There’s something truly magical about New Mexico. The star-filled skies, the dry desert air, and the fact that almost every meal comes smothered in green chile—it’s called the “Land of Enchantment” for a reason. The state has a unique character shaped by centuries of Indigenous, Spanish, and American Western history. For a summer getaway, it’s a far cry from a Cape Cod vacation or a sunny California beach trip. With its wide-open highways and dramatic changes in scenery, New Mexico is perfect for a road trip.

Artfully designed by fashion designer Raquel Allegra, this 8,000-square-foot space sits on five acres that are maintained using biodynamic methods.

The furniture is stylish but simple, letting the home’s structure shine.

With six bedrooms, it’s spacious enough for a girls’ trip or a creative group retreat—one Vogue writer recently booked it for a unique bachelorette party.

This listing has been high on our Airbnb wishlist for years. Located in Abiquiu, not far from O’Keeffe’s famous Ghost Ranch, this adobe home sits in the middle of 10 shared acres in the high desert landscape that drew O’Keeffe—and generations of artists and photographers after her—to the area.

This recently renovated home is a quiet base for exploring one of New Mexico’s most creative regions. The traditional architecture is preserved with thick walls, desert light, wood beams, stone fireplaces, and classic New Mexican tile floors. The interiors are decorated with both man-made and natural items, like a Noguchi-style hanging paper lantern or a sculptural tumbleweed hanging from the ceiling. It’s the kind of place O’Keeffe herself might have chosen.
