Soak up some serious ryokan vibes from this spa-centric sanctuary, headquartered just four miles outside Santa Fe. Inspired by the great Japanese mountain hot spring onsen, the property practically looks like it was lifted from the Hokkaido mountains, with fragrant piñons and juniper bushes surrounding the outdoor soaking tubs, and the fresh, characteristically clean lines of Japanese design framing each space. There are two communal tubs with sauna and cold plunge features—one for mixed bathing, and one for women only—four private tubs, and ample opportunities for such treatments as salt scrubs, thai massages, hot stone massage, and foot soaks. Outdoor wooden walkways and stairs, alight by the glow of lanterns, lead to three different kinds of suites, all equipped with classic Japanese cabinetry and comfortable beds. In keeping with the theme, there’s Izanami restaurant, an upscale izakaya experience, that serves small plates crafted from sustainably raised wagyu beef, pork, and chicken, and organic produce. Leave the kiddos at home and head here for a weekend that you (and your tired body!) won't soon forget.
