Rancho La Puerta, the original fitness resort and spa in North America, offers 4,000 private acres of gardens, mountains and meadows.

All facilities and the huge park-like setting of mountains and meadows are for the exclusive use of its guests, who come for the weeklong fitness and activities programme.

Most guests arrive and depart on Saturdays only, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie.

Rancho La Puerta is located at the juncture of the Laguna and Sierra Juarez mountain ranges about 25 miles from the Pacific Ocean at an elevation of 1,700 feet.

Guests enjoy inclusive rates that cover all accommodations, fitness classes, gourmet organic meals, activities and presentations.

Spa treatments, personal training sessions and cooking classes at the new cooking school, La Cocina Que Canta, are available.

The cuisine is semi-vegetarian, featuring organic fruits and vegetables, much of it from the resort's own six-acre organic farm
