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.

FOUNDER’S STORY

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.

Vegan Chocolate Mousse with Passion Fruit

Fresh from our juice bar at The Ranch comes this delicious creamy vegan chocolate mousse recipe. It’s so easy and quick to whip up that it’s a favorite for a quick treat. Chill it in the fridge and serve it after a lovely warm day’s lunch if you need a lush chocolate fix in the middle of the day. Oh! And did we mention it’s dairy-free and uses avocado for that creamy and silky texture? Buen Provecho!
