In 1978, Mel Zuckerman had an A-ha experience that changed his life and sparked the creation of Canyon Ranch. Overweight and dealing with various health problems, Mel had gone to a California spa for help. His A-ha moment came when he realized how great he could feel by staying active, eating right, and living healthfully. His wife, Enid, was already a health enthusiast, and the couple soon made a commitment to build Canyon Ranch--a haven for wellness and 'living younger longer.'
The first Canyon Ranch opened in 1979, in the dazzling Sonoran Desert. It has since become a world-renowned oasis of health, joy and vitality. Indeed, Canyon Ranch has defined all that a destination spa can be. Today the sprawling campus with its low-lying adobe buildings can accommodate about 250 guests.
The Zuckermans goal is to inspire each guest to make a long-term commitment to healthy living and to provide the practical tools to do so. People from all walks of life, ages 18 to 80, flock to Canyon Ranch to take control of their lives or simply to relax. Canyon Ranch is distinguished by its unsurpassed team of wellness professionals including physicians, nurses, complementary health practitioners, nutritionists, exercise physiologists, and more. A stay at Canyon Ranch is an ideal opportunity to fully explore your health potential in a comfortable and unhurried environment. Have your annual physical or explore a concern such as optimal aging, bone density, sleep problems, menopause, and sexuality or heart health - all of this while enjoying an unforgettable vacation. Whatever your interests, the opportunities are abundant. You might start a fitness program, ride a bike again, have great massages, explore your spirituality, try a cooking class, hike a canyon trail, or simply relax.
