Hot Springs, Spas & Self-Care Goodies
People have been dipping away their cares in Nevada’s mineral-rich hot springs for centuries. For someone who’d be stoked to soak in all that steamy, healing history, grab a gift card to Reno’s Steamboat Hot Springs, good for private tub sessions, steam rooms, massages, and more; book a dreamy staycation at historic David Walley’s Resort; or score them a 10 Punch Swim Card at Carson Hot Springs. To bring the healing on home, box up a bevy of hand-harvested, locally-sourced, Nevada-made pampering products, too.

Hot Spring Heaven
Carson City, Reno & Genoa
Carson Hot Springs
Established in 1880, this delightfully casual resort is home to private rooms, spring-fed tubs, and a big warm pool, armed with a muscle-tenderizing hot water spout called “The Hammer.” Treat a friend to a nice afternoon and evening activity by grabbing a day pass and challenging yourself to what locals now call The Triathlon: soaking in the tubs, drying off and digging into the fresh, amazing eats at Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint, washing it down with a fresh brew at next-next-door Shoe Tree Brewing Co., then hopping right on back in the water. Gift certificates are available for Sassafras and Shoe Tree, too.
Carson City
Steamboat Hot Springs Healing Center & Spa
The oldest hot spring resort in the entire state, soaked in since 1857, enticed wagon-weary pioneers and Virginia City denizens with hot, pure, mineral-packed water. Today, Steamboat offers dreamy soaks in both outdoor and private-room tubs, steam baths, and a whole menu of massage therapy services on a historic property at the southern cusp of Reno.
Reno
David Walley’s Resort
Book a staycation at this classic Genoa property, home to beautiful rooms, upscale breakfast, lunch, and dinners in the 1862 Restaurant and Saloon, and—the best part—a warm, mineral hot spring-fed pool, on the site of hot springs where people have been soaking for eons, including famous ones like Mark Twain, who remarked post-soak: “I now leave without crutch or cane, entirely well, not only relieved from pain but gained in spirit.”
