Afternoon Tea

Absolute Nirvana, a luxurious spa in Santa Fe, New Mexico, offers exotic Indonesian spa and facial treatments, as well as therapeutic, hot stone and Thai massage. We invite you to experience the bliss of a Balinese massage, followed by a soothing soak in a rose petal bath while sipping hot ginger tea. A truly heavenly experience.

Nirvana is a Sanskrit word meaning a place or condition of sublime happiness or fulfillment. At Absolute Nirvana, you will find a soothing sanctuary offering tranquility and beauty for body, mind and soul.

Dedicated to providing a feast for all the senses, the spa incorporates Asian philosophy in all our treatments. For thousands of years, Asian peoples have relied on the healing techniques and ritualistic significance of natural plants, herbs and spices for health and beauty care. In Indonesia this sacred and revered tradition is known as “Jamu”. At Nirvana, we carry on this practice, using only the highest quality organic massage and essential oils, plants and spices in all our spa treatments. In keeping with our total commitment to quality, our staff of Master-level massage therapists all have a minimum of five years of professional experience, while many have ten years or more.

Deepen your blissful experience with a visit to the tea room and gardens, where you can select from 50 fine loose teas & fabulous full-bodied chai, and restore your vitality with delectable teacakes and scones, or a selection from the fresh, organic lunch offerings.

ADDITIONAL LINKS OF INTEREST

TIP: Don't see a link for your day spa destination of choice? Don't overlook making use of a hotel spa for the day.  Many resorts and hotels encourage non-guests to use the spa for the day (although some charge a modest access fee). Often, Resort Spa facilities will offer day guests services by the hour, or full day programs, quiet rooms, relaxation areas, reading materials, cafes, and other facilities which make for a lovely day escape, without the cost of staying overnight.
