The Ranch—a beloved wellness retreat frequented by celebrities in Malibu, California—has captivated health and wellness enthusiasts worldwide. Renowned for its meticulously curated health and wellness program, guests often lose weight and find mental clarity during their stay as they fully immerse themselves in a healthy lifestyle with zero distractions.
One of the reasons The Ranch Malibu’s popularity has exploded is thanks to TikTok. Former guests have turned to the social media platform to give viewers a glimpse into the physically taxing experience, which famously includes rigorous and lengthy hikes. The retreat’s allure is compounded by the fact that it boasts a star-studded roster of alumni, include Rebel Wilson, Mandy Moore, and Michelle Obama, among others.
Now, 14 years since The Ranch Malibu was founded, it has officially opened a second location in lower Hudson Valley, New York, less than an hour away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Similar to the original location, The Ranch promises a daily schedule that’s chock-full of demanding workouts, wellness activities, and healthy food, namely a two- or four-hour morning hike, strength training, yoga or meditation, a massage, and an organic, plant-based seasonal menu.
According to The Ranch’s daily itinerary, guests do still have some control over their daily schedules. During free time, you can enjoy activities such as taking a dip into a cold plunge, playing in the game room, swimming in the outdoor pool, or unwinding in the jacuzzi, among other activities. During the warmer months, you can even paddleboard, kayak, or swim in the onsite lake.
There are a few caveats to ensure you’re getting the deepest connection with nature possible. Most notably, televisions are intentionally absent from private rooms. While electronic devices are allowed, The Ranch encourages using them sparingly, and asks guests to restrict their cell phone usage.
The Ranch Hudson Valley takes up 200 forested acres and boasts a rich history. The estate once belonged to J.P. Morgan, who gifted it to his daughter in 1904, per a press release shared with NewBeauty. With just 25 cozy guest rooms, the resort fosters a sense of community and tranquility, the essence of which was perfectly captured in dreamy photographs of the estate.
Guests visiting the Hudson Valley location have the option to choose between a three-night/four-day or four-night/five-day stay. Prices begin at $2,575 per person and vary depending on the season. The Ranch’s comprehensive package includes all the previously mentioned activities, along with a body composition analysis, evening nutrition and wellness discussions, cooking demonstrations, laundry services, and a return transfer to Newark airport.
“We are delighted to embark on this new chapter for The Ranch,” said Alex Glasscock, cofounder and CEO of The Ranch. “There has been an incredible demand for us to come to the East Coast and the shorter program options have already attracted new guests looking to support their health, along with corporate groups.
The restorative beauty of the region offers the perfect setting for one to reconnect with nature and rediscover a zest for life while connecting with others through our trusted wellness practices.”
