#4 on the LR 100

Travel + Leisure magazine readers voted Vermejo the World’s Best Resort Hotel in the West in 2023. Like its pioneering owner, Vermejo has led the way in regenerative tourism. “Nothing is small in Ted’s world,” says Jade McBride, president of Ted Turner Reserves, who oversees a network of luxury New Mexico hospitality properties, which include 1.1 million acres across the Land of Enchantment. Vermejo G.M. Theresa King is undeniably partial. “One of the things that sets us apart is we’re always thinking about the environment every bit as much as we’re thinking about the guest experience,” King says. “While they’re with us, we want to educate our guests without making them feel like they’ve come to school. Everyone walks away feeling they know more about the land and the planet.”

Season of Sabbatical debuts in January at Vermejo, the crown jewel of Ted Turner Reserves. Voted the World’s Best Resort Hotel in the West by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine, the historic 558,000-acre ranch in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado offers an array of experiences, including alpine tundra, 19 fishable lakes, and a herd of bison 1,200 strong.

The new wintertime program features a trio of tracks: the Creator’s Path for creatives; the Grounded Executive for leaders in business or nonprofits; and the Restorative Reset for anyone who is facing change or burnout.

Guests spend anywhere from three to six weeks at the resort’s private cottages and cabins with access to chef-prepared meals, yoga, massage, guided nature walks or snowshoeing, workshops in journaling and painting, plus conservation tours.

“This was driven by our employees, who wanted people to experience Vermejo like they do — well beyond three to four days,” says Jade McBride, president of Ted Turner Reserves, the hospitality arm of Turner Enterprises.

“Exploring the property in the winter is just so calming. We want Season of Sabbati-cal to be a way that people can be touched, changed, and inspired, and to reset for the rest of the year.”

“When we started to consider Bernal Lake Cabin years and years ago, it became important to me that the cabin itself — the location, the space, the accommodation — help connect people with nature,” says Ted Turner Reserves CEO Jade McBride. “It’s unbelievably humbling to encounter the landscape as it was more than 100 years ago.”
