About Rancho La Puerta
When Rancho La Puerta was created in 1940, two grand oak trees met at the center of the property, forming the door-like archway that gave this destination spa its name. One of these trees still stands, surrounded by 3,000 acres of lush gardens, swimming pools, and cozy casitas, all watched over by mystical Mt. Kuchumaa. Located only 45 miles southeast of San Diego, just over the border into Mexico, the weather at this resort is always spectacular--warm and dry--so every week is the perfect week to visit. Rates here include all lodging, activities, meals, classes, programs, and scheduled transportation. Only spa services are optional extras.Location

Rancho La Puerta announces two new action-packed 2012 “summer camp” family weeksthat parents and children will find unforgettable …and are also perfect for guests without children
Rancho La Puerta, world-renowned fitness resort and spa in Baja California, announces two dedicated family weeks this summer aimed at giving parents and their children one of the most memorable and playful vacations of their lives. The wellness resort has organized its family weeks (August 4-11, 2012 and August 11-18, 2012 only) to allow quality time for families to do activities together, as well as time each day to pursue individual interests. The announcement heralds the return of a summer tradition that was once a regular event at the Ranch.
Summer Family Weeks will accommodate children seven years of age and older. The daily program will be tailored to four age groups: 7-11, 11-14, 14-17, and adults. Parents can join their children in many programs, or opt to partake of the Ranch’s usual complete selection of adults-only classes. Meals will be “family time,” and plenty of other free time has been planned for families to explore, rest, swim, and have new experiences together. In addition, guests 14 and older can participate in all “adults-only” fitness classes in the regular program, from mountain hiking to Pilates, cardio boxing to circuit training.
Rates for family weeks (August 4-11, 2012 and August 11-18, 2012 only) are $3,000 per person for adults and $500 per child from 7-17 (up to two children – this is a 50% discount off each child) plus tax. Even if guests are not bringing children, these great weeks offer an especially complete Ranch experience at a special low rate.
For more information and to make a reservation, please call 800-443-7565.
