If getting to unwind and relax during your stay with us in New Mexico is on your itinerary, then a visit to these Santa Fe hot springs is a must! These revitalizing hot springs are thanks to the several volcanic aquifers that flow beneath the ground in our area. These warm pools contain incredible healing minerals for a truly revitalizing experience. There’s something particularly romantic about a long soak, surrounded by rugged wilderness and completely secluded, away from it all.
While many of these Santa Fe hot springs are located out in the Santa Fe National Forest, you’ll also find a few options closer into town with spa amenities as well. The most popular location, Ten Thousand Waves, offers a host of treatments from Japanese massage, facials, and full-body skincare. It’s located in the foothills of Santa Fe only about 15 minutes from downtown.
As a guest at our Santa Fe Bed and Breakfast, allow us to pamper you from the minute you arrive. Our warm staff welcomes you to settle into one of our beautifully appointed guest suites, wander our lush garden grounds, or join us in our artfully decorated common spaces with wood fireplace and cozy seating areas. Check out our upcoming availability in the new year and book your next stay today!
Check out these Santa Fe Hot Springs
Here’s where to find some of the best Santa Fe hot springs for a soak that will restore your mind and body.
- Ten Thousand Waves: Located right in Santa Fe and only a little more than ten minutes from our New Mexico bed and breakfast, this Japanese-themed spa and resort offers massage, skin treatments, and soaking pools. While these hot tubs are not technically springs, the waters are sourced from a 900-foot deep well, so you’ll still have the benefits of minerals and healing properties.
- Ojo Santa Fe: Just about 20 minutes from the city center, these Santa Fe hot springs are world-renowned for their mineral-enriched waters rumored to be beneficial for skin ailments and a significant boost to the immune system. Head to these spring-fed waters for a day of relaxation in New Mexico’s high desert.
- Jemez Hot Springs: While this hot spring is a bit of a trek from downtown Santa Fe (about an hour and a half scenic drive), it’s known as one of the best in the world, so let’s just say it’s worth it. Set our early and head for a soak in these all-natural pools with therapeutic waters originating from beneath the Valles Caldera National Preserve. The pool’s temperatures sit at around 98-105 degrees for an ideal comfort level.
- Spence Hot Springs: Located within the Santa Fe National Forest near the Jemez Spring, this naturally occurring hot spring is reached via a short hike. This warm, but small pool, is best in the fall and winter months and is a reasonably popular destination among visitors and locals alike.
- McCauley Warm Springs: Also within the boundaries of the Santa Fe National Forest, this rustic thermal spring is accessed by a 4.3-mile hike. You’ll find cascading springs pooling in multiple areas here for soaking in the mineral-rich waters. After this hefty hike, you’ll love heading back to our Santa Fe Inn for a relaxing evening by the fire.
