The Ranch Malibu is an intensive, results-oriented wellness retreat in the Santa Monica Mountains delivering structured lifestyle reset programs focused on movement, recovery, and nutrient-dense cuisine. Small cohorts (around 25 participants) follow a tightly designed daily schedule of multi-hour guided hiking, strength training, restorative yoga or meditation, and a daily deep tissue massage. Nutritional protocols emphasize an organic, plant-forward diet to aid detoxification and metabolic health, with optional enhancements including IV therapy, colon hydrotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and energy-based modalities. Objective measures include Bod Pod body composition analysis, and guests frequently report measurable improvements such as reduced cholesterol and increased strength and vitality. The multidisciplinary team—exercise physiologists, nutritionists, and mindfulness practitioners—apply a consistent methodology to build sustainable health habits in a digitally minimal environment (no TVs; limited Wi‑Fi in cottages).
The property
The Ranch method
The Ranch delivers an intensive, results-oriented lifestyle reset built on movement, recovery and nutrient-dense food, followed in small groups within a tightly designed daily schedule. Days combine multi-hour guided hikes, strength and core training, restorative yoga and a daily therapeutic massage, in a deliberately distraction-free, digitally minimal environment.
Objective measures such as Bod Pod body composition analysis track progress, and optional enhancements including IV therapy, colon hydrotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care and energy-based modalities individualise recovery. A multidisciplinary team of exercise physiologists, nutritionists and mindfulness practitioners applies a consistent methodology to build habits that last, with guests frequently reporting measurable gains such as lower cholesterol and greater strength and vitality.
Food and diet
Meals are organic and plant-forward, nutrient-dense and designed to support detoxification and metabolic health, complementing the physical programme rather than competing with it.
Facilities and setting
The Ranch Malibu is set in the Santa Monica Mountains, hosting small cohorts of around 25 guests in a serene, digitally minimal setting with no televisions and limited Wi-Fi in the cottages, so the focus stays entirely on the reset.

The Ranch Malibu’s signature Experience is a structured, high‑intensity wellness retreat combining multi‑hour guided hiking, targeted strength training, restorative yoga or meditation, and a daily deep tissue massage. The nutrition protocol centers on organic, plant‑forward, detox‑supportive cuisine designed to recalibrate metabolism and energy. Objective assessment includes Bod Pod body composition analysis, with optional add‑ons such as cholesterol testing, IV therapy, colon hydrotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and energy healing. Cohorts are intentionally small to deliver focused coaching and measurable outcomes, including improved cardiometabolic markers, reduced cholesterol, and enhanced strength, endurance, and mental clarity.

The Ranch 9.0
8 nights · From $9,500
The Ranch 9.0 extends the signature Malibu program to eight nights, bookending the week with two decision-free days that ease you in and lock in results. You arrive on Saturday — a day ahead of the standard Sunday start — for diagnostic testing, an afternoon fitness class, yoga, and dinner. After completing the full weeklong program, you stay a final Saturday night to soften re-entry, with a seventh morning hike, an afternoon massage, fitness class, yoga, and dinner before departing Sunday. The extra days mean seven guided hikes in total, more massages, and more time for your body to adapt — a gentler on-ramp and a more durable metabolic reset than the six-night stay.
Every element of the core program is included: daily guided hiking, low-impact strength and core work, restorative yoga or meditation, daily deep-tissue massage, Bod Pod body-composition analysis, and organic, plant-forward detox cuisine. The Ranch 9.0 can also be booked privately for groups of one to four traveling together, with hikes, fitness classes, and meals in spaces dedicated to your group.
