Children
Are Children Welcome? We are an adults only clothing optional boutique hotel where travelers may shed their clothes, relax and be free in our tranquil surroundings. If traveling with children, families might be better entertained at a property more suited to their needs. We therefore have a strict 21 and over admittance policy.
Clothing Optional
Is it a Requirment to be Nude at Hotel o2? No. Our resort is clothing optional, which means you never have to be nude. At o2 you can wear as little or as much as you like, whenever you like. We do however ask that guests respect our dress-code for themed events as this can be enjoyable for everyone. Will I Feel Self Conscious? Most first-timers adjust to social nudity rather quickly, but remember, Hotel o2 is “clothing optional” and we encourage our guests to be comfortable, nude or not. What Should I Know About Nudist Etiquette? While nudists are generally very friendly and open minded people, there is an expectation of discretion, consent and privacy. Feel free to meet new friends but always accept others boundaries and privacy without exception. Never photograph someone without their explicit permission. Nude or not, staring is always considered rude. While it’s natural to view your surroundings, please be considerate of others.

We still allow well behaved, socialized pets but have set limits on this and now require advanced notice that you will be traveling with a pet.

Please be considerate of our other guests and do not leave any pets that may suffer from “separation anxiety” unattended. The limit is two pets per room unless prior arrangements have been made.

Mineral Water
Where Does the Mineral Water Originate? The thermal mineral waters at the O Spa were used by the Cahuilla Indians for over one thousand years and are unique as they are one of the few odorless thermal mineral springs in North America. All of our pools are filled with this natural mineral spring water which originates 1000’s of feet underground and comes to the surface at a temperature of over 112 f/44 c. We maintain the temperature of the main pool between 87f/30c and 90f/32c in the winter and 85f/29c-87f/30c in the Summer. The large spa/Jacuzzi at 104F/40c, while the smaller cowboy hot in the back garden can be used as a cold plunge or can be heated upon request. Temperatures for the Turkish shower which is also located in the back-garden averages 112f/44c but may vary slightly as the water comes directly from the deep aquifer.
