The original Ranch experience unfolds across Malibu's rugged Santa Monica Mountains, where our pioneering methodology was perfected over years of guided transformation. Here, intimate groups of guests follow our signature 6, 7, or 8-night program—the gold standard that established destination wellness as we know it. Days begin with morning stretch before 2- or 4-hour group hiking excursions through breathtaking mountain terrain, followed by strength training, restorative yoga, and daily massage. Our organic, plant-forward cuisine nourishes while unique modalities like 60-minute sound baths, infrared sauna, and cold plunge deepen the experience. Guests consistently achieve profound physical transformations, including measurable reductions in cholesterol, significant weight loss, and renewed vitality. This is where transformation science meets California luxury, creating lasting change that extends far beyond your stay.

“The Ranch was a perfect place for me to recharge and reset in a healthy way. The hiking, the food, the people, the full experience will be one I never forget. The mixture of rugged and luxury is totally unique. I am truly looking forward to going back again, as soon as possible.”
