Rancho la Puerta to debut new wellness villas
Destination spa Rancho la Puerta is opening three new Villas Cielo, or ‘Heavenly Villas,’ this October. The private villas – Azul Terra and Verde – are designed with wellness and relaxation in mind, and are designed to be highly customisable.
Designed by Nicole Petersen of Petersen Design Management, the villas aim to capture the spirit of Mexico through artisan decor and Mexican-inspired art and custom furniture. Each casita is themed with its own name, colour and style: the soft blue Cielo Azul represents water, calm and stillness; the green-hued Cielo Verde represents nature and life; and Cielo Terra uses shades of warm terracotta.
“The Villas Cielo are a natural expansion of The Ranch,” said CEO Roberto Arjona. “They embody our philosophy of nourishing the mind, body, and spirit, and they fulfil our guests’ requests for casitas with more privacy and personalisation.”
Each villa features a master suite that overlooks a living room that can be transformed into a residential gym or business office. With 2,200sq ft (204.3sq m) of indoor and outdoor space, the villas include meditation cushions, indoor/outdoor speakers that play tranquil music, organic mattresses, outdoor showers, salt water dipping pools, daybeds and hammocks.
The villas are designed to be eco-friendly, and are built with local construction materials including Mexican handmade tiles and timber.
