Rejuvenated Spa at Loretto Soothes With Ancient Techniques
SANTA FE, NM - A getaway isn't complete without a bit of head-to-toe pampering, and by utilizing special blends of indigenous New Mexico herbs and minerals and integrating ancient oils and techniques, the Spa at Loretto tempts guests with mind-numbing soulful treatments that embrace the essence of Santa Fe.
The Spa at Loretto is a quiet refuge of renewal in the heart of Santa Fe. The Spa flows seamlessly with the New Mexico landscape with its warm earth tones and honey-stained wood floors made of eastern pine, while cream and terracotta diamond faux-finished adobe walls and amber sconces encompass the soothing sanctuary. Six oversized spa suites are adorned with natural textures, beautifully carved cabinetry, luxurious chandeliers, deep claw-foot tubs and hand-woven accent fabrics that enhance the tranquil ambiance.
The Spa uniquely incorporates the four natural elements into its array of luxurious treatments. Earth-inspired treatments include the popular Sacred Stone and Desert Sage massages while Cooling Desert Rain, which soothes dry skin with a blend of cold presses, aloe, oils and chamomile extract, can be found under water-themed services.
The fire element emphasizes global rituals, such as Native Reflections, which begins with a sage cleansing and Native American blessing to lift the spirits, clear the lungs and boost the respiratory system then continuing with the Sacred Stone Massage. Personal astrology interpretations, life coaching, chakra balancing and energy-altering Reiki round out the elemental offerings under air.
The Southwest spirit also blends with the Far East for a handful of indulgences. Asian Fusion is a combination of Shiatsu, Thai and Balinese techniques and the Balinese massage is an authentic massage ritual based on the traditions of Bali with a combination of acupressure, rolling motions and rhythmic strokes to relieve tension and promote relaxation.
Salon and beauty services include a variety of facials and peels, pedicures, manicures, waxings and paraffin treatments. Day packages (Spirit Renewal and Peaceful Warrior) and bride and groom packages (Hearts on Fire) divinely combine a group of treatments to make guests and couples look and feel relaxed, renewed and invigorated.
