Two Bunch Palms: Palm Springs Eco-Spa Hideaway

[Marjorie Hope]

Two Bunch Palms is an eco-spa situated in Palm Springs that offers a peaceful sanctuary of sacred spaces, natural mineral spring pools, fountains and waterfalls. There is also a tranquil lake, the shores of which are inhabited by exotic birds, natural wildlife and (my favourite) a family of turtles that bathe in the late day sun. The grottoes are the unquestionable highlight of this relaxed environment, while the lithium-rich pool is so soporific that you will notice the healing qualities immediately. Private artesian wells spring from the deepest underground sources that are located right near the San Andreas fault line. The pre-existing formation of palms are so unique, rumor has it they have flourished from Native American sacred grounds.

While everyone else is increasing their prices, Two Bunch Palms scores full points in my books with the introduction of its new ‘insider’s prices,’ which are offered not only to its loyal guests who return year after year, but also to newbies. In fact, this distinct spa is so au courant with its guests’ needs that it even offers special packages which promise to ease your financial concerns with discounts and reduced rates on food (such as complimentary breakfast buffet and US$55/person gourmet lunch and dinner package). Their unique spa treatments are truly world class, and include water yoga, Watsu and the best spa facial in the West. Who else can boast newly refurbished rooms and lush landscapes that offer lower, not higher pricesr?

So the next time you need a weekend of R’n'R, head for Desert Hot Springs and get ‘Two Bunched.’ For further information, visitwww.twobunchpalms.com or call (+1) 800.472.4334
