The Resort’s onsite Adventure Center, led by Adventure Architect Hans Loehr, offers customizable hikes through the Jemez Mountains, where guests can witness bubbling hot springs, red desert cliffs, and the chance to hear elk bugling. For a unique addition, combine your hike with a visit to Los Alamos to learn about the Manhattan Project.
Santa Fe offers an abundance of activities this season. In October, take in the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, or visit Meow Wolf for a family-friendly art adventure. October 26 brings the 7th Annual Santa Fe Spirits of New Mexico, and the iconic Dia de Los Muertos celebration runs from November 1 to 3 at the historic Santa Fe Plaza.
Art lovers can enjoy the Resort’s exclusive Art Concierge program, led by Mike McKosky. Whether you’re browsing galleries or sourcing new pieces, this personalized service will guide you through Santa Fe’s vibrant art scene, even offering artist meet-and-greets and private gallery showings.
For wellness seekers, The Spa at Four Seasons offers signature treatments inspired by northern New Mexico’s healing traditions, including the Mountain Spirit Purification, which features sage smudging, an adobe clay body mask, and a juniper-sage hot stone massage. Guests can also enjoy complimentary yoga and sound healing classes, perfect for connecting mind and body in the serene setting.
At Terra, the Resort’s signature restaurant, fall flavors take center stage. Seasonal highlights include butternut squash soup with spiced pumpkin seeds, juniper-braised lamb shank, and elk osso buco with herbed polenta. Special Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos menus, along with seasonal mezcal flights, offer even more fall indulgence. Families can enjoy complimentary s’mores by the fire, either in their private casita or during a scenic sunset.
The Discover Santa Fe package adds to the experience, allowing guests to choose two complimentary activities per room, such as a private family hike, mountain biking, or a fireside indoor picnic. Enjoy the beauty of the Land of Enchantment with a stay that celebrates the best of fall and winter in Santa Fe.
