About Chinati Hot Springs
A remote desert retreat in the rugged Chinati Mountains of far west Texas near the Mexican border, accessible only via miles of unpaved road through some of the most isolated terrain in the Lower 48. The 115°F mineral water fills stone-lined soaking tubs on a property that operates as an off-grid overnight destination with adobe casitas and communal kitchen. The stark Chihuahuan Desert landscape, dark sky stargazing, and total disconnection from the modern world define the Chinati experience.
