Two Bunch Palms Resort & Spa, A Restorative Award-Winning Retreat

Cash for your car

In the dictionary, the word refuge means “shelter or protection from distress.” Two Bunch Palms Resort & Spa, nestled on the outskirts of Desert Hot Springs,  is the quintessential embodiment of a refuge or retreat from the modern day ‘distresses’ of city life – hectic schedules, noisy traffic, career demands and family obligations.

Step into Deep Tranquility

Two Bunch Palms' Mineral Hot Springs

 

Check your day planners, laptops, cell phones and frustrations at the door while you slip into a Two Bunch Palms robe, breathe in the stillness and calmness of the sacred grounds and enjoy the natural mineral springs and spa treatments. For restoring peace of mind and body and well-deserved r & r, it is just what the doctor ordered.

Award-Winning Resort

Two Bunch Palms, with its mysterious history of being the infamous Al ‘Scarface’ Capone’s hideout complete with hidden escape tunnels, a gambling hall and a stone sentry tower for machine gun-toting bodyguards, is 56 acres of rustic desert landscape surrounding manicured lush grounds of greenery and flowering trees, bubbling brooks, hidden meditation coves, citrus orchards and a tranquil pond chock-full of turtles, fish and ducks to interact with. For two consecutive years, it was won the “Favorite Hot Springs Spa” in the annual SPA magazine Silver Sage Readers’ Choice Awards. USA Today, ranked them as one of ten great places to relax your mind and body in 2008.

Get Dirty to Detox

Besides spending your day floating in the muscle-relaxing hot springs or watching the roadrunners and rabbits roam, their spa treatments are award-winning as well. As featured in the 1992 “The Player” film, Tim Robbins’ character, to get away from the rat race of the Hollywood movie industry, made Two Bunch Palms’ mud baths famous. This unique experience allows you to float weightlessly in a tub filled with a warm mixture of peat moss and their own mineral-fortifying clay and waters – a welcoming treatment to detox the body of impurities and city pollution.

Relax with the exotic Mud and Sun Treatment.

Graceful as a Dolphin

Gracefully gliding through the warm mineral water like a dolphin, one surrenders all sense of time, responsibility and gravity during a “Wassertanzen” treatment, one of the latest advancements in spa treatments offered at Two Bunch Palms. Developed in Switzerland in 1987, Wassertanzen, also referred to as Water Dance, incorporates elements of massage, shiatsu, dolphin and snake-like movements and dance in the weightless realm of warm water. It’s the ultimate in physical and mental relaxation, and even deep states of meditation and bliss.

Curative Powers of the Desert

Unsure of which restorative treatment you most need? No fretting this aspect either as they offer balanced spa packages which allow you to try a little of everything they offer, including personalized massages utilizing their own organic aromatherapy oils, volcanic clay facials, Cranio-Sacral, Chai-tea body wraps, salt glows, and reflexology to name a few. With over 50 treatments, their website has the spa descriptions to get the most out of your spa experience.

Two Bunch Palms Accommodations

At Two Bunch Palms, both historic and modern guestrooms, suites and villas are thoughtfully positioned in the natural hot springs grotto area, amid the resort’s beautiful lush grounds, mineral pools, wildlife and tennis areas. Sheltered by ancient palms and giant tamarisk trees, these stoic Desert Hot Springs hotel accommodations invite moments of quiet contemplation, in which the sound of your life softly emerges from the silence. They also offer villas or casitas with your own jacuzzi or private garden. For the ultimate retreat, rent their ‘House on the Hill’, a house set apart from the rest of the property, perched on a hill with stunning views of the San Bernadino Mountains and the town of Desert Hot Springs. Or to experience it as the gangster in hiding did, rent the authentic Al Capone two-bedroom suite.

Just one of the 52 guestrooms to suit your needs.
