The Spa at French Lick
The mineral waters at French Lick were thought to have been discovered by George Rogers Clark in 1778, as the salty “lick” attracted animals to the area. After the State of Indiana made an unsuccessful attempt to mine salt from the area, 15,000 acres were sold to Dr. William Bowles, who opened the first French Lick Springs Hotel in 1845. In 1901, the French Lick Springs Hotel Co. named the waters Pluto, after the Roman god of the underworld and the mythical River Styx, because the waters sprang forth from the ground. Once known as “miracle waters” by the local residents who carried it home in jugs, sales of Pluto water topped $1 million in 1919 and continues to draw visitors to the area more than 100 years after its discovery.
Today the French Lick Resort Casino is a premier destination, featuring a 27,000 full-service spa w
ith 24 treatment rooms, Pluto Mineral Baths, Vichy Shower and more. The spa is expanding beyond the traditional soaking tub treatment to offer clients a chance to experience the full benefits of the natural wonder and is teaming with Malibu Wellness to develop a line of Pluto water products to compliment the menu of spa services.
With high concentrations of magnesium, sodium and potassium, the Pluto water is enriched with over 20 different minerals. Soaking mineral baths, available in the spa, offer many benefits, including stimulation of circulation, cell hydration and increased moisture retention. In addition, medical research shows soaking in the water detoxifies and eases muscle and joint tension to induce relaxation.
“People are drawn to the traditional mineral water,” says Kim Allen, Spa Director. “We are thrilled to be able to offer an array of services and products that bring wellness full circle.”
