With an increase in remote workers and a bigger focus on employee well-being, bringing a team together via retreats is becoming a popular option. Durango Hot Springs Resort & Spa in southwest Colorado now has five outdoor function spaces and one indoor space that can accommodate groups, courtesy of a $14 million refresh that began in 2019. Today, there are 32 hot spring mineral pools, two cold-plunge pools, a 25-meter swimming pool, private cedar Ofuro tubs, a full-service day spa, botanic gardens, casual dining, and more. In the next year or two, a dedicated conference room and private Zen garden will be added to the options.
For small groups, the Piedra event space can comfortably hold 20 people and has a private pool that accommodates 10.
By incorporating Purgatory, a pool with both warm and cold sides for contrast therapy, this area can expand to hold five to 10 additional guests. In addition, groups can rent the entire Trimble Club and have access to eight private hot spring pools. The club can hold 15 to 20 people seated or about 40 standing, and has a large-screen TV, changing rooms,
lockers, and showers.
