Take A Break From Winter
If you’re fortunate to have a job and some vacation time, now is the ideal time to take advantage of great travel specials. The recession has hit the travel industry hard, so you can do your part for the economy while you enjoy a week at a spa!
Our choice for this time of year is Rancho La Puerta, in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico. Rates include all meals, guided hikes and walks through incredible scenery, fitness classes, use of the fitness facilities, evening programs, lectures, and scheduled transportation to/from the San Diego International Airport on Saturdays. Of course, if you can possibly drive to the Spa and avoid the hassle at the airport, that may be a good choice. Other Spa services are a la carte.
Rancho La Puerta was founded in 1940 and the owners have always been conscious of the benefits of fresh, natural food, much of it from their own organic farm. Rancho La Puerta is especially proud of its 70-year commitment to the health of our natural world, and the Spa participates in an impressive array of “green” activities.
The Cuisine is vegetarian, with a fresh fish dinner option. The climate is mild, with temperatures now averaging mid-fifties. There may be an occasional frost at night. There are various levels of accomodations starting with the ramcheras which are studio bedrooms with a private patio. Some of the rancheras have fireplaces, so be sure to request one if you go now.
The Spa offers a wide range of health and beauty treatments, and you can purchase a package that offers your choice of services at a savings. Consider purchasing the Ultimate Spa Passport – unlimited services for $769.
If the Spa isn’t in your budget now, consider a short trip to the Palm Beaches in Florida. Many of the hotels there are offering a special – spend 2 nights at regular rates, and the 3rd night is $19.09.
