aquifer water 600 yards away — and the resort sits a few hundred steps from his original well, a quarter-mile from the pueblo museum built to his memory. Azure Palm's wells tap the aquifer at 174°F, the hottest in the region; the water arrives silica-rich and silky, carrying calcium, magnesium, potassium, lithium and trace minerals, and stays odorless because extreme underground heat eliminates the bacteria responsible for sulfur smell. The resort says the water begins as Mount San Gorgonio snowmelt that takes about seven years to reach the aquifer.
Day visitors can buy an Oasis Day Pass covering ten mineral pools and tubs — including what the resort calls the largest hot mineral spring pool in Southern California — plus Finnish saunas, a reflexology walk and the acre-sized desert Oasis; overnight rooms include private in-room mineral tubs.

California geothermal context
California spans several geothermal provinces: the volcanic Cascades and Modoc Plateau in the northeast, Sierra Nevada granite seeps along the eastern front, Mojave and Colorado Desert springs in the south, and the famously mineral-rich Big Sur coast. Fire season (roughly June–November) closes access to many backcountry springs without warning — always check for current fire restrictions.
What a resort site means here
A resort spring is a commercial operation: developed pools or tubs with controlled temperatures, changing facilities, and usually day-use fees or lodging packages. Expect posted rules (swimsuits, quiet hours, age limits), staff on site, and in many cases required reservations — especially on weekends and holidays.
Best time to visit
Year-Round (Best: May – October)Pool temperatures and access can change with weather and season. Outdoor ambient temperatures fluctuate significantly across California. Late spring through autumn offers the most comfortable road access.
