Dominica’s Hot Pools, Spas & Springs<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

With\u00a0the highest concentration of dormant volcanoes in the world, it comes as no surprise that Dominica has\u00a0a number of natural spas and hot pools created from the healing sulfur springs which seep up from below.<\/p>\n

\nThere are a few places around the island where hot water bubbles out of the cracks, and hot water pools form just for your soaking pleasure.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column_inner type=”4_4″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ custom_padding__hover=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” module_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”3.0.85″ text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n

Here are some of unique hot pools out in nature<\/h3>\n

See below for a complete list<\/a> of hot pools & hot springs for your soaking pleasure!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. Bubble Beach Spa<\/a> in Soufriere is one of the most unique hot pools not only in the Caribbean, but in the world. Here you can sit in the sea while warm water soothes your muscles. Visit\u00a0at day’s end\u00a0and you’ll have a gorgeous view of the sunset across Soufriere Bay. (Closed for now, due to Hurricane Maria.)<\/p>\n

2. Champagne Beach<\/a>. Bubbling out of the water’s edge are hot salt water springs. Sometimes people dig holes to allow the cold sea water and the hot water to mix for a nice warm soak. Be careful though, the water can get very hot. This is also a great spot for snorkeling and diving<\/a> in the warm volcanic bubbles.<\/p>\n

3. Although not hot,\u00a0Cold Soufriere<\/a>\u00a0in the northeast of the island is still a marvel in itself. It looks like it should be hot, there is even some bubbling, but the water is quite cold.<\/p>\n

Hot water of the past & future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dominica has some lovely hot pools located alongside of rivers which periodically get covered up by Mother Nature.<\/p>\n
