One of the longest continuously operating health resorts in the U.S., Ojo Caliente's natural springs were once used for centuries by the area's Pueblo Indians. Today, the resort consists of an historic mission-style hotel that dates back to 1916. The Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort and Spa is the only hot springs in the world with four different types of mineral water: lithium, iron, soda and arsenic, and the resort's 10 pools are filled with different combinations of waters and temperatures so everyone can relax and enjoy comfortably. There's also a mud pool where you can slather mud all over your body and bake in the sun, releasing toxins from the pores of your skin.
Guests at the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort and Spa will find the rooms are simple and lack showers or bathtubs, as you'll be bathing in the resort's communal baths while here. Those looking to stay toned can enjoy yoga and hiking, or if you prefer, remain passive and let your therapist do the work with a deep tissue, hot stone or Thai massage. The Sundari Custom Facial Treatment is absolutely decadent with its blend of Ayurvedic dosha specific cleansers, plus a bamboo and date exfoliation, Gotu Kola and lotus oil face and neck massage, plus a rose and lavender hydrating mask to slow the breakdown of collagen. This treatment includes an eye treatment with chamomile oil and healing Neem eye cream to keep your skin looking radiant. Speaking of radiant, the Radiant Salt Glow is an invigorating body rub of ancient sea bed salts, cornmeal and massage oil that will leave you softened and renewed. And for a real treat, try the Signature Milagro Relaxation Wrap, that's best after a soak in the spa's geothermal waters.
To cap off the perfect spa getaway, head to the Artesian Restaurant for delicious and healthy American fare.
