Bishop’s Lodge Resort & Spa |
|
 The word “SháNah” means “vitality and energy” in the Navajo language, and that’s a good description of what you receive from a visit to this distinctive spa. Tucked in the shadows of the Sangre de Cristos, the Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa is a pristine high-mountain desert retreat located in the lush foothills just north of Santa Fe where ancient Pueblo healing traditions endure.
A Healing SanctuaryThe SháNah Spa, a healing sanctuary complete with waterfalls, whirlpools, and massage rooms to cleanse the spirit, is steeped within the Native American traditions of the Pueblo Tribes. With these strong traditions the use of natural healing remedies, herbs, sweat baths and teas are an essential part of the SháNah Spa & Wellness Center experience. The Spa Treatment Menu offers a wide variety of services, each one designed to invoke the bodies’ natural healing response. From Native Stone Massage to the Tesuque Clay Wrap, Abiyanga to Desert Fusion, treatments go beyond your highest expectations. You will be nurtured by Mother Nature and guided by the ancient wisdom of the Anasazi. Bishop’s Lodge features distinctive guest accommodations set in 15 “separate” lodges. Experience a true Santa Fe retreat with breathtaking surroundings and award winning accommodation. Phone: 505.983.6377, 800.419-0492
