Acclaimed 7-day health and wellness retreat tops the list of World and U.S. Destination Spa Resorts in annual awards that drew in more than 715,000 travelers
Malibu, CA (October 6, 2020) – Today, Condé Nast Traveler announced The Ranch Malibu as #1 in the Destination Spa Resort in the World and U.S. in its annual Readers’ Choice Awards. Founded in 2010, The Ranch’s weeklong, results-oriented, immersive fitness and wellness program is limited to just 19 guests each week and has been included in these annual awards since 2016, topping the list for the first time this year.
“We are honored to receive this award! There has never been a greater focus on health and a better time to get healthy” said Alex and Sue Glasscock, Co-Founders of The Ranch. “To be recognized by our alumni and Condé Nast Traveler readers in the same month that we will be celebrating our 10-year anniversary gives us so much to be grateful for in this memorable year.”
With over a 50% return rate, The Ranch is trusted by guests to deliver results, recalibrating the mind and body through an intense fitness and wellness regimen paired with a highly structured, plant-based nutritional diet. Each day consists of 8 hours of low impact activity – centered around a breathtaking and varied 4-hour group hike each morning – afternoon nap time, fitness classes, yoga and daily massage. This intense physical regimen is complemented by a 1,400 calorie-a-day, organic and nutritious vegan diet. Guests depart feeling physically and mentally transformed, losing pounds and inches, regaining mental clarity, breaking long engrained unhealthy habits and making long term lifestyle changes to improve their health.
Most recently, The Ranch developed a new offering, The Ranch Private, to allow guests the ability to customize the signature weeklong program at a distance from the other guests on property. Whether traveling solo or in a group of up to four, The Ranch Private is tailored to meet a guest’s specific needs, increasing intensity or addressing any restrictions that may limit their ability to participate in the group-based programs. In The Ranch Private, all elements of The Ranch program including hiking, meals and fitness classes take place separate from the larger group and in secluded spaces should guests wish to avoid common areas.
The Ranch Malibu is offered at a rate of $7,800/person and The Ranch Private is offered at a rate of $10,000/person. Both programs include six nights and seven days (Sunday-Saturday). For more information please visit https://theranchmalibu.com.
