About The O Spa + Resort

The O Spa + Resort is a clothing-optional mineral springs resort in Desert Hot Springs with a free-spirited, hippie-chic vibe. The grounds feature beautifully landscaped outdoor pools fed by natural hot spring water, a large shared spa, and individually themed rooms with creative names and decor—each with its own personality rather than standard hotel anonymity. Nights here blend relaxation in the mineral water with a welcoming, clothing-optional atmosphere; the resort also discreetly welcomes lifestyle couples and hosts takeover events, though the level of activity varies.
Reviews are divided: many guests rave about the stunning grounds, excellent spa facilities, clean pools, and the genuinely friendly atmosphere created by both management and other guests. However, recent reports suggest inconsistency in maintenance and management quality, with some visitors noting small, tired rooms that need updating, occasional lapses in pool upkeep, and varying experiences depending on when you visit. The resort appears to be in transition, with clear ambition to upgrade but not yet the resources to fully deliver on the luxury side.
The O Spa suits couples and singles seeking a relaxed, open-minded environment where nudity is normalized and respected. It works best if you value the outdoor mineral water experience and community vibe over five-star hotel standards. Those comparing it to other lifestyle resorts often find it offers better grounds and value, though opinions on overall polish are mixed.
- Who goes
- Mix of couples and single women, mostly ages 30–50, though recent guests report an influx of younger men in their twenties; mostly locals and regional visitors rather than international tourists.
- How opinion has moved
- Recent 2026 reviews show deterioration in consistency and management attention compared to earlier 2025–2026 praise, with guests noting lapses in pool temperature, maintenance, and atmosphere after management changes.

- Clothing optional
What guests love
- The mineral spring water in the pools and spa is described as wonderful, healing, and superior to competing resorts.
- The outdoor grounds are beautifully landscaped, well-maintained, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out with plenty of cabanas and comfortable lounge chairs.
- Each room is individually decorated with creative themes, giving stays personality and character rather than cookie-cutter uniformity.
- The massage and spa services are consistently praised as great and relaxing.
- The overall atmosphere is genuinely welcoming, zen, and relaxing, with friendly management and guests who respect and enjoy one another.
- The resort offers good value and a less restrictive atmosphere compared to other nearby lifestyle resorts.
What guests complain about
- Rooms are small and showing signs of wear, with some guests noting uncomfortable mattresses, aging plumbing, and a need for renovation.
- Recent management changes appear to have affected quality control, with reports of lukewarm jacuzzis, cigarette and alcohol smells in spa areas, and inconsistent upkeep.
- The property looks like an older boutique hotel attempting updates but lacking the cash flow to complete renovations, creating an incomplete aesthetic.
- Recent visits have attracted groups of unaccompanied young men who do not respect the clothing-optional or lifestyle ethos, creating an awkward atmosphere.
- Entryways to the main pool lack shade and transfer heat uncomfortably to bare feet.
- Entry and management can be inconsistent, with some guests feeling the resort is uncertain about whether to market itself as purely naturist or lifestyle-friendly, resulting in an unclear brand identity.

Latest reviews from every source
We had a great time at this resort. Our stay was pleasant. We enjoyed the pool, the jacuzzi, the other smaller pool. We were up almost all night enjoying every bit of that peaceful beautiful spot. We'll definitely be returning.
Absolutely AMAZING! Everything was done right here. Having been in the hotel business for 13 years myself, I’ve come to know what it takes to leave your guests smiling. Everything down to the checking out of the hotel has exceeded my expectations. What’s truly remarkable… is that this place seems to get wonderful guests that are fun and enjoy all others. Truly a remarkable atmosphere. The rooms are so well done with…
Relaxing and great massages
This pet friendly clothing optional resort has a very "Zen" atmosphere, and beautifullylandscaped, clean grounds. There are adorable, individually decorated and themed rooms. The hot springs mineral water in the two pools and the spa is wonderful and healing. One of the highlights of this resort is the massive Spa, which can accommodate more than 40 people in a space that sheltered.
O Spa Resort Desert Hot Springs Review: Travelled as a single male for work, so this ruled out Sea Mountain where we usually stay. I wasn’t looking to play, but definitely wanted some naked time, so this had the rule set, location, and price point. Rather than give details here are some holistic vibe check impressions. When I look ok at other reviews, the website, and my <24 experience… This place looks like many of…
We did when we visited mid June but we had the place all to ourselves. Considering that smi and edr aren’t that much better we won’t visit after going here. We see lots of potential but you also can’t beat the price point. We don’t chase single women so smi offers nothing special for us.
Not when I was there. I have seen some reviews that suggest there is, but you kind of need people there to see/participate in play.
I think that they do day passes, but they are less expensive than SMI.
