Ojo History
The land of Ojo Santa Fe boasts a rich history stretching back thousands of years, interwoven with the healing properties of its natural hot springs. When it comes to both properties Ojo Santa Fe and Ojo Caliente, here’s a breakdown of their origins:
- Prehistory Ojo Santa Fe rests on land with a rich history of human settlement dating back to prehistoric times. A lush oasis created by abundant water from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains attracted early hunter-gatherers and farmers. The area is part of the La Cienega Valley, named for the Spanish word for “marsh.” Pueblos built from adobe and stone, including La Cienega Pueblo (established around 1100 AD) and La Cieneguilla, were later built in the valley.
- The Spanish Era Spanish colonists arrived in the late 16th century, establishing a stop (paraje) called El Alamo de San Jose on the land. This stop became part of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the oldest highway in the United States.
- Modern Wellness Destination: Ojo Santa Fe continues its legacy of healing and rejuvenation. Today, it caters to modern travelers seeking relaxation and wellness experiences. The resort incorporates the area’s rich history while offering modern amenities like farm-to-table dining and various spa treatments.

The relaxing resort experience was a welcomed break from our daily routine. Although we found it unnecessary to leave the grounds during our stay, we did venture out and checked out a few notable restaurants only about a twenty minute drive away. For offsite dining we suggest these notable restaurants:
Paloma—A women-owned local favorite, Paloma’s lively menu includes authentic and fresh interpretations of Mexican cuisine. All ingredients are carefully and sustainably sourced.
Sweetwater– Their menu is a passport to deliciousness, featuring fresh, natural, whole foods from around the world. Savor dishes crafted with seasonal ingredients.
We checked out Apothecary, an Ayurvedic, curated dining, teahouse that features an oxygen bar for a late night vegan dessert.
We felt welcomed by the city of Santa Fe and invigorated by the healing waters of Ojo. We cannot wait to come back and try Ojo Caliente.
