Rancho La Puerta
Mexico, The AmericasRancho La Puerta, one of the world’s first destination spas, lies near sunny San Diego in the North of Mexico.
The grounds include 40 miles of hiking trails, an organic farm with cooking school, and no fewer than 11 well equipped gyms and four swimming pools, without even mentioning the tennis and pickleball courts! There are extensive daily activities with up to 50 classes each day, including early morning hikes, yoga, Pilates, aqua classes, dance and more, and the super enthusiastic instructors are on hand to personalise a programme for you so that you can track your progress. There is also a charming Spa to indulge in some knock-out treatments like the Sacred Moment Massage or the sublime Four Hands Massage.
Food is mainly vegetarian - it’s low in fat & sodium and is based on locally-sourced food that is full of colour and delicious to eat; there is no deprivation at Rancho La Puerta. The décor is not modern chic, but more proudly Mexican, and perhaps a little frayed around the edges. Nevertheless, this is a deeply-rooted wellbeing experience which, after seventy years of healing and rejuvenating, has perfected its art and is rightly considered one of the world’s great Destination Spas.
