Are you still recovering from a hectic holiday season? If you’re looking for a reason to lounge in a quiet environment, then we have just the spot for you.
Welcome to the calming Santa Fe Salt Cave, a tranquil health spa unlike any you've ever seen.
You can think of it as a less humid, seagull-free version of visiting the oceanside. Proponents of halotherapy believe it can alleviate symptoms such as asthma, seasonal allergies, and even skin disorders.

Santa Fe Salt Cave is one of a handful of such health spas in New Mexico and we absolutely love how the humble exterior hides a replica cave.
Walk inside and you'll already begin to feel the tension dissipate from your body. The lobby is calm, quiet, and clean. From there, you can enter through the doors into...
...the salt cave itself. The walls and floors here are covered in nine tons of pink Himalayan salt, the lights are dimmed, and tranquil music plays from the speakers.
The salt cave has a small gift shop with salt lights and candle holders. You'll also find other indulgent self-care products, such as aromatherapy products, CBD bath bombs, and candles that smell like heaven.
