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 Experience

6–8 nights · From $7,600

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.
