The Experience
Arrive. Immerse. Transform.
Golden Door is your gateway to a transformed life. Cross our threshold into an all-inclusive, personalized journey of mind, body and spirit that will revitalize and re-energize. And when the real world calls you back, you’ll leave with new balance, focus and purpose for what lies ahead.
Close your eyes. Take a breath. Golden Door is waiting for you.
Day One
“Breathe Out”
The moment you enter through the golden doors, cross the yatsuhashi inspired footbridge and release your cares at the turn, you will be nurtured, guided and transformed in our legendary, all-inclusive, 5- or 7-day body and mind program.
Day Two
“Breathe In”
Start your day with one of four guided hikes on 30 miles of private trails. Breakfast in your room awaits your return along with your schedule of fitness classes, spa treatments and mindfulness sessions. Fortunately, your closet is stocked with workout wear you'll need each day.
Day three
“Breathe Deeply”
You might have yoga, archery, boxing and a session with your personal trainer before lunch. A facial, body treatment and meditation class in the afternoon. One thing is certain, your masseuse will be waiting for you in your room at the same time every day.
Day four
“Breathe Easier”
The incredible lightness of eating pure, fresh, biointensive-farmed meals from our gardens is transforming you from the inside and doing wonders for your outsides. A cooking lesson in our kitchen and a breakfast with our nutritionist will inspire you to continue clean eating at home.
Day five
“Breathe As One”
Hikes on the mountain, Tai chi in the meadow, a guided labyrinth walk, nights of camaraderie over twilight dinners with just 39 other guests. It's all designed for reconnection - to yourself, to the bigger picture, to the joy of laughing out loud.
Day six
“Breathe Even Deeper”
Stretch yourself with TRX training, Pilates, haiku writing or some precious time with your thoughts in our bamboo forest. This evening may feature a mind-expanding guest speaker from the worlds of the arts, sciences, food, entertainment, healing and conservation.
Day seven
“Breathe Joyously”
Your last day includes either a scalp treatment or a deep conditioning,shampoo and blow dry as you prepare to step back into the world. A celebratory dinner (with wine) and a final labyrinth walk together marks a week of rejuvenation and reimagination that will inspire you to open new doors.
