Located just 45 miles southeast of San Diego, the world's first fitness resort (est. 1940) rests in the embrace of sacred Mt. Kuchumaa's foothills. In this paradise for nature lovers, walkers, and adventurous hikers, 4,000 private acres of rolling terrain afford each guest a plethora of panoramic sights, challenging trails (beginner to advanced), and an expansive feeling of freedom and well-being.
But hiking is just the beginning. A fitness program led by a team of expert instructors features more than 40 different classes per week, including yoga, HIIT, trail running, strength and conditioning, NIA, Fit Ball, and water aerobics. Pickleball and other sports are popular activities.
The Ranch's landscaping is world-renowned. Casitas nestle into a botanical palette of perennial-blooming native plants, sycamores, oak woodlands, wildflowers, and granite boulder outcrops covering almost half of a square mile. Year-round and migratory birds frequent the oasis-like grounds to the extent that Audubon Society groups consider it a birder's paradise.
The spa's organic farm provides a talented culinary staff with ample fruits and vegetables for the freshest meals possible. Its Mexican-Mediterranean cuisine has been celebrated by Gourmet magazine. The pescatarian diet is rich in low-carb, low-fat essentials that make it compatible with most popular diet regimens today, as well as an active week of exercise and relaxation. Fresh fish from the seaport town of Ensenada is a daily mainstay.
Our culinary center, La Cocina Que Canta ("The Kitchen That Sings") is a 4,500-square-foot building comprising of a large hands-on classroom/kitchen, cookbook library, and culinary gift shop -- all set in the heart of the spa's famous 6-acre organic farm "Tres Estrellas" (Three Stars). Guests can harvest their vegetables and learn how to cook healthily.
Personal services at the spa's three health centers include a wide range of massages, facials, herbal wraps, and body treatments. Evening programs feature noted speakers, authors, adventurers, physicians, and other luminaries.
