Wo' P'in Spa at Hilton Buffalo Thunder

Wo' P'in Spa sits inside the Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder resort, on land tied to the Pueblo of Pojoaque. The name translates roughly to "Medicine Mountain" in the Tewa language, and the spa leans on that local connection with Indigenously influenced treatments alongside more familiar offerings: massages, body treatments, Yon-Ka facials, Dazzle Dry manicures and pedicures, and Aveda haircare and styling.

The facility covers 16,000 square feet and includes separate men's and women's locker rooms and lounges, each with its own whirlpool, dry sauna and steam room. There's also a dedicated couple's treatment room for those booking together. Access to the wet areas is generally reserved for people receiving a spa treatment that day, though hotel guests not booking a treatment can buy a day pass when availability allows.

The spa runs an adults-only policy, with a minimum age of 16. Guests booking a treatment are encouraged to arrive about an hour early to use the whirlpool, sauna and steam room before their service, rather than rushing straight into a treatment room. A robe and slippers are provided, and the spa asks that phones be turned off and guests refrain from smoking inside.

Standard hours run 9am to 6pm most days, with Tuesday closing earlier at 4pm. A 20% service charge and New Mexico sales tax are added to treatments automatically, with the bulk of that charge going to the service provider as gratuity. Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice or the full service gets charged.
