The Wellness Sojourn is for guests who want luxury restoration without committing to a structured program. The mountain, the food, the yoga, the stillness of the place — for most, that is exactly what they came for.

The RicaReset Transformation · What you leave with

Luxury that finally feels like recovery.

Most luxury hotels give you a beautiful room and let you figure out the rest. The Wellness Sojourn assumes the work of being restored is already handled — so you can show up, exhale, and let the days do something to you.

01 / 04
Before

Vacations that leave you needing a vacation.

After

A stay that actually restores you.

Twice-daily yoga, three farm-to-table meals, sound baths, mountain hikes — none of it is optional add-on pricing. It's just what the stay is. You arrive and stop deciding.

02 / 04
Before

Cortisol-soaked mornings, doomscroll-soaked nights.

After

A daily rhythm your body remembers.

Sunrise yoga, slow mornings, intentional afternoons. Within forty-eight hours, your body locks into a rhythm it has been waiting years to find again.

03 / 04
Before

Eating around your life instead of for it.

After

Food that quietly heals you.

Chef-prepared, anti-inflammatory, grown on the property. You'll notice the difference in your skin, your sleep, and your appetite for the things that were hurting you.

04 / 04
Before

A trip you booked but never quite arrived inside.

After

Real presence — for as many days as you choose to stay.

Three days, ten days, longer. The program is the place. Most guests extend before they leave.

"The mountain, the food, the yoga, the stillness — for most, that is exactly what they came for."
