Palm Springs·The mineral ritual

The Spa at Séc-he

An ancient spring. A deeply personal escape. In downtown Palm Springs, discover the Taking of the Waters ritual: a private mineral soak drawn from the sacred spring whose water emerges at 105°F, stewarded for generations by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians.

Pair your soak with a desert-inspired massage, then take your time in the eucalyptus steam room, salt caves, and outdoor relaxation spaces.
