Discover Virginia’s Hot Springs and Wellness Destinations

Its Appalachian Mountains are iconic. Its country music lyrics are melodic. It’s where lovers meet, greet and eat. But unknown to many, Virginia is also a destination that offers wellness while highway-hopping in the USA.

Ancient Springs in Warm Springs, Virginia

Just off US Route 220, appropriately named ‘Warm Springs’ in Virginia’s Bath County is endowed with healing, mineral-rich waters. Its geothermal offerings are believed to have been discovered by the Native American stewards of the land. 

On approach, I think I spot two randomly placed yurts. Upon closer inspection, the timber-panelled constructions are anything but – as they steam from the oculus of their domed rafters.
