Discover more about River Sallée Boiling Springs

Nestled in the northeastern part of Grenada, near the village of River Sallee, lies a unique geological phenomenon: the River Sallee Boiling Springs. These springs are a testament to Grenada's volcanic origins, offering visitors a chance to soak in warm, mineral-rich waters believed to have therapeutic properties. The site features six distinct springs, each with a water temperature of around 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). Despite being located over a mile from the sea, the springs contain clear, salty water, adding to their mystique. The largest pool has a circumference of about 15 feet and a depth of 6 feet and contains earthy-toned water. Visitors often apply the soothing mud from this pool to their skin, which is said to improve its look and feel. Orange-yellow sulphur deposits are visible in the runoff channels, further highlighting the area's geothermal activity. For generations, the River Sallee Boiling Springs have held traditional religious significance for local Baptists, who perform baptisms and other rituals here. Beyond their spiritual importance, the springs are also a place for relaxation and rejuvenation. Visitors can indulge in sulphur baths, mud body massages, and loofah treatments, followed by a cleansing with water from a sulphur spring well. The springs are managed by local entrepreneurs who offer mud scrubs, massages, and access to the warm sulphur pools. While the facilities are rustic, the friendly atmosphere and therapeutic treatments make for a memorable experience.
