Sierra Grande

Sierra Grande is known for its legendary, healing hot springs and first-class spa. Sierra Grande, a Ted Turner Retreat, offers New Mexico travel at its finest.
(563)

Built in 1929, Sierra Grande provides its guests with a relaxing vacation experience complete with exquisite amenities unmatched by other area hotels, including a luxurious spa and exceptionally unique outdoor activities and tours through Ted Turner Reserves. Located in in the town of Truth or Consequences, media mogul and philanthropist Ted Turner’s Sierra Grande offers New Mexico travel at its f

inest. Upon visiting the lodge with his family in 2012, Ted Turner was instantly taken by Sierra Grande’s timeless elegance and serene atmosphere. He purchased the hotel the following year and ultimately added Sierra Grande to the TTR offerings in 2015. Sierra Grande serves as the launching point for Ted Turner Reserves' day tours. With private access to both the Ladder and Armendaris properties — a combined half million acres of ecologically diverse wildlands surrounding Truth or Consequences — your options are practically endless. Sierra Grande provides a relaxing Southwestern vacation destination with rustic charm infused into each guest room and throughout the property. The spa offers visitors the finest holistic spa treatments designed to melt away stress and tension. The ancient restorative private indoor and outdoor hot springs honor the legendary healing traditions first established by the region’s Native Americans.

🎉 Travel + Leisure has just named Truth or Consequences the Best Small Spa + Wellness Town in America!

"When you think of wellness destinations today, you probably imagine luxury resorts and upscale retreats. But in the tiny town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, the greatest luxury bubbles up from beneath the ground. Built atop a geothermal aquifer, the town is home to 10 commercial bathhouses, including several hot springs resorts." ~ Travel + Leisure Editors

🧖‍♀️ Sierra Grande and its spa and geothermal pools are part of the Healing Waters Trail that connects the wellness services and hot springs of T or C. During their stay, guests can enjoy wellness in the form of mineral soaks, outdoor adventure, spa treatments, farmer's markets, and regular yoga and live music sessions.

🐻 Why are bear scratches a common sight at Ladder? During a tour, Ted Turner Reserves Guide Amy reveals the relationship between Arizona alders and black bears.

🌳 Alders like these prefer to grow only in the cleanest water, indicating the health of the streams that run through this property and feed the riparian ecosystem. Scratches also leave scent that is a form of communication between bears.

📍Desert at Dusk at the Jornada Lava Caves at Armendaris. This week (August 27) marks the final weekly group excursion from Sierra Grande to witness the Mexican free-tailed bats take to the skies in search of insects. By the end of summer there are more than a million bats emerging at dusk.

🦇 Protecting roost sites is a top priority to ensure bats have safe, undisturbed habitat free of disease and human disturbance. The former bat guano mines at the site tell a story of the many ways this land has been used in the past. Oryx, pronghorn, and deer are often spotted grazing in the area.

The Mexican free-tailed bats will soon return to Mexico and Central America, and a smaller number of other species will remain in the caves through the winter. Private excursions are available until the bats migrate south. 📆 Reserve your tour at (877) 288-7637 or [email protected].
