Rancho La Puerta Wellness Resort and Spa
Embrace all that life at Rancho La Puerta Wellness Resort & Spa has to offer. An easy drive across the border from San Diego leads you to this superbly landscaped destination spa, which virtually started the wellness craze in the 1940s. The all-inclusive experience includes scheduled, round-trip transportation on Saturdays, all meals, guided hikes, and yoga and fitness classes, along with lectures and programs that focus on guests’ total well-being. Organic gardens provide ingredients for slow-food fare; join visiting chefs for tips on healthy cooking in the hands-on culinary school. Homey folk art fills the 86 airy garden casitas.
