Zion Canyon Hot Springs

Zion Canyon Hot Springs offers a distinctive soaking destination where natural geothermal waters meet thoughtfully designed amenities in the heart of Southern Utah's national park corridor. Located in La Verkin just minutes from Zion National Park, the resort provides an ideal complement to outdoor adventures throughout the region.

Natural Geothermal Waters of the Virgin River Basin

The mineral-rich waters at Zion Canyon Hot Springs originate from underground springs fed by the Virgin River system, emerging naturally heated to temperatures ranging from 80 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. These geothermal waters carry dissolved minerals accumulated through their journey beneath Southern Utah's distinctive red rock geology, creating therapeutic soaking conditions that visitors have sought throughout history.

The resort's collection of over thirty pools harnesses this natural resource across varied temperatures and environments, allowing guests to customize their soaking experience from refreshing cool plunges to deeply warming mineral baths. This temperature diversity supports contrast therapy practices where alternating between hot and cold immersion promotes circulation and muscle recovery.

WorldSprings Global Bathing Traditions

The WorldSprings section recreates iconic bathing experiences from renowned hot springs destinations worldwide. Sixteen individually designed pools draw inspiration from locations including Iceland's famous Blue Lagoon, Japan's Hokkaido Island onsens, and other celebrated thermal bathing cultures. Through innovative mineral formulations, each pool captures the distinctive character of its source inspiration while utilizing the resort's natural geothermal waters.

This adults-only section provides a contemplative atmosphere for guests twenty-one and older seeking focused relaxation. The globally-inspired designs offer educational exploration of international bathing traditions alongside genuine therapeutic benefits, creating experiences unavailable elsewhere in the Southern Utah region.

Complete Wellness Amenities

Beyond the extensive pool collection, the resort features three barrel saunas positioned throughout the grounds, providing dry heat options that complement the mineral water soaking. Three cold plunge pools offer contrast therapy opportunities, a practice increasingly recognized for post-exercise recovery and general wellness benefits.

Two freshwater swimming options include a large family pool suited for active recreation and swimming, expanding the resort's appeal beyond dedicated soaking to families with children seeking varied aquatic activities. This combination of therapeutic and recreational water features addresses diverse visitor preferences within a single destination.

Recovery Destination for Outdoor Adventurers

The resort positions itself specifically as a recovery destination for visitors exploring Southern Utah's national parks and state recreation areas. After hiking Angels Landing, navigating The Narrows, or exploring the countless trails throughout Zion, Bryce Canyon, and surrounding wilderness areas, mineral soaking provides meaningful muscle recovery and relaxation.

The location in La Verkin places the resort along the primary route connecting St. George with Zion National Park, making it accessible both as a dedicated destination and as a convenient stop before or after park visits. This positioning serves the millions of annual visitors who travel through Southern Utah's national park corridor seeking authentic regional experiences.

On-Site Dining and Services

A full-service bar and café provides food and beverage options throughout operating hours, allowing extended visits without leaving the premises. The snack bar features local treats sourced from Southern Utah producers, connecting the dining experience with regional food culture.

Modern facilities include RFID-enabled locker rooms with private changing areas, hot showers stocked with complimentary toiletries, and rest areas with firepits where guests can relax between soaking sessions. These amenities support comfortable all-day visits during any season.

Massage and Wellness Partnerships

The resort maintains partnerships with nearby wellness providers including ZionZen Massage located directly across the street. This arrangement allows guests to incorporate professional bodywork into their hot springs visit, creating comprehensive wellness experiences that combine thermal soaking with therapeutic massage.

Washington County residents receive a twenty percent discount on admission, reflecting the resort's commitment to serving the local Southern Utah community alongside destination visitors. Membership programs including seasonal Snow Bird passes provide cost-effective access for frequent visitors and seasonal residents.

La Verkin's position along State Route 9 provides direct access to Zion National Park while remaining close to Hurricane, St. George, and the broader Southern Utah region.
