Walk the labyrinth,
quiet your mind and
brace yourself, you
are about to hit your
blisspoint.
83 ACRES
OF BLISS
There is a place your soul longs to be, a land of limitless
possibility, a wonderland of abundant fun. Glen Ivy is
a utopian expanse under a vast open sky, nestled in a
valley beneath the Santa Ana Mountains. A mere 50
minutes, yet a land apart, from the big c ity. Here you let go,
breathe deep, giggle and open your heart to your self and
the huge diversity of kindred spirits. This is a place that
feeds your soul, nourishes your spirit, rejuvenates body and
mind, and will leave you longing to return again and again.
With 19 pools, our signature red clay
and grotto experiences, 61 treatment
rooms, 9 mani/pedi stations, two
savory eateries, and 17 acres of
meandering garden pathways,
Glen Ivy is one of the largest spa
wellness destinations in America.

timelessness
AGELESS BEAUTY
Generations of Native Americans soaked
in these mystical waters, as have
countless travelers since 1860. Today
170,000 people a year enter our grounds
to heal and soothe soul, spirit and body.
COLD
HOT
Laps, cold plunge,
hot pool; these are
your only dec isions
for the day. What
will you do next?
LAPS
Nature’s magic conspired here to
create an ecotone, a sweet spot of two
converging, distinct ecosystems, where
nature’s abundance — an astounding
250 spec ies of birds, animals and
plants — thrive unlike anywhere else. So
it goes with their human counterparts:
thrive, flourish, renew. A fusion of past
and present, Glen Ivy is ageless beauty.
Swim laps, take
an aqua class
or sit in the quiet
tranquility of the
naturally thermal
mineral baths.

CONNECTEDNESS
Feel the energy and hear the song of birds
when you walk the lush, verdant grounds.
Splash, touch, immerse, wander, float, slather,
taste, sip and restore a feeling of connectedness to yourself and to friends in a veritable
playground of bountiful options. We’re all in
this together. Embracing life and one another
is somehow easier here, where ancient voices
resonate in a wondrous palette of nature.
Soaking in the mineral-rich
thermal waters and red clay
mud baths is a tradition
practiced around the world
since ancient times.

SAVOR THE RITUAL
The ancient rite of healing recalls a deeper part of one’s
self. Whether you are drawn to a therapeutic massage
or a thick tribal-like smear of red-mineral clay — baked
warm in the sun — you are encouraged to savor the
rituals of healthy joy here.
Deep in the Grotto, in this darkened cave, delight in
being painted from head to toe with a delic ious mix
of hydrating aloe, shea butter and coconut oil. The
options are both immersive and overflowing. There’s
no end to the delight you’ll feel both on the surface
and deep inside, here at Glen Ivy.
We use only products that
boast nature’s best and
highest-grade ingredients
to detox, moisturize and
replenish you and the
skin you are in.
QUIETUDE
SOLITUDE
Hidden at the
outermost edge of
the sanctuary is a
place where solitude
and quietude reign.

I bought a day and had access to

month throughout summer. Love this
place and the mud bath was amazing.”
