El Dorado Hot Springs
Spring · Arizona
About this swimming hole
A rustic desert soak about an hour west of Phoenix, with rock-built private pools, clawfoot tubs, and a clothing-optional community pool fed by odorless mineral springs. Palm trees and bamboo give the grounds a hidden-oasis feel despite the working-ranch surroundings. Soaks are sold by the hour, so book ahead.
