About Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa
For more than 30 years, the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa has been a top choice for health, weight loss, and relaxation. "Pritikin is where the A-list goes," wrote BusinessWeek. More than 110 studies in leading medical journals like the New England Journal of Medicine document the program's results, including long-term weight loss; lowering of blood pressure to normal, medication-free levels; diabetes reversal; and dramatic reductions in heart disease risk factors like cholesterol and triglycerides.
Surrounded by 650 acres of lush tropical gardens, waterfalls, meditative labyrinths, championship golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, and guest rooms with private balconies, Pritikin is not just a health institute; it is a paradise resort. Guests are immersed in a complete revitalization program featuring workshops on stress management, nutrition, women's health, heart health, and training in healthy cooking and restaurant dining. Fitness favorites include Pritikin's signature cardio, strength training, and core-and-stretch program. The spa features 32 treatment rooms and 100-plus body and spa treatments. Guests also enjoy delicious yet nutritious creations prepared by the institute's award-winning chefs.

Travel Information
Rooms & Dining
The Pritikin waterfront resort features 75 oversized, deluxe rooms or suites, all with a spectacular water view and balcony. Each room has amenities like plush terry cloth bathrobes, cotton slippers, and fresh orchids, and many have huge whirlpool tubs.
Nathan Pritikin created the Pritikin Eating Plan, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and spices, in the late 1950s. Unwilling to passively accept his newly diagnosed heart disease, the 41-year-old engineer studied cultures from around the world that were virtually free of heart disease and adapted their diets to American tastes. His cholesterol plummeted from almost 300 to 120, and his angina (chest pain) vanished.
Today the program Nathan Pritikin developed is used in the resort's restaurant, where guests eat all their meals. Award-winning chefs prepare a full array of sumptuous dishes. And there's no starve-yourself diet plan at Pritikin. Meals are served five to six times daily. Delectable highlights include sockeye salmon served on morel risotto, panzanella herb salad, tuna carpaccio, stone crabs, grilled filet of bison with warm onion marmalade, eggplant curry on peppersi, chocolate mousse, and Chardonnay-poached pears. Though rich in flavor, Pritikin cuisine is not calorie-rich. Many guests shed ten pounds or more in just two weeks.
