Rancho La Puerta Tecate, Mexico
|
There are many other ways of achieving honeymoon languor besides simply plopping down on the Mexican sand with a bottle of Jose Cuervo. You could, for instance, try a meditative (no talking allowed) sunrise hike amid granite boulders at the base of Mount Kuchumaa. That's just one of the restful offerings at Rancho La Puerta, an inland mind-body-spirit sanctuary located just a 90-minute drive away from San Diego. Here, you'll float among Hands on Healing workshops, Meet the Angels classes, and, of course, the ultimate indulgence of massage and loofah sessions. Thankfully, the powers that be decided that healing the spirit doesn't mean skimping on the luxe stuff. Strung along pathways aglow with acres of flowers, the Hacienda rooms will keep you toasty at night with their fireplaces or woodburning stoves and their warm Mexican palette of bougainvillea pinks, hot oranges, and banana-yellows. You'll find more in the way of color therapy on your dinner plates: Chiles rellenos and spinach-and-mushroom enchiladas created with ingredients plucked fresh from the organic garden. And while tequila may not be on the menu, every Friday night guests toast the week's end with wine or locally brewed Tecate beer. Bet you didn't expect detox to feel so intoxicating. Doubles from $4,180, including all meals and activities, for seven nights, the minimum stay, September through May; 800-443-7565 or ran cholapuerta.com. |
