A Personalized Experience
We welcome you with an elbow bump, a namaste, or in what has become a new Ranch ritual—crossing our arms and patting our own shoulders “abrazos!”.

THE SPA
A Place Of Healing
Beautiful possibilities await. Our four health and beauty centers will be your sanctuaries for the week, each staffed by skilled estheticians and therapists who have been widely trained…and often cross-trained in several disciplines. Our treatments use aromatic and medicinal herbs and other healing plants grown in our organic gardens at Tres Estrellas. Their purity and freshness is a source of great pride at Rancho La Puerta. Some see our treatments as pure pleasure, but in truth they are also a valuable and therapeutic part of your balanced mind/body/spirit experience at the Ranch.

The Szekely Family and the History of the Ranch
Origins of the Ranch – Family-owned and operated since 1940
Since the beginning our motto has been Siempre Mejor! — the Professor’s favorite greeting, delivered in his booming voice. “Always Better!” still guides us every day: Rancho La Puerta has been recognized around the world since the 1950s as the progenitor of the modern fitness resort and spa movement, and has been lauded by every major travel awards program.

New Spa Director Arturo Aguilar.
Our new Spa Director Arturo Aguilar first applied for the job 20 years ago. "My feet," he says, "were not big enough for those shoes at the time. It has been my dream job ever since. Now, I’ve grown, gained more experience, and can fill those shoes. It's no coincidence that I'm here."
