SunWater Spa

About this Sanctuary

Nestled in the heart of Manitou Springs, SunWater Spa offers an unparalleled hot springs experience that seamlessly blends natural beauty with modern amenities. The mineral-rich cedar tubs, which draw from the famous 7-minute spring, provide a soothing soak with therapeutic properties. Guests can enjoy the private Mary's Mountain tub and sauna for a more intimate experience or choose one of several communal options like the cold plunge pools and saline baths. The facility is adorned with eucalyptus-scented steam rooms and hammock-style chairs, adding to the serene ambiance. Staff are notably friendly, ensuring an enjoyable and stress-free visit. However, the evening view watching the sunset over Pikes Peak is nothing short of magical. Despite its charm, the spa could benefit from improved signage for privacy areas and possibly more changing space.
