Learn More About Our Historic Tampa Bay Area Waterfront Spa Resort

In 1539, Hernando Desoto reached the shores of Old Tampa Bay and discovered the natural springs, later named “Espiritu Santo Springs," believing he had found the legendary “Fountain of Youth” missed by Ponce De Leon. In 1964 the U.S. Department of the Interior recognized and designated the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa a Historical Landmark and in 1997 it became a Florida Heritage Landmark.
