Vista Clara Ranch Resort and Spa Santa Fe, NM
|
Some places cater to the senses; others satisfy the spirit. This restorative retreat, less than half an hour from Santa Fe, delivers a feast for both body and soul. When you yearn for the traditional, go on a horseback trot among rugged boulders etched with ancient Indian drawings, luxuriate in a hot tub while gazing out over the spectacular Galisteo Basin, or hop from one art gallery to another on Santa Fe's famed Canyon Road. Of course, the desert setting also begs for some New Age adventuring: Get in touch with your inner gladiators during warrior workout classes, raise your body heat in a sweat lodge ceremony, or have essential oils dripped down your spines during Raindrop Therapy Massage. The Southwest-chic rooms, with their hardwood floors and wood-beam ceilings, will appeal to every taste—as will the cuisine, lovingly prepared with organic produce grown on the grounds. Sign up for one of the cooking classes and you can bring home regional recipes, like the roasted quail stuffed with corn bread that you nibbled as you watched the sun set over the Ortiz Mountains. Too bad you can't take the gorgeous New Mexican light back with you, too. Doubles from $520, including breakfast and some activities, March through April, August through October; 888-663-9772 or vistaclara.com. |
