"Located on 4,000 acres near the U.S. border, this longtime wellness destination (open since 1940) follows its founders' mission of a sane, balanced program of living: the spa offers holistic therapies like acupuncture, Reiki, and WATSU plus massages, facials, and wraps—many treatments use herbs grown on-site—while facilities include hot tubs, sauna, steam room, relaxation lounge, and cold immersion; physical exertion is central with daily hikes, running, kickboxing, cycling, salsa, and yoga, and guests stay in 86 casitas decorated with vibrant Mexican textiles and terra-cotta tile floors." - CNT Editors

Set across more than 150 acres of gardens, olive groves and trails, the property supports a classic week-long immersive routine alongside renovated accommodations and private villas." - Devorah Lev-Tov
