Golden Door Spa Resort
United States, The AmericasThe award-winning, big-hitting spa for people who want results. Opened in 1958 by the renowned pioneer of wellness Deborah Szekely, Golden Door has been whipping high-profile guests into shape for over fifty years. Offering week long tailor-made stays (choose from female-only, male-only or co-ed), this Southern Californian institution is spread over a 600-acre site and focuses on achieving a body, mind and spirit balance. Days begin with a guided dawn hike and end with a deep-tissue massage, or an inspirational talk by guest speakers such as Arianna Huffington.
All fitness levels are catered for and whether you’re here to lose weight, get fit or gently rejuvenate, you’ll also achieve a sense of balance with as much of the programme centred on inner wellbeing as it is on physical strength. The facilities are next to none with a well-equipped gym and various workout studios, two swimming pools and more than 40 scheduled exercise sessions, including yoga, Tai Chi, barre, dance and free weights. Golden Door's signature programme will completely transform your health in seven days.
Please note: All retreats are available for Sunday arrival only
