The space, dating back to 1934, is an intimate retreat that combines the warm, inviting atmosphere of Spanish-style building with organic botanical offerings for a truly relaxing southwestern spa day.

Hacienda Spa believes our environment influences our bodies and minds, which is why they are dedicated to ensuring guests are surrounded by lush nature, organic food, and rich culture during their stay.

The Hacienda Courtyard hosts a rose garden, fireplace, and a Moorish fountain with elaborate tile work, offering a charming spot to unwind before or after your treatment. The spa’s six treatment rooms each have stunning views of the amenities, including the lotus pond, garden, and the spectacular Sandia Mountains.

The phrase “Dedicada La Vida Generosa” was inscribed on a tile by Meem and inspires the spa’s philosophy of sharing the “generous life” with guests. Drawing inspiration from nature, Hacienda Spa’s thoughtfully curated treatments and refined ambiance come together to provide a truly immersive and rejuvenating experience. Expert estheticians and massage therapists offer highly-customized facials, massages, and body treatments.

Every treatment begins with an opening ritual to select a signature scent, inviting you to unwind as the first step of your Hacienda Spa journey. The spa’s offerings are deeply connected to the property’s gardens and working farm, with Los Poblanos’ signature lavender products and other on-site botanicals integrated into treatments. Products from Sorella Apothecary, emerginC Organics, and knesko are also used at the spa.
