"Built around a rigorous seven-day program of early wake-ups, 6 a.m. yoga, extensive morning hiking, afternoon gym time, and a near-vegan meal plan, this tough-love retreat attracts type-A guests seeking a yearly wellness tune-up; guides are supportive, lodgings are sublimely comfortable, daily massages are offered, and the pared-down, beautifully presented organic food complements the intense regimen." - CNT Editors

"Famous for organic vegan cuisine, luxury cottage accommodations, and its signature weeklong retreat called The Ranch, this Malibu program structures each day around movement and recovery: early morning stretches, breakfast, up to four hours of group hiking along the coast, then lunch, rest, strength training and yoga, and a daily massage. Guests can also lounge by the pool, use the infrared sauna or cold plunge, or relax in common areas. As noted by travel advisor Tiffany Kulkarni, "Everything is taken care of here for you, so all you have to do is enjoy the daily exercise, amazing food, and relaxation." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
