An oasis in the middle of town and easy walking distance from the Plaza. Wonderful and experienced staff. My therapist Karin was incredible. Absolute Nirvana in the true sense. More

I had two different spa treatments during a recent stay at The Madeleine Inn. Lauren and Killeen were my therapists and they were excellent. I especially recommend the hot stone massage - it was very unique. An unexpected pleasure of the Nirvana massages was the beautiful treatment rooms - so unlike a typical clinical-looking spa room.

I had a really terrible massage here. I was looking forward to a nice experience. A concierge at a major hotel had recommended the place. The massage therapist was not sensitive at all. She insisted on working my neck and back area even after I told her four times that I'd had enough (30 minutes or so is enough) and... More

I too would be most upset of a therapist repeatedly ignored my requests and I take this review very seriously. It boggles the mind to think that any therapist would do such a thing, particularly one at Absolute Nirvana, where all therapists are Master-Level, with 17-23 years of experience. I sent a private Trip Advisor message to this reviewer a... More

My husband and I went to Santa Fe for our anniversary, and I developed lower back pain during one of our hikes. I called Absolute Nirvana Spa and Gardens as it was highly rated on trip advisor, and it happened to be close to our hotel. George, who booked me the appointment and who greeted me upon arrival, was the... More

My husband and I started our long-weekend trip with a couples massage at Absolute Nirvana Spa and Gardens and what a terrific experience. We can see why they are rated so high on Trip Advisor . . . .They do not disappoint! The environment was serene and the massages left both of us regretting that we did not do the... More

Relaxing spa. Well-maintained property with zen-like feel. The chocolate scrub was luxury, followed by a steam shower! Ah, bliss. More

I had a Thai massage with Lauren and she was fantastic! She stretched every limb and I felt 10 feet tall after she was done. My friends were also very pleased with their treatments. I am so glad we found this spa on TripAdvisor as we would not have found it on our own. It is a hidden gem. Also,... More

I have been to spas all over the country and was so pleasantly surprised to find this little piece of heaven in my hometown. The treatments were on par with larger spa's but void of the unpersonalized attention that can come with the larger spa's. My treatment room was very roomy, super clean, my therapist was really amazing and able... More
