Friends,
We’re having a fabulous ski season in New Mexico, and especially at Ski Santa Fe. February’s sure to be a peak month at all our area ski resorts with more snow predicted and plenty of crisp blue skies ahead. For me, there’s nothing better than plowing through piles of new powder to make me feel alive! I recently skied my little legs off and then made my way back to the hotel for a well-earned treatment at The Spa at La Fonda.
It’s been 17 months since we reopened our refreshed and renewed Spa at La Fonda on the Plaza, inviting visitors to the City Different to sample our expanded menu of wellness services. And it’s been a great 17 months! The Spa has taken off as word has spread about our three relaxing treatment rooms where you can indulge in a massage, facial or other body treatment.
Facials are a great introduction to The Spa, and one of my favorites. Our abundant sun, dry climate and cold winter weather really takes a toll on the part of my skin that’s always exposed – especially because I’m outside all the time with my horse or on the slopes.
A facial with lead aesthetician Gladys Diaz starts with a full skin evaluation, drawing on her 30 years of experience and extensive skin care knowledge. You might choose our new Desert Rose replenishing facial. It gives skin a youthful glow with the healing and regenerating properties of Bulgarian Rose oil. And it smells divine! Gladys’ gifted hands will have you doing a double take in the mirror because you’ll look so good!
(Gents, we’ve got a facial especially for you, too. It combines steaming hot towels, targeted exfoliants, contouring eye treatment, hydrating products, and last but not least, a relaxing neck and shoulder massage).
It’s really the people that have made the Spa a destination for indulgence. Our incredible massage therapists are all experts at making guests feel welcome and pampered. With decades of collective experience, our therapists have cultivated the focus and attention necessary to evoke truly relaxing experiences. They love what they do and it shows.
One of our most popular treatments, especially in February, is the couple’s massage – whether you bring your bestie, your mom or sister, or your partner. Check the website for a full list of spa treatments, and reserve your perfect time.
Don’t wait another four years to treat yourself – especially if you’re outdoors a lot in the winter, like I am. You’ve got an extra day to do it this month at the Spa.
See you on the slopes,
Jenny
