Tucked into a valley just outside of Santa Fe, the oasis of Sunrise Springs with its Spa Samadhi and Blue Heron Restaurant will soothe and relax you after a busy day of seeing the sights. We are the perfect base for all of your adventures and travels.

 

Founded by Spanish missionaries as their northernmost colonial capital in 1609, Santa Fe is one of America’s oldest and most beautiful cities. With one of the highest concentrations of art galleries and museums, you will find wonderful exhibits, collectibles and shopping downtown as well as on Canyon Road and the Guadalupe/Railyard district.

 

Explore the narrow, meandering roads in our older neighborhoods that reveal beautiful gardens, courtyards, and weathered gates. Located at the base of the stunning Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe and its adjoining areas offer excellent access to outdoor adventures and treks into nature.

 

New Mexico's capital city still celebrates the traditions of its cultural history; Fiesta in the fall, Pueblo feast days and dances throughout the year, and Las Posadas on the Plaza at Christmas, so plan to come see us all year long.
