About this Sanctuary

Nestled in the foothills of Santa Fe, 10,000 Waves offers an authentic and serene Japanese hot spring experience. The venue is a harmonious blend of traditional aesthetics and modern comfort, featuring meticulously landscaped grounds with pagodas, waterfalls, and private soaking pools that provide a tranquil escape from city life. The atmosphere is one of Zen and relaxation, enhanced by the warm cedar scent in the air and the gentle sounds of nature. Guests can enjoy unlimited access to the Grand Bath, which includes a waterfall, sauna, cold plunge pool, and outdoor shower, all while basking in the privacy of their own private garden setting. The shiatsu massage service is particularly noteworthy, trained by a Japanese sensei who ensures unparalleled relaxation. While the facility caters primarily to adults, it does offer accommodations for overnight stays, making it an ideal destination for both day trips and longer visits.
