To give you an idea of the variety of treatments offered by Santa Fe spas, we’ve highlighted a few below. You’ll find many more when you browse our Spa and Wellness directory:
Spa at Hotel Santa Fe
Step into the Spa at Hotel Santa Fe and you’ll be surrounded by the scents of white sage, piñon sap, and organic lavender. From there, surrender yourself to a realm of relaxation, where Old World and New World healing traditions can transform you from head to toe. You could go with an East Indian massage or Cielo massage, but why not indulge in the the Healing Earth ritual package? The experience begins with a lavender foot bath for calming, then includes body brushing for skin exfoliation and lymph stimulation. Next, a body mask of ancient volcanic clay, infused with lavender and sandalwood oils, will detox and purify as well as harmonize and soothe. To close the ritual, relax with a customized massage.
For the ultimate in relaxation, try the White Sage spa ritual. It blends the ceremonial aroma of sage that clears stress and fatigue with a massage focused on reflexology points in worn-out feet. An herbal wrap infused with sage both detoxes and grounds the body, restoring your vitality. If winter wreaked havoc on your skin, then the Squash Blossom Body Scrub & Wrap is for you. Unwind as your body is wrapped in a warm blend of brown sugar scrub and a pumpkin mask full of vitamins. The experience not only exfoliates and smoothes your skin, it replenishes your body.
OJO Santa Fe
A 20-minute drive from Santa Fe takes you worlds away from life’s hustle and bustle, to the peaceful oasis of Ojo Santa Fe Spa Resort. This luxury Santa Fe retreat has been voted “World’s Best Spa 2021” by Travel & Leisure. Here, natural spring-fed outdoor pools, garden paths, and tall trees create a lush paradise, perfect for finding your bliss. You can soak in an outdoor pool beneath a turquoise sky by day, a star-studded sky at night, or in an outdoor private mineral-infused soaking tub, a relaxing magnesium-based soak that eases stress and aches.
Then choose from an array of massage options — hot stone, deep-tissue, or your own customized massage. The Satva Botanicals Massage employs CBD products and light to medium pressure to provide long-lasting relief to people with sore muscles, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or arthritis. The Rio Grande Hot Stone Massage will melt away all your stress with hand-gathered basalt stones harvested from the Southwest. Before you leave, walk the onsite Medicine Wheel, a circle with many meanings in different cultures. To the Native Americans, this circle represents the innate power to heal possessed by nature and humans.
Spa at Four Seasons
The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado will whisk you away from a world-weary day with a creative menu of services. This sanctuary offers serenity and sacred space, designed after ceremonial kiva rooms used by the Ancestral Puebloans. The scent of burning sage is meant to remove unwanted energy. Special treatments draw on native ingredients to restore you through massage and bodywork, skin and body treatments, and spiritual enhancement.
If you’re seeking rejuvenation after the long winter, try the Mountain Spirit Purification ritual. Inspired by the Native American connection to nature, the ritual draws on juniper, sage, and adobe clay to awaken, cleanse, and revive all of your senses. Or, quench your dry skin with the Blue Corn and Honey Renewal treatment, a wrap combining exfoliating blue corn with hydrating wildflower honey. As you sink into relaxation, enjoy a renewal treatment for you scalp and foot, and then a skin-nourishing massage. For deeper relaxation, the Sacred Stone Massage blends hot and cold river stones with skilled massage to transport you to another realm. And if your chi, or energy flow, feels out of sorts, the Chakra Balancing spiritual enhancement will help, as it balances your body’s energetic centers of spiritual power.
NIDAH SPA AT ELDORADO
Nidah, located at the Eldorado Hotel & Spa, transports you to a world of rejuvenation and relaxation.

THE SPA AT LORETTO
The Spa at the Inn & Spa at Loretto is the only Santa Fe resort and spa that has the distinction of creating its very own custom-crafted essential oil aromatherapy blends called “Spirit of Loretto,” which can be added to any of their body rituals or massages.
