This summer, The Inn of The Five Graces, the award-winning Relais & Châteaux retreat in the heart of Santa Fe’s historic Barrio de Analco, today unveils ‘The Sixth Grace’ experience, taking guests on a journey through the eponymous five senses, and culminating with offerings that extend beyond the physical plane. The new four-night wellness experience inspired by the Tibetan and Ayurvedic philosophy that defines the Inn’s celebrated Five Graces Spa is designed as the property’s most comprehensive wellness offering to date. The immersive journey invites guests to awaken each of the five senses before culminating in an experience centered on intuition, presence, and deeper self-awareness.
Set within adobe walls dating back to the 1600s in America’s oldest neighborhood, The Sixth Grace unfolds slowly over four nights, blending restorative spa therapies, mindful movement, world-class cuisine, and transformative experiences that reflect both Santa Fe’s rich cultural traditions and The Inn’s distinctive approach to holistic wellbeing.
“At The Inn of The Five Graces, we’ve always believed that true luxury is found in slowing down and becoming fully present,” said Sarah Sims, Director of Sales and Marketing. “The Sixth Grace expands on the philosophy of our spa by taking guests on an intentional journey through every sense before inviting them to discover something even more meaningful: the quiet intuition that emerges when the mind, body, and spirit are in harmony.”
Each morning begins with a complimentary wellness practice in the Five Graces Spa meditation room, where guests rotate through yoga, meditation, and Tai Chi to establish a rhythm of stillness that anchors the experience. From there, every element of the itinerary has been thoughtfully selected to celebrate one of the senses.
Scent: The journey begins with scent, as guests are welcomed with a handcrafted apothecary of Santa Fe-made herbal remedies featuring botanical balms, aromatic oils, and calming tinctures inspired by the high desert landscape.
Touch: Touch follows with a Himalayan Salt Stone Massage, using warm mineral-rich stones to ease tension and restore balance.
Sight: Sight is awakened through the Five Graces Signature Facial, designed to reveal radiant skin using deeply hydrating treatments inspired by the region.
Sound: Guests then experience sound during a restorative sound healing session featuring singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and tuning forks that create immersive vibrational therapy.
Taste: Taste is celebrated with dinner at the legendary Pink Adobe, paired with a guided mezcal flight exploring the nuances of Mexico’s iconic spirit
The Sixth Grace: The experience then moves beyond the traditional five senses into what The Inn calls The Sixth Grace. Guests choose between a private Reiki session or a personal clairvoyant reading before concluding their stay with the internationally acclaimed EQUUS Experience®, where guided interactions with horses foster authentic connection, emotional awareness, and self-discovery without ever riding the animals.
The Sixth Grace starts at $2,192 per night based on double occupancy in a Deluxe Queen or King Room, with a four-night minimum stay required.
