Ten Thousand Waves

Ten Thousand Waves is the most enchanting and culturally distinctive spa retreat in the American Southwest, a Japanese mountain hot spring resort perched in the pinon-dotted foothills above Santa Fe where private outdoor hot tubs carved into the hillside, shoji-screened treatment rooms, and an architecture of spare Japanese wood and stone create an atmosphere of meditative serenity that feels genuinely transported from the mountains of Japan. With 14 intimate spa accommodations for overnight stays, the Izanami izakaya restaurant celebrating Japanese farm-to-table cuisine, and a location just minutes from Santa Fe's plaza, it is a singular choice for planners seeking a wholly original Santa Fe experience that rewards guests with an evening of hot soaking, stargazing, and unhurried silence beneath New Mexico's legendary skies.
