Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe

5 Stars – A True Sanctuary in the High Desert Wow—what a place! We came to unwind, recharge, and escape the noise of everyday life, and choosing the Four Seasons Santa Fe was by far the best decision we could have made. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in peace, comfort, and genuine hospitality. The serene desert landscape, combined with the elegant Southwestern design, creates an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and grounding. The casitas are private, beautifully appointed, and feel like your own little retreat in the mountains. The staff truly made our stay—warm, attentive, and authentic, always going the extra mile without ever feeling intrusive. Whether it was a sunrise coffee on the patio, a soak in the spa, or simply watching the sunset paint the sky, every moment felt special. If you’re looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and treat yourself to something truly unforgettable, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back.

Reviewing the restaurant experience. We have been twice now both dinner & breakfast. Dinner was lovely and the service was perfect. I want to make a special comment about breakfast as this has become our favorite spot to cycle to and take in the outdoor seating views over a splendid breakfast. They open early at 7. It’s very quiet, speedy and delicious.

The Four Seasons Santa Fe is a truly special place. The property itself is beautiful and scenic -- you really get to experience the beauty of Santa Fe while still being just 10-15 minutes from the center of the city (and, complimentary shuttle rides to and from the plaza make it easy to visit any time of day). The casitas are private enough to feel like your own, but still close the bar, restaurant, pool, and spa. There is also a wonderful hiking trail right on the property. The peace and quiet at night makes it feel like a real vacation. I had the pleasure of staying in the Encantado suite the first day I arrived, which was truly lovely, but I equally enjoyed the patio casita. They are large, stylish, modern rooms with a stunning bathroom (including heated floors and a deep soaking tub). The kiva fireplaces inside the casitas are such a unique and authentic touch that the outdoor patio fireplace feels like a bonus! I honestly never wanted to leave the room -- even the in-room dining options are delicious! (We ate several meals in the room, including breakfast, dinner, and snacks, and ate at a couple of high-end restaurants in town; we agreed the in-room dining meals were the best). The staff here shines as well -- every person I interacted with made the visit truly special and absolutely made me want to visit again soon. Special praise for Joseph, Kathy, Elijah, Martin, Stephanie, and Amanda, who all went above and beyond what I would expect, even at the Four Seasons. I absolutely recommend splurging on a stay here -- Santa Fe is beautiful and this Four Seasons will really make your visit unlike any other. I can't wait to return!
