Are the hot springs available to all guests?
The hot springs are available to all guests with reservations to stay at Esalen. We have four large, communal tubs and a number of individual tubs that are available on a first-come, first-served basis for those who wish to bathe solo. Guests are not currently required to wear a mask during their massage, whether indoors or outdoors.
Do you have to be naked in the Hot Springs?
The hot springs hang between sea and sky, an awe-inspiring respite for mind and body and a great equalizer. Simultaneously comforting and challenging, the baths nourish conversation, contemplation, and community. While clothing is optional at the baths, nudity is by no means mandatory.
