Wilbur's Hot Mineral Springs - "In all the world no waters like these."

Without a doubt, the main highlight of a stay at Wilbur Hot Springs are the natural hot mineral water baths. More than a century ago, Wilbur Hot Springs was known for the therapeutic mineral waters that heal the body and soothe the soul -- both by European settlers and Native Americans.

Those who immerse themselves in Wilbur's natural hot springs discover immediately that the water has a lovely "silkiness" to it. The remarkable healing properties in the water enter the body in a way similar to how a transdermal patch releases its medicine. And the rare and unique configuration of minerals in the water sets Wilbur apart from all the other hot spring resorts and spas in Northern California.

Flumes

Onsen Hotel
Sheltered by a Japanese-style “Fluminarium,” the water is channeled into three long “flumes” with average temperatures of 98, 105 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot waters in the flumes are enhanced by a large, cool-water spring fed pool with splendid vistas of the surrounding hills, an outdoor hot mineral sitting flume and a dry sauna. There's lots of space for enjoying Wilbur's Creek and the surrounding mountain view on the massive deck, which connects all of the hot spring areas.

The bath area is private, and clothing is optional in the flumes, sauna and deck areas (although clothing is required everywhere else on the property).

Come for the day or stay as long as you like. Soak in the healing magic of Wilbur Hot Springs in Northern California. Open day and night to registered guests, the flume areas are quiet and serene. A safe, private haven where courtesy and modesty prevail.

Enhance Your Experience at Wilbur with Yoga and Message
To further enhance your well being, Wilbur offers complimentary yoga on weekends on the deck. Trained instructors teach various types of yoga, and all experience levels are welcome. To further enhance your stay, Wilbur offers massage treatments, performed by licensed therapists trained in a variety of techniques, including Esalen, Swedish and deep tissue work.

Guest Reviews

"Of all the places I've visited so far in California this is my favorite. This is the place where I'd want to stay. I feel the most respect here as a person and the least kind of "cultiness" that I did experience at some of the other [hot] springs." Daniel Vitalis | View more of Daniel's YouTube Videos of Wilbur.

		Modest Guest "I am very modest in public. My private life is my private life. So these clothing optional hot springs have never been my thing... I decided Wilbur was classy enough and not a "pick up scene." So I took a chance and went. The hotel is clothing required and not silent. The respect people gave each other by being clothed at the hotel was appreciated. Nudity is allowed in the flume area only. Most people wear their robes to the pool, undress right before getting in and redress upon getting out. There is zero gratuitous nudity here. This modest gal was very comfortable to her pleasant surprise." Karen F. \| Fort Bragg, CA at Yelp

		The closest thing we have to an onsen in California. "It's super laid-back, restful, beautiful, and the people are nice who work and visit there. The mineral baths are not sex separated like most of the places in Japan, and are clothing optional..."
