Each program designed to promote long-term wellness from the inside out. The resort will offer Pasternak’s Baja Body Reset over three weekends this year that includes membership to a virtual community while Harper’s Sensorial Beauty Retreat will be available year-round and combines a variety of spa treatments with grounding experiences rooted in nature that help to soothe and align all five senses. “The concept of wellness, in its many forms, has always played a crucial role in the overall East Cape experience,” says Borja Manchado, general manager at the Four Seasons Los Cabos. “We are thrilled to partner with two of the industry’s leading experts to bring our guests thoughtful programming that supports comprehensive wellness so profoundly that it goes beyond just their stay with us.”
The Baja Body Reset is inspired by Pasternak’s The New York Times bestselling book, The Body Reset Diet, and is a weekend program curated and hosted by Pasternak that combines exercise with adventure, nutrition with Mexico’s rich culinary resources, and coaching with education to reset, slim down, and get healthy. The program is centered around five pillars: steps, resistance training, sleep, diet, and digital detox to kickstart a health journey that guests can continue at home.
Day one includes an hike to Sol de Mayo, exploring an desert oasis with a natural waterslide and swimming in a spring fed waterfall; learning how to make a variety of smoothies that are full of nutrients; attending a Baja bootcamp hosted by Pasternak inside the Resort’s fitness center that is tailored to the specific needs of each bootcamper; and ending the day with an sound bowl therapy session at Oasis Spa to coax the body into a deep state of relaxation to encourage a deep and restful night’s sleep. Day two includes a guided hike to the top of Flat Rock for a guided meditation on top of the East Cape nestled between the Sierra de la Laguna mountains and Sea of Cortez, learning how to make several of Pasternak Five-Factor Diet meals – five ingredient meals that take five minutes to prepare; attending a day two of Baja bootcamp targeting the bootcampers wish list areas; and a sleep-inducing massage at Oasis Spa. All guests of the program receive a reset survival kit that includes Pasternak’s latest book and other essentials such as a Fitbit Inspire 2, an herbal eye mask with heating and cooling options, Coola sun care products, local Baja aloe, bath salts, and an aromatherapy sleep mist. Pasternak, a Hyperice Performance Ambassador, will provide bootcampers with access to Hyperice’s product line including Vyper, Hypersphere Mini, NormaTec, and Hypervolt technologies for enhanced pre- and post-workout recovery and bootcampers will take home their a Hypervolt GO. As part of the program, all guests will check their phones and devices with a before the morning hikes, to be returned after bootcamp, with the option to go screen-free throughout the length of the reset. “I’m so excited to have such an amazing property as the inspirational backdrop that will help people reset their bodies and minds,” says Pasternak. “This weekend is just the beginning, we will focus on giving people the tools they need to eat, sleep and move in a way that elevates the way they feel, and the way look, so that they continue the journey at home.”

- Day one:
- Scent: The retreat begins with a guided hike to the top of nearby Flat Rock, which offers panoramic views of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and Sea of Cortez. At the peak, guests are taught multiple breathing exercises that help to set intentions for the coming days, complemented by Tata Harper’s Unwind or Invigorating Aromatherapy elixirs.
- Touch: The 90-minute Oasis Massage is a holistic care ritual used to purify, calm and stimulate the body using native techniques that combine energetic stones and local herbs to create a sense of inner stillness and equilibrium from head to toe. Tata Harper’s Rejuvenating Hand Cream finishes the treatment, restoring comfort and glow to one of the body’s most exposed areas.
