Bathe in geothermal mud at the world’s only drive-in volcano

Saint Lucian mud baths are a geographical and geothermal wonder due to the region's past volcanic activity. If you're seeking a genuinely one-of-a-kind experience, head to the magnificent Sulphur Springs. The mud baths are a few miles from Sulphur Springs in St Lucia, which is located in the island's southwestern corner.

Mud baths are natural pools formed by geothermal energy induced by St. Lucia's geographical location. Mud baths are heated to a temperature of 36-40 degrees Celsius. This heated mud promotes lymph fluid mobility and increases blood flow. This improves blood circulation and reduces edema and inflammation. The muddy mixture is smooth and warm, creating an almost weightless experience that can aid in the relaxation of stiff muscles. Most mud baths contain a blend of hot spring water and volcanic ash, which can help reduce cellulite and is said to have anti-aging benefits.

Mud baths are not harmful to ordinary people as long as their skin is free of open sores and is safely intact. The sulfur content of the vital minerals inside the bath may produce a pungent odor reminiscent of rotten eggs. Mud baths are not indicated for pregnant women or those with high or low blood pressure, heart issues, existing wounds, rashes, or heat sensitivity.
