Located among 70 acres (28.3 hectares) of cottonwoods and ponds, Sunrise Springs in Santa Fe, New Mexico, offers an integrative spa and resort with therapeutically-designed programming, giving guests the opportunity to pause, decompress, and nourish both the body and the mind.
Sunrise Springs’ therapeutic approach is based on four principles: nature bathing, digital detox, learning through experience, and food as medicine. To reduce external distraction and stress, guests are encouraged to unplug from technology upon arrival and have the option of checking in their electronic devices during their stay.
Lodging options include 20 casitas with gas fireplaces and a private courtyard, as well as 32 resort-style guestrooms overlooking Sunrise Springs’ medicine wheel.
Sunrise Springs also is committed to a farm-to-table approach to food and beverage. Executive Chef Paul Novak incorporates herbs and greens grown on the property’s gardens and greenhouse, along with locally sourced produce to create seasonal dishes. Dinner is served at Blue Heron Restaurant where Novak and his culinary team explain the health benefits of the food being served.
The integrative therapeutic spa mixes the expertise of a medical clinic with the rejuvenating and restorative practices of a wellness spa.
“Every detail, from the landscaping, accommodations, and experiential activities to the food, spa and our integrative approach has been thoughtfully designed to meet the individual needs of our guests,” said Dr. David Hans, executive director at the resort. “We have assembled a team of credentialed health and wellness providers who are committed to helping each guest create sustainable healthy living practices that can be incorporated into their daily lives at home.”
