Calistoga Resort Pools

The resorts in the northern Napa Valley town of Calistoga usually feature mineral pools that are fed from nature’s own underground hot springs. These mineral pools offer many health benefits, and a long soak is the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate.

This resort features a hip, vintage vibe. Its outdoor pool area includes a deck of blue-and-white striped umbrellas, pool lounges, and cabana beds shaded by a greenery-covered trellis.

There’s also outdoor fire pits, bocce court, board games, and hammocks to keep you as busy or relaxed as you like.
