The Spa at Séc-he will feature 22 private mineral baths, 15 treatment rooms, two halotherapy salt caves, a resort-style mineral pool with four Jacuzzis, and more.
The design inspiration for the Spa and Cultural Plaza is rooted in Agua Caliente traditions such as basket weaving, pottery (ollas), and botanical elements native to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indian Reservation.
“The opening of The Spa at Séc-he is a defining moment for the Tribe,” says Chairman Reid D. Milanovich. “The hot spring water means everything to us. It’s at the heart of tribal life and has been a cultural resource for us and our ancestors for thousands of years. It’s not a myth; these waters are truly healing waters.“
After careful consideration, the Tribe has decided to open the Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza in two phases: first: The Spa at Séc-he on April 4, followed by the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, Gathering Plaza and Oasis Trail in later 2023. The Tribe broke ground on the Cultural Plaza project in May 2018.
Information on how to book services at The Spa at Séc-he will be available soon. For more information about the Tribe, click here.
