There’s a reason everyone talks about this cup 😉 Chef ’s fresh chamomile tea is simple, thoughtful, and exactly what your body is craving this time of year. It’s warm, calming, and somehow always tastes even better knowing it started just a few steps from the kitchen.

The path to transformation isn’t always loud or dramatic. Often, it looks like this, standing quietly among the bamboo, feeling supported by something larger than yourself. A reminder that renewal is already within you.

Holiday sweetness, the Golden Door way. Our pastry team transforms the harvest into sweet creations meant to be savored slowly between conversations, after rituals, or as the perfect ending to a candlelit meal. It’s a celebration of comfort, community, and the beauty of simple pleasures. A holiday retreat as nourishing as it is delicious.

A walk through the labyrinth is never just a walk. It’s a quiet return to your center, step by intentional step.

There’s a particular kind of quiet that lives inside our guest suites. The kind that softens your breath, settles your shoulders, and reminds you that rest is not a reward, but a need.

A cozy nook, warm light, and a moment entirely your own. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to begin again.

“One massage a day…but five visits to the kitchen.” A philosophy we can all get behind 😉

As chef and remind us, nourishment here is joyful, flavorful, and a true art form - one more way we help you feel whole from the inside out.

Guests often tell us they arrive carrying the weight of a long year, and leave carrying something entirely different: clarity, softness, and the courage to begin anew.

December at Golden Door has a way of bringing you home to yourself.

Music has a way of reaching places within us that words can’t touch. During his January residency, Grammy-winning pianist Peter Kater invites you into that quiet inner space, where breath slows, emotions soften, and something true begins to rise.

If your new year is asking for more presence, more meaning, more renewal… you won’t want to miss this!

It doesn’t start in the kitchen.
It starts in the soil.

Early mornings.
Hands in the earth.

Much of what you eat here is harvested just steps away - at peak ripeness, full of life, and brought straight to the plate.

No long journeys. No shelf life to survive.
Just nourishment the way it was meant to be.

This is more than farm-to-table.
It’s soil-to-soul. 🌱

Thank you for being part of something larger than all of us 💛
