Overview
An adults-only soak with a clear policy, clothing optional, no guesswork
Mi Kasa is a small Desert Hot Springs property built around mineral-water soaking, with an adults-only setup and a clothing-optional environment. The point is comfort and low pressure. If you’re looking for a place where nudity is normal but not performative, this is the kind of property that spells out its expectations upfront.
What you’re paying attention to here
The practical details matter more than the marketing. It’s drive-up, in town, and set up for lounging between dips. The vibe tends to be quieter than bigger resorts, and most people are here to soak, read, and sleep, not to party.
What not to assume
Adults-only means exactly that. Don’t plan this as a “bring the kids for a soak” stop. Also, because it’s a small property, availability and on-site rules can shift, so it’s worth checking current guidance before arrival.
Location & Access
Where it is
Mi Kasa Hot Springs is in Desert Hot Springs at 11076 Ocotillo Rd, Desert Hot Springs, CA 92240, a short drive from Palm Springs and the broader Coachella Valley.
By car
Access is paved and simple. You do not need a high-clearance vehicle, and there’s no hike. Parking is on-site. If you’re arriving at night, plan your route ahead of time so you’re not hunting for the entrance in a quiet residential-feeling area.
On-site setup
This is a contained, hotel-style soak environment with a pool and tubs. Because the setting is shared and close-quarters, it’s the kind of place where small courtesies keep the whole experience calm.
What to bring
Bring water, sandals with grip, and a robe or cover-up even if you plan to be nude, it’s useful for moving between spaces and for cool mornings. If you’re sensitive to sun, pack a hat and sunscreen for lounging, then give sunscreen time to set before soaking.
Seasonality
Summer afternoons can be harsh. I’d plan soaking early and late, then use mid-day for shade and rest. Winter nights can feel cold quickly once you leave the water.
Suitability & Accessibility
Mi Kasa is best for adults who want a mineral-water soak without crowds, hiking, or family-oriented noise. If you like quiet properties where everyone is broadly on the same page, it’s a good match.
Best for
Couples, solo travelers, and small friend trips who are comfortable with clothing-optional settings. It also works for people who want the Desert Hot Springs mineral-water experience but prefer a smaller footprint than the larger pool hotels.
Not for
Families, or travelers who want a big resort environment with lots of activities. Adults-only is a hard limit, and the social expectations are more “relax and respect space” than “loud weekend getaway.”
Mobility realities
Because it’s a pool-and-tubs property, you should expect wet surfaces and steps somewhere in the path of travel. If step-free access is essential for you, check directly with the property about entrances, thresholds, and how you get in and out of the water. I would not assume lifts or ramped pool entry unless confirmed.
Expectations vs reality
If you’re new to clothing-optional soaking, the first ten minutes can feel awkward, then it usually becomes normal. Having a robe handy helps you ease into it at your own pace.
Safety & Etiquette
Clothing-optional etiquette
Consent and space are the whole deal. Don’t stare, don’t comment on bodies, and don’t treat nudity like an invitation to socialize with strangers. If you want to chat, keep it light and read the room.
Photography
Skip photos in shared soak areas unless the property clearly allows it and you can do it without capturing other guests. In practice, most people come here to relax, not to end up in someone’s background.
Heat, hydration, and pacing
Mineral-water soaking can feel intense fast, especially in desert heat. Short sessions, cool-off breaks, and lots of water make the day better. If you feel dizzy or nauseated, get out and cool down.
Footing and surfaces
Wet decking is slippery, and sandals help. Move slowly near tub edges. Keep glass away from pool areas.
Respect shared quiet
This is not a party property. Keep music low (or use headphones), and keep voices down, especially at night. If you want lively, plan that elsewhere in Palm Springs, then come back and soak.
