Ojo Caliente, north of Santa Fe, has been used for bathing for centuries by the Pueblo peoples of the Rio Grande valley; the present resort dates from 1868, making it one of the oldest health spas in the United States. Its adobe hotel was built in 1916.

Why visit
Four distinct waters — iron, soda, arsenic and lithia — surface within the same small site, which is rare, and the pools sit under cliffs in the high desert. A mud pool and quiet, phone-free bathing areas complete it.
