Taos is a characterful little town in northern New Mexico, surrounded by the rugged Sangre de Cristo Mountains and wide-open desert landscapes. There’s plenty to keep you busy, from browsing galleries and cafes around the historic plaza to hiking canyon trails, exploring ancient adobe villages and skiing in winter. Places to stay are just as varied, with everything from cosy B&Bs to smart mountain lodges. El Monte Sagrado is our pick for a treat, thanks to its lovely spa, saltwater pool and romantic feel, while The Blake at Taos Ski Valley is hard to beat for a luxury ski escape.
