Fodor's Expert Review The Lost Spring

There are spas, and then there is The Lost Spring: thermal pools set in the middle of town yet landscaped as if they're lost in the forest. The Lost Spring taps into 16,000-year-old mineral water drawn from more than 2,000 feet below ground and now filling a man-made haven of steaming lagoons, waterfalls, and quartz-studded caves. Lie back in the water, and watch native birds eating berries from the trees and ferns while waiters deliver snacks, juices, beer, wine, or cocktails to the water's edge. There’s also a restaurant and day spa (be sure to book ahead).
