Fodor's Expert Review Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe

This secluded and stunning luxury compound on a dramatic, sunset-facing bluff in the Sangre de Cristo foothills exemplifies the Four Seasons brand's famously flawless sense of gracious hospitality and efficiency. Amenities include an on-site Adventure Center, through which guests can book everything from guided tours of Taos and O'Keeffe Country to hiking, horseback, snowshoeing, river rafting, fishing, and biking excursions. Taking advantage of Santa Fe's endless supply of sunshine, villa-style casitas are contemporary, airy, and earthy. Kitted with adobe fireplaces, deep soaking tubs, heated bathroom floors and spacious dressing areas, rooms exemplify comfortable cushiness. Detox at the spa with regionally inspired treatments like Mountain Spirit Purification, take a Pilates class in the movement studio, soak in the cool waters of the on-site pool, or work out in the 24-hour fitness center before enjoying a sunset cocktail at the bar and a sumptuous globe-spanning culinary adventure at the restaurant, Terra. Complimentary shuttles run regularly into town and guests have access to Encantado's extensive concierge services.
