WorldSprings, a 10-acre mineral springs destination inspired by famous global hot springs, has launched at Grandscape in The Colony, Dallas
The property features 46 pools with temperatures ranging from 45°F (7.2°C) to 104°F (40°C), including both adults-only and family-friendly areas
Amenities include a 12-treatment-room spa, seven saunas, fire pits, F&B outlets and a range of bathing cycles developed by consultant Sara Gottfried MD
WorldSprings is the largest water retreat by Off Road Capital, which has plans for a third site in Utah by 2025, following its sister site, Iron Mountain Hot Springs in Colorado
A large new mineral springs destination has launched in Texas, inspired by some of the world’s most famous hot springs – such as Jordan’s Dead Sea, Iceland’s Blue Lagoon and Mexico’s Grutas Tolantongo.

Located at Grandscape in The Colony, WorldSprings is a brand new 10-acre outdoor social-wellness destination designed to help guests of all ages recharge, reconnect and improve their wellbeing.

The property is home to 46 pools, ranging in temperature from 55°F (12.7°C) cold plunge pools to 104°F (40°C) bodies of water. Highlights include:
• Four minerally dense destination areas designed to replicate the soaking experience of the Americas, Europe, Asia and South Pacific regions of the world. These pools are for 18+ adults only.
• The freshwater Globe Pool, created for all ages
• The Dead Sea pool, a saline-enriched pool for 18+ adults only.

WorldSprings also features a 12-treatment-room spa, seven saunas, fire pits, poolside drink spaces and cabanas, as well as an F&B outlet, welcome area, lockers and retail space.

The spa and wellness centre provides access to body treatments, facials and athletic recovery therapies, as well as yoga. Spa partners include Geneo facial technology.

The destination, currently in its soft opening stage, was realised by architectural and engineering solutions firm HFA-AE.

To help guests make the most of their bathing time, WorldSprings has tapped the expertise of wellness consultant Sara Gottfried MD who has developed a range of six bathing circuits called The Mineral Method.

Lasting between 15-30 minutes, each journey is designed to meet specific wellness goals and encourages guests to cycle through hot and cold therapies and relaxation for targeted benefits.

Guests can choose between the following programmes: Athletic Recovery, Anti-inflammatory, Stress, Sleep, Longevity and Family Time.

The bigger picture
Based 20 minutes outside of central Dallas, WorldSprings is the second, and largest, water retreat from investment firm Off Road Capital, preceded by its sister site, Iron Mountain Hot Springs in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

The two sites will be joined by a third US$60 million (€55.9 million, £47.9 million) site in Utah in Q3 of 2025 – read more here.

“This venture represents not only a new chapter for our company but also a testament to our commitment to offering exceptional hospitality centred around making our guests feel better. We look forward to sharing the magic of WorldSprings with the local community,” says Chris Barrett, WorldSprings CEO.

GM Amelia Wohrle added: "After years of dedicated planning and preparation, we’re overjoyed to open our doors and contribute to the wellness and community improvement of the vibrant Dallas Fort Worth area.

“Our vision is to create a welcoming space where everyone can focus on their wellness and come together to build a stronger sense of community spirit."
