Scene
A sprawling resort featuring numerous activities and amenities in a beautiful locale
The Tamaya sits in a spectacular, isolated location beside the Rio Grande and in full view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Taking its cue from the Santa Ana Pueblo tribe and their reverence for nature, the Tamaya has incorporated elements of the local culture into everything from the architecture to the pool design. The effect is serene.The Pueblo-style building is three stories high and meshes harmoniously with the surrounding desert landscape. Inside the quiet lobby many local works of art -- such as pottery, carvings, paintings, and Native rugs -- are scattered about. Huge windows provide striking views of the natural setting behind the hotel and the cottonwood forest hiding the Rio Grande. An impressive Pueblo-style ceiling of wood beams and hundreds of vigas lend an earthy atmosphere to the space.In the big courtyard, fountains and immaculately groomed grounds lead to three pools, each different from the next. The Kiva Pool is round -- to reflect the traditional Pueblo ceremonial chamber -- and features saline water instead of chlorine. The shallow walking pool is perfect for toddlers, and the biggest pool has a water slide that attracts the older kids. In addition to the pools, guests can get a horseback ride (for a fee), play on two tennis courts, hike and bike nature trails, play basketball, explore a recreated Pueblo home, visit a cultural center, shop in two gift boutiques, and even take a hot-air balloon ride (for a fee).More than 70,000 feet of meeting space is available, as the Tamaya is a popular conference destination. The Tamaya Mist Spa & Salon offers a full range of services within quiet treatment rooms. Several dining options are available, and the Twin Warriors Golf Club features an 18-hole course with great views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
