Inside the wealthy world of the Golden Door spa in California and how to visit during a pandemic:
When I first arrived, my insecure side was tempted to stay in and order room service, but I was so quickly and eagerly welcomed by the amazing group of men that I decided to fully embrace the experience. My dining table of four quickly grew to a group of eight every night, and if social distancing was not a factor, it would have been a long glorious table every day filled with some fantastic conversation.
While the State law limited occupancy, there were roughly 20 guests at the spa during the time I visited Among them, a few CEO’s of major companies, a few billionaires, a few entrepreneurs, and most were enthusiastically sent by their wives to get out of their confined homes.
Spa treatments are also a new experience for me, having been in lockdown since March. The skilled therapists are all masked, shielded, and gloved, and for massage treatments, guests need to wear a mask when they are face up on the table. It is an experience we will all likely get used to in the new world.One of the key elements about the Golden Door is that unlike many other resort properties that are run on a centralized AC system, at Golden Door, each room has its own AC unit.
The Golden Door was founded in 1958 by Deborah Szekely; she was married to Edmond Szekely, a renowned linguist, philosopher, psychologist, visionary, and natural-living enthusiast. Deborah and Edmond set up what would become the world’s first destination health retreat, the no-frills Rancho La Puerta, in Baja, California.
