About Melozi Hot Springs
Melozi Hot Springs offers a warm, inviting retreat nestled along Hot Springs Creek in Alaska. This private fly-in wilderness lodge features natural stone-lined pools where you can soak in soothing 165°F water while soaking in the pristine surroundings. The chance to bathe beneath the shimmering Northern Lights adds an unforgettable touch to your experience at these notable hot springs in Alaska.
Getting There
You reach Melozi Hot Springs by driving northeast from Ruby, Alaska, with no hiking necessary—an unusual convenience for remote Alaskan springs. Parking is limited, so plan accordingly. While the lodge primarily serves fly-in guests, drive-up access makes it accessible for adventurous travelers seeking a blend of wilderness and ease.
What to Expect
Expect around 20 heated pools fed by natural springs, each offering varying temperatures that allow for personalized comfort. The atmosphere remains peaceful and quiet, with few visitors ensuring a tranquil soak in pristine waters. Facilities blend rustic charm with subtle comfort, reflecting the lodge’s commitment to preserving the natural environment.
Tips for Visitors
Visit any time of year to enjoy year-round warmth, especially magical under winter skies. Bring warm clothing for before and after your soak, as dipping into cold air can be bracing. Since parking is limited and access is controlled, reserve your spot ahead and prepare for a modest entry fee to support the lodge’s upkeep.
