Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe

Want to be out of town in the quiet countryside? Opt for Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado. The boutique property, about a 15-minute ride from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, seems like it's in another world. The 65 contemporary casitas offer fireplaces, private patios or terraces with views, ample closet space and over sized bathrooms. Each has a soaking tub, walk-in shower and double sinks in a granite vanity. The luxurious spa will pamper you. There's also a seasonal outdoor pool and well-equipped fitness room for guests' enjoyment. Terra, the resort's restaurant, takes fine food seriously; the Chef even has an organic garden right outside the kitchen door. Enjoy a sunset drink around the patio's fire pit or in the bar. The views are superb. Ride the Mercedes shuttle into town or arrange in advance to use a new Mercedes-Benz convertible or SUV while you're there.
