Desert Detox: We Care Health Spa

Head to Desert Hot Springs, California for a holistic retreat frequented by Hollywood celebs that features mineral pool dips, floating beds, and a serious cleansing program.

Located about 100 miles east of L.A., We Care Health Spa in Desert Hot Springs, California has attracted a near cult-like celebrity following with bold-face names looking to cleanse, relax, and shed some pounds. We Care Health Spa’s holistic approach to wellness focuses on cleansing the system of toxins through a natural, all-liquid diet program. If you are interested in a serious recharge to transform your body and mind, or just looking to loose a few pounds with a daily regimen of juice fasting, yoga, and lymphatic massages, then this is the place for you.  Daily colonics are part of the suggested regimen, but if lounging around a hot tub or having an aromatherapy massage is more your speed, then fear not, as plenty of options are available, including daily yoga and meditation classes. Or spend a contemplative afternoon soaking in the desert sun while lounging on their Cirque Du Soleil-esque floating bed or walking the ancient labyrinth while taking in the panoramic mountain vistas.

From the organic juices and all-natural beauty products to low-flush toilets and green design, We Care Health Spa focuses on environmental sustainability throughout the retreat. The tranquil spa is an eclectic design mix featuring mirror-studded Indian fabrics covering the walls, and handmade mosaics lining the walkways. Your time spent here is  less about luxuriating and more about achieving results. Yes, it can be rigorous, but clients can loose as much as 11 pounds in a week.

Guest choose from three different programs consisting of juices, classes, supplements and cleansing treatments. Prices vary depending on accommodations. The three-day plan winter rates start at $944 for single occupancy, and include two night’s accommodation, two treatments, organic juices, supplements, and free access to all classes, and special equipment.
