Four day spa weekends start at $1,495 per person, double occupancy; eight day spa packages start at A piñon juniper forest surrounds Vista Clara Ranch outside of Sante Fe, a place where the grand vistas’ are never obstructed, and there’s always a place to sit, slow down, and reflect. There’s an aromatic infusion here among the piñon and juniper. As you go out into the evening and sink into the hot tub, it may strike you with force. When twilight washes over the Galisteo Valley and Sandia Mountains, breath deeply and take it all in. Later in the spa, an aromawrap will unite these and other local elements; your body will want it all.
In the kitchen, the infusion continues as Chef David Farrell, recipient of the James Beard award, works wonders with the bounty of the organic gardens and orchards. In a cooking class, or more passively at the table, you’ll appreciate the synergy of native, hand-crafted ingredients.
Back in your room, the warmth of hand-crafted surroundings continues. Overhead, as you nestle in the loft of the white down bedding, robust trunks of raw pine hold up the roof, and the rough, sinuous curves of the outer bark becomes bed-time reading. Cool, rich air washes into the room, and you settle deeply into a better place.
