Rancho La Puerta, founded in 1940 by Edmond and Deborah Szekely at the base of Mount Kuchumma near Tecate, is widely credited as the progenitor of the modern fitness resort and destination spa.
Its 86 casitas sit within a 4,000-acre nature preserve that includes 40 miles of hiking trails, organic gardens and a cooking school, La Cocina Que Canta. The all-inclusive week revolves around guided hikes, fitness and yoga classes and a Mexican-Mediterranean, largely vegetarian kitchen, a format the resort was practising decades before wellness travel became an industry.
Known for: ecotourism, local immersion, wellness.
