Sometimes, you need to hit pause—step away from the 37 open tabs (on your computer and in your brain) and get clear on where you’re headed. That’s exactly why I planned a corporate retreat for Aphrodite Fertility Acupuncture—a weekend escape designed to refresh, refocus, and reconnect.

And where better to do that than Jacumba Hot Springs Hotel?

Why We Chose Jacumba Hot Springs

For the past two years, this desert retreat near San Diego has been quietly stalking me on Instagram—serving up images of its mineral-rich hot springs, dreamy interiors, and wide-open desert skies. When it came time to choose a retreat location, Jacumba (ha-KOOM-ba) was the obvious choice.

Located near the Anza-Borrego Desert and the Mexican border, this artsy hideaway is an effortless blend of vintage charm and retro nostalgia. Picture mineral pools, watercolor sunsets, and that kind of eerie, beautiful quiet that makes you want to delete half the apps on your phone.

A Stay Designed for Rest & Inspiration

I’m currently writing this from my curated Jacumba Hot Springs hotel room, where every detail feels intentional. From the leather bracelet digital room key to the vintage record player in each room and a sea glass water jug for sustainable hydration—every touch is designed to create a serene, aesthetically inspiring experience.

The hotel itself is a 1920s-era desert retreat that somehow manages to feel both timeless and effortlessly cool. If Palm Springs had a slightly more hipster cousin—the one who practices sound baths and goes to Burning Man—this would be it.

The Hot Springs: The Ultimate Reset

The Jacumba Hot Springs mineral pools are the main event. Naturally heated and rich in skin-loving minerals, they provide the ultimate full-body detox—basically, a two-hour Epsom salt soak for your soul.

Beyond the hot springs, the retreat experience was elevated with:

• A tin mug of spiked cider upon arrival (yes, please)
• A 24-hour geothermal jacuzzi (featured in our cover photo)
• Fire pit gatherings with live music under the desert sky

Why We’ll Be Back

Located just an hour’s drive from San Diego, Jacumba Hot Springs Hotel is the perfect escape for a quick weekend wellness retreat. Whether you’re craving a moment to recalibrate, a digital detox, or just a stunning backdrop for some much-needed rest, this Southern California hot springs destination delivers.

And for us? This retreat wasn’t just about relaxing—it was about redefining our vision for Aphrodite Fertility Acupuncture. And Jacumba was the perfect place to do it.
