Desert Hot Springs, California
December 2019

By Ross Belfer

There’s little you can say about Two Bunch Palms, an understated resort with private access to soul-warming natural hot springs, without becoming totally ecstatic. The feeling rendered at this desert bolthole belittles any 6-star hotel or swanky urban boutique: it’s restorative waters are powerful to remove mental toxics and parlay its guests into a conscious euphoria. On a recent three-day excursion to southern California, our ambitions got us ahead of ourselves. The resulting reality is that we did not leave the hotel grounds once. Never before has this happened, and as eager as ever, nothing sounded better than a day-to-night soak in an oasis-like thermal pool, which was conveniently just 10-meters from our suite. A CBD treatment, mud bath, arnica wrap and lymphatic massage later, I left as good as new, ready to take on the world with even more force than I could remember.
