Getting There
The Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort and Spa is located about a 30-minute drive north of Albuquerque International Sunport, Albuquerque's airport, and about a 40 minute drive south of Santa Fe. AeroMexico, American, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Northwest, Southwest, United and US Airways are among the carriers serving the Phoenix airport.
The Art of Smart Timing
High season is Memorial Day through October's Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. Low season runs from after October's Balloon Fiesta to Memorial Day. The resort doesn't typically offer a shoulder season.
All About the Extras
We really like the complimentary flute playing in the lobby and the evening S'mores and storytelling (on selected nights). Somewhat pet-friendly, the resort allows pets 30 pounds and under to stay for an extra fee of $50.
Take advantage of the Srai-Wi activities. The complimentary ones such as Stories Under the Stars and Journey Through Tamaya are must dos.
Evening babysitting is available by reservation. Stand-out souvenirs at the Trading Post Gift Shop include the Native American children’s storybooks by Santa Ana tribe member Emmett Garcia and the keep-the-kids- interested "Big New Mexico Activity Book." If you're looking for something locally inspired to read, the store also sells Tony Hillerman novels, many of which are set in New Mexico and Arizona and feature sensitively drawn Native Americans.
The Galleria Tamaya sells authentic and unusual Native American jewelry as well as rugs and pottery.
For Mom and Dad
The Tamaya Mist Spa incorporates Native American traditions and local ingredients. For example, in some treatments red chile is added to the local mud to stimulate blood circulation. The exfoliant employed in the Three Sisters Salt Scrub combines blue corn meal, Anasazi beans and pumpkin seeds. In Ancient Drumming after a therapist applies a mud masque, he "drums" away stress by applying flaxseed-filled muslin bags dipped in pinon scented oil. At the spa, be sure to try the homemade granola that contains a small amount of green chile for that southwestern bite.
Adults who like to spa as well as horseback ride, can opt for the resort's Saddle Up and Spa package, a combination of trail rides, hands-on time with the horses and pampering spa treatments.
The Corn Maiden, the fine dining restaurant takes its name from the honored symbol of the Santa Ana Pueblo. The restaurant caters to adults, specializing in grilled meats.
Play 18 holes of golf at the Twin Warriors Golf Club, designed by Gary Panks.
