A Morning Ritual Beneath Cottonwood Skies

Before the sun peeks above the Sangre de Cristos, a soft stillness settles over Ojo Santa Fe Spa Resort. Each morning, lodging guests can begin their day with a complimentary yoga class, a grounding practice held just steps from the thermal pools. Moving with the rhythms of breath and birdsong, the class invites a gentle presence before the day unfolds.. More than just a wellness offering, it’s an invitation to align body and spirit – available exclusively to overnight guests.

Nature-Rooted Reconnection in the High Desert

Nestled just 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe, Ojo Santa Fe Spa Resort feels worlds away. Set on 77 lush acres, this hydrotherapy retreat blends simple elegance with the raw, wild beauty of the Northern New Mexico landscape. Here, time slows. Paths wind through cottonwood groves,, and water flows from a pure, spring-fed aquifer into gently heated thermal pools.This isn’t a spa retreat that tries too hard. It doesn’t need to. The experience is shaped by the land itself –- untamed, timeless, and deeply generous.

Soak, Float, Repeat

Whether for a day or a weekend, the heart of Ojo is found in its waters. Spring-fed thermal pools glimmer beneath big skies. A Junior Olympic-sized saltwater pool invites slow laps or buoyant lounging. Every pool holds a different rhythm; every moment of rest, a reminder to simply be. The saltwater pool is open seasonally, allowing guests to enjoy refreshing swims under the New Mexico sun during warmer months. Lodging guests receive unlimited access to all shared pools from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with early and late soaks bookending days filled with quiet exploration.

Spa Offerings Inspired by Water and Earth

At Ojo, spa is more than a treatment – it’s a philosophy rooted in salus per aquas: health through water. Licensed massage therapists draw from centuries of tradition, offering treatments like the Ojo Dreaming or Legends of Ojo, each designed to nourish and recalibrate. Every session begins and ends with hydrotherapy, so your body is already in tune before the first touch. Treatments are performed in rooms near the water, where you may hear the breeze in the trees or the gentle stillness of water nearby. Ingredients are local, pure, and purposeful. The feeling afterward? Like floating.

Nourishment From the Land

Meals at Ojo Santa Fe are an extension of the healing experience. The Blue Heron Restaurant offers regionally inspired, seasonal cuisine on the only waterside patio in Santa Fe. It’s refined but unfussy – vegetables come from the Ojo Farm, and every bite feels rooted in place. Begin your day with breakfast at Sages Cafe. End it with a sunset dinner and wine as the sky deepens into purple and gold.

Trails, Trees, and Fuzzy Friends

With over five miles of private hiking trails, there’s room to roam. Wander among piƱons, follow paths lined with chamisa, or find a quiet bench and simply sit. If your adventures take you to the Puppy Patch, you’ll be joined by one of the resort’s resident rescue pups – a playful, tail-wagging reminder to stay light on your feet. These puppies are also available for adoption through EspaƱola Humane, offering guests a chance to bring home a new friend. Nearby, you may hear soft coos and clucks from Ojo’s beloved Silkie chickens. During special Chicken Chats, you might find yourself holding one of these friendly hens, who spend their days roaming their coop and rustling through the grass like they own the place. Like everything at Ojo, they add to the quiet rhythm of the land – a gentle reminder of nature’s balance and grace.
