History
Established in 2005.
The spa was inspired by a trip that Carolyn Lee (owner) and her family took in Bali in 2004. Carolyn was captivated by the grace and beauty she experienced on her vacation and decided to bring to Santa Fe the same sublime bliss she experienced while in Bali. The Balinese spa experience is a feast for the senses, incorporating not just heavenly massage but also the use of pure, natural and organic ingredients, beautiful flowers, exotic aromas and serene sounds. Carolyn worked together with Christa Obuchowsky, a world-famous spa consultant, to bring the best of Balinese spa treatments together with the utmost in comfort and techniques available.

Carolyn L.
Business Owner
Carolyn Lee has been an innkeeper for the past 23 years, opening Alexander’s Inn in 1997, shortly after moving to Santa Fe from Paris, France. As the daughter of a career diplomat, Carolyn has lived in many different countries, including Germany, Canada, Turkey and France. Her first career was as a dancer with Pennsylvania Ballet and Wisconsin Ballet. She later attended Tufts University, getting her degree in International Relations. Upon graduation she moved from Boston to New York and worked on Wall Street as well as in the field of advertising. From New York she moved to Paris, where her son Alexander was born. In 1986 Carolyn moved to Santa Fe and opened Alexander’s Inn with just four rooms. As the business expanded, so did Carolyn’s family. She is currently married to artist Ted Larsen and now has three children — Alexander and the twins, Madeleine and Nicholas. In 1998 she purchased two new inns, naming them after the twins. Absolute Nirvana Spa was opened in 2005.
