Press Coverage
Two Bunch Palms Spa & Resort Has Been Voted Best Hot Springs Over & Over...
A True Oasis ~ Two Bunch Palms
I'm floating. My eyes open, then close... above me the leaves of palm trees sway in the wind against a calm, deep blue
sky... casting shadows with the sunlight. I am warm and I am comfortable, submerged in the natural hot waters that percolate
out of the earth close by... Each time your eyes open the scene changes... ever so slightly. I feel less of an escapist from LA
two hours away, than I do a newborn with a new found sense of discovery. But again, this is Two Bunch Palms... where being
comfortable, safe and relaxed is the name of the game.

Joshua Tree Desert In Bloom
Joshua Tree National Park is an increasingly popular destination for people from all over the world and at just
20 minutes from Two Bunch Palms, it makes a great day out. Some folks come seeking solitude, others recreation;
some come to learn about the natural and cultural wonders of this desert region, others to be reassured that there
are still areas offering a glimpse of the natural world as it once existed.
The Visitor Center
An excellent way to start your visit is to stop by one of the three visitor centers: Oasis Visitor Center in
Twentynine Palms, Cottonwood Visitor Center (off I-10) or Black Rock Canyon Campground in Yucca Valley.
The Visitor Centers offer a wide variety of materials to help you make the most of your visit and gain a better
understanding of the unique environment of Joshua Tree National Park. You will find interpretive displays of
wildlife, geological formations and early desert inhabitants here. Staffed by rangers, Association employees and
volunteers, there is always someone ready to answer your questions. Be sure to pick up a copy of the quarterly
publication, the Joshua Tree Guide, as well as maps to guide you through the Park. There is also a great bookstore
which stocks everything you need to plan ahead.
Enjoy your visit! For location maps and more details visit

trusted companion draws countless stares standing stately in front of the reception area at Two Bunch Palms Resort & Spa
in Desert Hot Springs, CA.
Don't run for cover just yet. Currently on display at the retreat resort is not one of Capone's criminal cronies, but
rather his silent partner in crime - his legendary Duesenberg, a rare getaway car designed to outrun the Feds and their
flying ammunition.

Two Bunch Palms Resort - In the Vortex!
Burnt out? Creativity shot? In need of some serious r&r? If you are looking to increase your positive energy,
stimulate your productivity, enhance a romance, warm your heart or to simply chill-out, you couldn't find a better
place to do it than Two Bunch Palms, a truly magical resort located right in the middle of the Desert Hotsprings vortex.
Vortex? What's that? Well, a quick perusal of the internet provides sundry definitions, most having to do with
mathematics, hydrology or meteorology. However, amongst the more spiritually inclined, a vortex site is where the
earth's energy lines intersect to form a positive energy field - expanding and perpetuating one's own positive energy.
And, according to writer/historian Roger Sunpath, Desert Hotsprings is the exact spot where five of these energy sources
converge (earthquake faults, geothermal underground water, the alignment of the mountain peaks, wind and, of course, the
energy of the sun) creating a perfect mega vortex! . Talk about positive energy!! Taking full advantage of its location,
Two Bunch Palms offers you a unique opportunity to tap into this mystical energy source while improving your health and
well-being in a comfortable and historic setting.

Weightless Water Therapies Make Waves at Two Bunch Palms
DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA February 13, 2006 - Stretch, glide and gracefully float in the soothing warm mineral water at
Two Bunch Palms Resort and Spa as experienced Watsu therapists Annie Clarke or Tal Hurley gently cradle and support
your body through a series of fluid movements during a Watsu session. Seeming to defy gravity as you rest weightlessly
in the body temperature water, stress and tension depart your body with each gentle motion.
Watsu (Water Shiatsu), a 25-year-old aquatic therapy known for relieving stress and invoking deep relaxation, is
currently offered in only a handful of spas in the United States. Two Bunch Palms was one of the first spas to
offer Watsu- outside of Northern California's Harbin Hot Springs, where it was created- and has also developed
an additional warm water therapy practice, Aqua Soma, exclusive to the Desert Hot Springs, CA resort.

Sister Mineral Spring Resorts Bring the Historical Healing Power of the Waters to Guests
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (January 13, 2006) - It's no secret that natural healing traditions have historical roots in
countries all over the world - Acupuncture originated in China, Ayurveda in India, Reiki in Japan, and Reflexology in
Egypt. It begs the question - does the United States have any healing customs of its own?
