Best hot springs in New Mexico
New Mexico is hot-springs country — we’ve mapped 6 of its best, from resort, primitive soaks. Pick your style, then build the trip around a good long soak.
Ojo CalienteResort
one of the oldest natural-spring spas in the country, with rare mineral pools.
Ten Thousand WavesResort
a Japanese-style mountain onsen above Santa Fe.
Spence Hot SpringsPrimitive
a short climb to natural pools over the Jemez River.
McCauley Warm SpringsPrimitive
large, mellow forest pools full of little fish.
Black Rock Hot SpringsPrimitive
riverside pools in the Rio Grande Gorge near Taos.
Riverbend Hot SpringsResort

Soak smart: water temps vary and can scald, primitive pools are use-at-your-own-risk, and access, permits, and clothing-optional rules change. Check current conditions and never soak alone in remote spots.
