Spa Facility
Rated one of the 101 best spas in the world by Tatler magazine, the Spa at Rancho Encantado is uniquely designed to reflect the sacred kiva rooms of the indigenous Pueblo Indians. Comfortable, simple and serene, the Spa's pared-down Southwest style is seen in regionally inspired treatments, massages and bodywork, all complemented by the best of rituals from the Far East.
Biking, Mountain
With varied and remarkably scenic terrain, the area is a paradise for both novice and experienced cyclists. Ride through aspen meadows and ponderosa pine forests, or take in views of high-desert vistas and the Chama River.
