Spa, Baja California

Why It's Good:

This mountain hideaway on the California/Mexico border has long been the destination of choice for the world-weary, who can count on a little piece of heaven—at least for a week—in their very own private villa set amid winding pathways shaded by oleander and oaks. Enhance your self-renewal process with signature spa treatments like the Hot Riverstone Massage or Herbal Wrap.

Why It's Green:

The spa serves up ultra-fresh fare from its very own five-acre organic garden and orchard, where a special breakfast awaits guests opting for the early morning guided hike through green meadows. Birders, take note: the lush landscape attracts dozens of local birds like the Yellow Warbler, Red-Tailed Hawk, and even the occasional (rare) Golden Eagle or Great Blue Heron.
