For centuries, people have sought the restorative power of natural hot springs to find balance, renewal, and peace. If you’re seeking rejuvenation, the healing water of hot springs offers a time-honored way to relax, refresh, and restore.

Nestled within Northern New Mexico’s rugged beauty, Ojo Spa Resorts welcomes you to immerse yourself in unvarnished experiences at two unique locations:

Ojo Santa Fe Spa Resort —
Located just 20 minutes south of the historic city of Santa Fe, this tranquil oasis is set on 77 acres of lush gardens, peaceful ponds, and towering cottonwoods. Santa Fe is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant arts scene, and stunning adobe architecture.

At Ojo Santa Fe, you can soak in spring-fed thermal pools, indulge in award-winning spa treatments, and savor farm-fresh cuisine, surrounded by the serene high desert landscape.

Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa —
Situated in the heart of Northern New Mexico’s high desert, Ojo Caliente is one of the oldest natural health resorts in the country, established in 1868. The resort is enveloped by dramatic sandstone cliffs and a cottonwood-lined river valley, offering a secluded retreat.

Here, you can experience the only hot springs in the world that offer four different types of sulfur-free, mineral-rich waters: arsenic, lithia, iron, and soda. The area is steeped in history and ancient folklore, providing a unique backdrop for relaxation and healing. Once a gathering place for the local Pueblos, the springs have been a hub of healing and respite for centuries.

The Time-Honored Ritual of Communal Soaking

Communal soaking is more than a leisure activity; it’s a meaningful tradition rooted in wellness. Across cultures and generations, diverse groups of people have gathered around natural hot springs to experience relaxation, healing, and connection. This practice has endured for millennia, cherished for the profound balance it brings to mind and body.

From the ancient Roman baths that served as social and wellness centers to the Japanese onsens, where communal soaking is a honored cultural ritual, and the Turkish hammams renowned for their cleansing and relaxation practices—communal bathing has been a treasured tradition across civilizations for centuries. Indigenous peoples worldwide have also revered natural hot springs as sacred healing and spiritual renewal sites.

At Ojo Spa Resorts, this timeless tradition continues. Our spring-fed and geothermal pools are designed to provide a welcoming space for connection, tranquility, and holistic well-being. Immerse yourself in the healing waters and become part of a legacy that spans cultures and generations.

Imagine stepping into a shared pool, the warmth of the healing water easing every muscle as you experience peaceful conversations with fellow soakers. It’s a grounding experience that connects you to yourself and others.
