With the New Year upon us, travelers are seeking opportunities to digital detox, prioritize wellness, or find balance through meaningful travel. Long revered as a place of healing and transformation, New Mexico is taking its storied traditions into a new era, offering fresh, innovative takes on wellness experiences that inspire mind, body, and spirit.

The Land of Enchantment is the perfect travelers looking to begin anew with fulfilling wellness practices in the New Year — from hot springs, to retreats and resort stays. Some of the offerings include:

  • Natural hot springs: New Mexico's natural soaking spots offer the perfect idyllic escape, catering to every traveler from the budget-conscious to those seeking a luxurious, rejuvenating escape. From the healing waters at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort and Spa and Ojo Santa Fe to the Japanese-inspired serenity of mountainside Ten Thousand Waves and the cozy charm of Jemez Hot Springs or the funky vibes of Riverbend Hot Springs, nestled along the Rio Grande in the historic hot springs town of Truth or Consequences, each destination provides a distinct and unique experience.
  • Transformative retreats: Modern Elder Academy opened its first U.S. midlife-wisdom center this year in a Santa Fe County high desert nature preserve, while Monastery of Christ in the Desert, located near breathtaking Abiquiu, is a Catholic retreat that welcomes all walks for quiet overnight stays. Bishop's Lodge in Santa Fe offers Shamanic healing workshops to help bring balance and healing power back into your life.
  • Digital detox: Global searches for "digital detox retreat" have increased by 50% in the past year, leading travelers to peaceful places perfect for unplugging. In New Mexico, travelers can easily reconnect with nature and embrace mindful, off-grid exploration of self and nature. From the striking beauty of the white gypsum sand dunes at White Sands National Park to the otherworldly cone-shaped hoodoos at the recently reopened Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument

New Mexico beckons wellness seekers with an array of authentic offerings perfect for a New Year reset — or respite any time of year.
