GETTING HERE

Your Adventure to the Oasis

Traversing the past and present to get to Castle Hot Springs

This journey is much more than your path to Castle Hot Springs, it is a gateway to the pristine Sonoran Desert and a landscape shaped by history as vast as the landscape itself. Indigenous people, cowboys, business moguls (and don’t forget the likes of Teddy Roosevelt and JFK) have made their way through the desert to the very spot that awaits you. To sum it up, you’re in good company as you kick up dust along the way. (Check out our full story here).

Transportation via private car service or helicopter can be arranged. Once you’re reservation is made, we will be in touch to arrange your trip.
