Indian Springs Calistoga - Overnight resort stay required in Calistoga, CA (2026)
Historic Calistoga property with Olympic-length mineral pool, adults-only soaking grotto, and signature mud baths using geyser-fed water. Palm-lined decks and Art Deco details make it feel timeless.
Indian Springs Calistoga is the historic hot-springs property at the north end of the Napa Valley — a fully-restored 1862 resort with an Olympic-length mineral pool, an adults-only soaking grotto, and the mud baths the Calistoga area is famous for, all on a deliberately landscaped property with palm-lined decks and Mission-style architecture. The 102°F geyser-fed water is the resource that built Calistoga as a Gilded Age spa town. Indian Springs sells day-spa packages but does not sell pool-only day passes — to soak in the mineral pool, you must book a room or a spa treatment.
What to expect
Most guests book overnight stays in the bungalows (renovated 1960s cottages) or the Mission Revival lodge ($350+/night), which include unlimited mineral pool access. The mud-bath ritual (signature Calistoga experience) is a 90-minute treatment: volcanic-ash mud, mineral bath, herbal blanket wrap, and a brief meditation. Multiple restaurants on-site; the Sam's Social Club bar is the gathering place. Pair with Napa wine-country day trips.
