The package includes overnight accommodations in one of the resort’s enormous standard guest rooms, and begins with a choice of one of The Spa’s signature treatments like mud wrap or hot stone session that includes a soothing massage. Work up an appetite on a guided hike in the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve with an on-staff naturalist, then schedule a nutritional consultation with a holistic life coach before enjoying a quick poolside lunch.

As for the rest of your time, reserve one of the tennis courts overlooking the canyon, or call ahead to book a round of golf at the resort’s award-winning course. Consider the fine dining at the resort’s AAA five-diamond restaurant, Addison (you can even visit its wine cellar!), but hit The Spa’s gym first for any number of complimentary fitness classes including yoga, Pilates and spinning. Later, you can sweat out your toxins and troubles in the sauna and steam room before a dip in the Relaxation Pool.

All told, the “Nature Renewal” package starts at $675 per night per person, or $1000 per couple (as opposed to the normal room-only starting rate of $395 per night), so you’ve really got to commit to the regimen to get your money’s worth. The good news is that as the holidays approach and you find yourself short on free time, you don’t have to worry about a limited time frame. The package will be available until June, 2010. To book it, call the resort at (858) 314-2000.
