It’s an auspicious day in the spa world. Today, June 23rd, Rancho La Puerta—the destination spa behind the modern American spa movement—celebrates 75 years. Founded in 1940 by Professor Edmond Bordeaux Szekely and his wife Deborah, Rancho La Puerta, located in Baja California, Mexico, has changed millions of peoples’ lives for the better over the decades. The philosophy of the Ranch is simple: to make healthy people healthier. A week at Rancho La Puerta has become a beloved and healthy tradition for thousands.
“So many guests tell me that the first time they visited was with their grandmother, and this makes me so very happy,” shares Deborah. “The Ranch has become a family fitness wellness tradition for thousands and thousands of families, and that makes me very proud.”
Siempre Mejor—Always Better—is the Ranch’s motto—and that says it all.
