Wellness Isn't One-Size-Fits-All at This California Resort
Learning how to nurture yourself from the inside out is the journey of a lifetime. Routines are set, then they shift, leaving you to recalibrate over again. But what if you had a dedicated teacher to show you the way? What if you had a place that married a calming, luxurious setting with fine dining and flexible programming?
The newest Sensei resort (there's one other, in Lāna'i, Hawai'i) is exactly that. At Sensei Porcupine Creek, an adults-only oasis tucked into the foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains near Palm Springs, 230 acres of minimalist stone architecture and museum-worthy sculptures set the tone for guests to focus on their well-being. Suitable for all kinds of travelers—solo, mother-daughter duos, couples getaways—here's what a Sensei experience looks like:
A Different Kind of Wellness Plan
The wellness plan set for you at Sensei Porcupine Creek is anything but prescriptive. At the heart of the "Sensei Way" is a fully curated journey led by Sensei Guides and wellness practitioners, who apply science, data, and technology to analyze your health and help you integrate a combination of three paths—Move, Nourish, or Rest—for healthier everyday living. There are seven comprehensive packages to choose from, each complete with a set of core inclusions to cater to your goals and preferences. You can select from a choose your own adventure package complete with daily credits to use at the spa and golf and tennis facilities to holistic 5-night programs that pair you with an expert team—that best reflects your own brand of well-being. For example:
The Optimal Wellbeing program is for those inspired by data and technology, who are looking for support from an expert team of exercise physiologists, nutritionists, and mindset professionals to develop a comprehensive plan to meet their wellness goals.
The Rest & Recovery program is for those focused on slowing down, improving the quality of their sleep, and learning to manage daily stressors.
The Guided Wellness program is for those looking for a balance of structured wellness consultations and downtime for spa treatments and sporting activities.
Paving the Paths for Everyday Living
At Sensei resorts, preventative health practices are distilled to three simple practices to help you achieve your best, healthiest self: Move focuses on the way you interact with the environment and explores breath, strength, and flexibility practices. Nourish utilizes a team of culinary experts, nutritionists, and mindfulness practitioners to help you understand what fuels your body and mind. And Rest is all about unwinding, tuning into your body, and knowing how to truly restore it. Through a variety of tailored programs, the resort promises to set your route for optimal living before—and well beyond—your stay.
Relaxed Luxury
The resort hasn't spared a single detail when it comes to its wellness facilities and accommodations. The Rancho Mirage enclave features a state-of-the-art fitness area with cardio and resistance-training equipment, a yoga pavilion, a tennis center, a 75-acre golf course, and a dreamy lagoon-style pool. Unsurprisingly, its spa is as much about the setting as it is the services. Select treatment rooms open to a garden with rain showers and soaking tubs for a staggering view as you relax. One of its most exciting treatments include a four-handed massage, in which two therapists work in synchronization to help melt away even the deepest aches and pains.
At the elegant estate house, each of the 10 spacious rooms feel like the private quarters in a mansion (because they are). The property also features stand-alone villas (some of which can accommodate entire families), as well as luxe casitas with private patios and a heated soaking tub.
But perhaps the most decadent offering is the property's culinary partnership, Sensei by Nobu, helmed by world-renowned Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Think signature Nobu sushi dishes and meals, crafted with the freshest ingredients and designed for ideal health benefits—for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.
