Agua Blanca
Location
Jungapeo, Michoacan, Mexico
Tucked into the lush mountains of Michoacan, Hotel Agua Blanca is a secluded eco-resort renowned for its legendary mineral hot springs, stunning natural beauty, and restaurant serving organic, traditional Mexican cuisine. A lively river runs through the property’s 75 acres, and guests can explore the verdant forests, colorful gardens and aromatic bushes—all home to a panoply of tropical birds—on a network of trails.
With just 21 guest rooms, Hotel Agua Blanca offers an intimate experience. Simple rooms are quaint and comfortable, with white walls and exposed wooden beams. Colorful painted accents brighten the dark wooden furniture, and beds are dressed in crisp linens and vibrant blankets. Some rooms have two double beds while others one king, and all have views of the gardens. En suite bathrooms feature solar-heated hot water, stand-alone showers and refillable toiletries (no hair dryers). Although rooms do not have televisions—the owners prefer to keep the focus on nature—Wi-Fi and cell service are available throughout the hotel.
Agua Blanca's main draw is its legendary mineral hot springs, whose healing powers were revered by the ancient Purepecha Empire. The rock-lined pools maintain an average temperature of 85° F, providing a comfortably warm and soothing experience. In addition to the thermal pools, the hotel also has a spa and a traditional Temazcal steam bath. The Temazcal, a sweat lodge, is believed to help with purification and healing and is available for an additional fee.
In addition to solar hot water heaters, the hotel has implemented water conservation and recycling programs, as well as the use of eco-friendly products throughout the property.
