About the location:

A high-desert refuge in America's land of enchantment. The scent of piñon woodsmoke fills the air as you step onto your private patio to watch the sun set. In Santa Fe, it’s hard not to feel a little spoiled by the rugged beauty that surrounds our intimate, 65-room Resort. Set on 57 rolling acres in the Sangre de Cristo foothills, and just 10 minutes from downtown’s shops and galleries, Rancho Encantado is undeniably romantic. Begin your days with a hike along the nearby ridges and arroyos as your guide shares tales of our dude-ranch past, then relax by our pool, indulge in a healing treatment at our Spa, and join us at Terra for elevated, regional cuisine before strolling back to your casita beneath a sweeping night sky.
