About Us

Welcome to Sam’s Family Spa

Rooted in the golden age of Desert Hot Springs, Sam’s Family Spa has long been a favorite for travelers seeking simple comfort, wide-open blue skies, and truly healing waters. Under new stewardship, we’re honoring that legacy—while adding a fresh, relaxed energy that feels right at home in today’s desert.

Set beneath leaning palms and expansive desert light, Sam’s offers four mineral-rich soaking pools, each at a different temperature and all fed by the region’s famed geothermal waters. Ours are the only chlorine-free hot spring pools in the area—pure, natural, and deeply restorative. Bring your sunscreen, settle into a lounger, and let the day unfold at its own pace. This is a place to slow down, breathe deep, and soak it all in.

Whether you’re stopping by for the day, planning a low-key weekend, or adding a spa stay to your Palm Springs or Coachella Valley adventure, Sam’s is an easygoing desert retreat—unpretentious, welcoming, and just a little bit magical.

Stay Your Way

As of December 2025, Sam’s has expanded with 12 new Moroccan-inspired motel rooms, blending desert charm with thoughtful comfort. Four rooms feature full kitchens, perfect for longer stays or easy, at-your-own-pace mornings.

In addition, we offer a mix of cozy tiny homes, classic mobile park homes, and a spacious RV park. Think of Sam’s as a hybrid desert hideaway—part spa, part motel, part RV resort—designed for both day guests and overnight stays.

Rolling in with your own setup? We offer over 170 RV sites, so you can bring your home-on-wheels and still enjoy the spa life. With an on-site laundry facility and a small market for essentials, everything is in place for a stay that feels simple, comfortable, and refreshingly light. On-site massage services are coming soon. You’ll also meet our resident family of ducks, who seem to agree there’s no better place to spend the day.  In case you are wondering they are  Oreo, Aflac, Creamsicle and Double D.

We look forward to welcoming you—whether you’ve been coming here for years or you’re just discovering Sam’s for the first time.

See you in the soak.
