We believe that to truly make a change in your life, to shift direction, you owe yourself at least a week in an environment of peace, where you may relax, move, learn, be challenged, dine on great organic cuisine, enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded new and old friends, feel secure, and absorb the tranquility of nature and a healthy climate.

Rancho La Puerta -- authentic, unique, committed to the environment and a glorious life -- remains as true to its purpose as when guests such as Aldous Huxley, Kim Novak and Burt Lancaster were here in the 1950s, and as fresh and original as that first summer in 1940, when guests brought their own tents and feasted on Deborah's homegrown tomatoes and goat cheese for $17.50 a week.

Look forward to balancing your mind-body-spirit via a host of new challenges, relaxation and stretching, learning experiences, and delightful surprises!
