Canyon Ranch Celebrates 35th Anniversary in 2014
It was a radical idea at the time - an integrative health, fitness and wellness-focused resort? No such thing existed. Little did they know their great idea would influence the evolution of the spa and wellness industry.

"In the beginning, I couldn't have imagined all Canyon Ranch would become," says Mel. "Our dream gave birth to new dreams, and the Ranch has evolved into a healthy experience like no other."

Over the last 35 years Canyon Ranch has come a long way - and so has the concept of health and wellness. Actively taking responsibility for one's health and longevity is now widely held to be a virtue. Canyon Ranch helped foster this sweeping change in attitude and behavior, and at the same time, we've drawn strength from it, expanding our offerings and properties in different directions as our guests have asked for more.

According to Mel, "our mission is to encourage people to become active, informed participants in their health care because wellness is largely based on everyday lifestyle choices about nutrition, stress management, preventive care and staying fit. What has sustained Canyon Ranch for 35 years, and will take us on into the future, is that we have remained true to the mission that got us here. Our commitment has allowed Canyon Ranch to set, and remain, the standard for what has become a very large spa, health and wellness industry. And that commitment has positively influenced so many lives."
