Once a frumpy old dude ranch, the Encantado resort is the height of Southwestern chic without the antlers and wagon wheels. Here's a sneak peak at the luxurious getaway.
On arrival head immediately to the spa, whose stress cures will banish the rigors of the road. There are 35 treatments, to be exact, including innovative offerings for men. My favorite was the 90-minute Enchanted Facial which includes a soothing hand and scalp massage. Wrapped cocoon like in flannel sheets and a cashmere blanket, I fell into a deep sleep as facialist April Fair applied her ritual of 25-step cleansing and moisturizing steps. When I awakened, two hands gently kneaded and rubbed my feet with peppermint foot balm. As I climbed off the table, I was smiling. (I suspect the spa will do the same for you.)
