Spa Message

Rancho La Puerta, founded by Edmond and Deborah Szekely, is the original destination fitness resort and spa — family-founded, -owned and -operated. Today's guests enjoy the very best resort spa experience, shaped by expertise developed over 65 years.

Each week, some 150 guests share 3,000 acres of mountains and meadows beneath 3,885' Mount Kuchumaa. The peak straddles the U.S.-Mexico border, and Native Americans consider its slopes and summit a sacred place — so much so that it was the first geographic feature in the U.S. to be named a National Historic Site by the Department of Interior based on spiritual significance.

A one-hour drive from San Diego, barely across the border in Tecate, Baja California, our perfect, dry (never humid) climate, balanced between sea and desert at an altitude of 1,750 feet in a cooler mountain zone, makes this the ideal location for year-round fitness activities, relaxation, and the recharging of everyone who wishes to live longer in the vigor and joy of good health.
