Welcome to Soak Destinations, your online guide to the world’s most breathtaking hot springs — from remote natural pools in the Rockies to hidden luxury spa retreats across the U.S.
What started as a shared dream between two lifelong friends, Anna Lehmann and Amanda, has grown into a full-time passion project connecting thousands of travelers to nature’s most restorative experiences.
Who We Are
We are a travel research and wellness media company focused exclusively on geothermal destinations. Our team includes travel writers, field researchers, and wellness consultants who explore, document, and review hot springs with precision and care.
Every guide published on Soak Destinations is based on firsthand research, verified data, and local insights — ensuring that readers receive reliable information before every soak.
OUR STORY
The idea for Soak Destinations began during a video call in early 2022.
Anna — a Colorado-based travel consultant with a background in luxury hotel planning — had been helping clients design custom wellness getaways for years.
Amanda, who had already traveled to 97 countries, was documenting her journey through geothermal springs across Asia, Iceland, and the U.S.
When both realized how hard it was for travelers to find reliable, firsthand information about real hot spring destinations, they decided to build something that didn’t yet exist — a platform dedicated entirely to soak seekers and wellness travelers.
From that idea, Soak Destinations was born — a virtual-first travel consultation and publishing brand that combines professional travel planning with real-world experience.
✈️ What We Do
We operate completely online, working with travelers, writers, and local guides across the U.S. to create:
