HIKER’S PEACEFUL PARADISE
Drive just an hour and a half south of San Diego to find Rancho La Puerta, which boasts 3,000 acres of pristine land on Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. A combination of mountains, meadows, and beautiful gardens, this fitness-focused resort is also home to La Cocina Que Canta cooking school, where guests can take classes in gourmet vegetarian cuisine. With inclusive rates, private casitas, and group-orientated classes (the early-morning hikes can be rigorous but are not to be missed), it’s an ideal spot to get away with friends for a weekend – or a week. For a more intensive physical reset, book appointments with an on-staff acupuncturist or chiropractor. The full-service spa offers everything from repairing facials to candle-oil massages, which combine hot stones, body wraps, and aromatherapy. www.rancholapuerta.com
