Rancho La Puerta

A quintessential fitness resort and spa destination, Rancho La Puerta offers a phenomenal getaway designed to rejuvenate mind, body and spirit. This all-inclusive and re-energizing destination opened its doors in 1940 and lies just an hour south of San Diego in Tecate, Mexico. The lavish grounds feature charming, vibrant casitas with storybook appointments, windows that open up onto scenic meadows, and all are individually landscaped, in the midst of gardens surrounded by sun-filled patios. The resort's organic garden provides the fresh ingredients found in the Slow Food fare, and guests can step into the resort's teaching kitchen to learn how to prepare healthy dishes with classes taught by visiting celebrity chefs.
