• Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico

Located in Tecate Mexico just over the border from San Diego, Rancho La Puerta is one of the best value spas in the world.  Transfers from San Diego are taken care of by the spa and once you arrive you feel at home.  An amazing program of fitness activities, healthful cuisine, luxury spa amenities, superb accommodations, and entertainment awaits you.  The 3,000-acre property offers world-class landscaped gardens, an organic farm, internationally known cooking school, and mountainsides and meadows of great hiking and walking experiences. This health resort aims to help you develop a lifetime of healthy habits.

This is a nature preserve that preserves people! The year-round climate, poised as we are in the mountains between sea and desert, is nearly perfect, with sunshine over 325 days a year. It’s even better than San Diego’s, because they don’t get coastal fog.  Amazing packages are available.  This truly is the best value spa in North America.  Tom recommends this highly for R & R or a retreat.  Do not expect the Four Seasons and lots of frills.  It is a good solid spa that has been around for 70 years. The Rancho is not a Virtuoso property but it is still a great value for your vacation/spa dollar!
