Rancho de los Caballeros

The Best Resorts in the World: 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards

"Surrounded by the vast Sonoran Desert and endless skies stretching as far as the eye can see, Rancho de los Caballeros is poised as the perfect dude ranch experience. The resort is staffed by expert naturalists who are as eager to educate as they are knowledgeable and grooms who have the magic touch when it comes to pairing horses with riders—greenhorns, seasoned saddles, and everyone in between. But beyond the outdoorsy pull of the ranch, Rancho de los Caballeros encourages its guests to trade in the fast pace of everyday life for a moment and ease into a slower way of living. While younger guests learn how to ride and wrangle decoy steers at the Kids Club, older guests can explore more leisurely fun by booking hot stone massages at the Ranch Spa, or eating lunch at 19, the resort’s high-end dining concept. And there’s still more for the whole family to join in on at the lively pickleball courts and open fire cookouts where guests savor slow-cooked barbecue to the strumming of cowboy balladeers." - CNT Editors
