Sulphur Springs Mud Baths – St. Lucia
Sulphur Springs Mud Baths
Visitors from all over the world travel to St. Lucia to visit the well-known Sulphur Springs Park where they can enjoy the hot, black mud baths and take a guided tour through the park to learn about the history of the world’s only drive-in volcano.
The mud baths and flowing mineral streams and falls are a result of the dormant volcano which arose from a weak area in the crust of a collapsed volcanic crater. The minerals from the volcano mix with the natural water catchments and springs.
It is said that the mineral-rich black mud baths have detoxifying effects and aid to cure sunburns, eczema, arthritis, sore joints, and other skin-related conditions. The mud baths are renowned for their ability to alleviate stress and tense, sore muscles.
The baths can be accessed through Sulphur Springs Park from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This area features a natural open-air hot tub, a seating area, hot and cold showers, and restrooms. To access the park the most economical way to do so is to hire a taxi from your hotel and pay about $5 to access the baths and if you wish to get a guided tour it would cost about $10.
