There’s something powerful about stepping into this journey together. Men’s Week isn’t about competition or performance, it’s about shared effort, honest conversations, and the kind of growth that happens when you’re surrounded by people who get it.

Movement, reflection, challenge, and rest, experienced side by side. The result is transformation that feels real, lasting, and surprisingly connective.

We have two men’s weeks coming up, the weeks of March 1st and March 8th. Don’t miss it!

Experiences like our archery program are part of what set the journey here apart. Movement with meaning, focus without pressure, and growth that happens quietly.

A gentle reminder for the New Year: you don’t have to reinvent yourself, just stay open.

One of the things guests are always surprised by? Just how much variety there is when it comes to our spa experiences.

From deeply detoxifying treatments like our Desert Sea Mud massage, to restorative bodywork, skin therapies, and specialized offerings designed to meet you exactly where you are, each service is meant to support your body, calm your mind, and help you truly settle in.

Because around here, feeling good should still taste good. ✨🍐Chef ’s take on a pear-mint mocktail proves that Dry January doesn’t mean dialing back the joy. It’s bright, refreshing, a little bubbly, and exactly the kind of sip that makes you forget anything’s missing.

New year, new rhythm.

Taiko drumming is one of those experiences guests don’t always expect, and end up loving! It’s movement, music, focus, and release all wrapped into one powerful moment. You feel it in your body, your breath, and your energy. Consider this your invitation to start the year a little louder, a little braver, and a lot more connected.

Knocking on the door of a brand new year. Here’s to new beginnings, meaningful moments, and stepping into everything that feels aligned, inspired, and true.

Let the world slow down for a moment. Feel the sound wash over you. Breathe a little deeper. Release a little more.

As the year comes to a close, we use this time to reset, recenter, and gently prepare our minds and spirits for the year to come.

There’s something powerful about putting your intention into words - seeing it, holding it, honoring it. As we prepare to step into a new year, we set our intentions with clarity, compassion, and courage. New beginnings are near.

Some experiences stay with you long after you leave. Hearing our guests speak about their time here is one of the greatest affirmations of why we do what we do. We are endlessly grateful for the souls who walk through our doors, open their hearts, and trust us with their wellbeing.
