The Ranch, the renowned luxury health and wellness brand featuring transformational structured wellness retreats, announces that both The Ranch Malibu and The Ranch Italy have been named as the #1 domestic and the #1 international destination spas in Travel + Leisure’s 2023 World’s Best Awards. Founded in 2010, The Ranch Malibu’s life transforming, results-oriented, fitness and wellness program tops the World’s Best Domestica Destination Spa category for the second year in a row, with a score of 97.18. Launched in May of 2022, The Ranch Italy at Palazzo Fiuggi makes its debut at the top spot on the list of International Destination Spas, with a score of 99.42.
“To be recognized again by Travel + Leisure’s readers and our amazing Ranch alumni, is such an honor. It’s an even greater accomplishment for our special team to hold the #1 position on not only one, but two lists this year.” says Alex and Sue Glasscock, Co-Founders of The Ranch. “We are thrilled to see The Ranch Italy receive this incredible recognition just over a year from opening. As we continue to make more offerings available and strive for greater outreach with The Ranch Vail this Fall and The Ranch Hudson Valley next Spring, this gives us yet another reason to celebrate and commemorate a memorable year.”
With a guest return rate approaching 50%, The Ranch offers a collection of restorative destinations designed to ignite the spirit, challenge the body, and cultivate meaningful connections. Through dynamic, results-driven wellness programs, guests are able to transform their physical and mental health in environments that foster inner harmony and self-discovery. Each day consists of 6 hours of low impact activity – centered around breathtaking and varied group hiking each morning, afternoon naptime, fitness classes, yoga, and daily massage. This active physical regimen is complemented by an organic, plant-based diet.
This unparalleled approach combines the power of human connection with personalized expertise in an environment designed for success. Guests depart feeling physically and mentally transformed, losing fat, pounds and inches (if one chooses), regaining mental clarity, breaking long engrained unhealthy habits and making long term lifestyle changes to improve their health all the while being supported by a dynamic group of like-minded people and forming everlasting bonds with fellow guests.
Most recently, The Ranch announced a pop-up program in Vail, Colorado this Fall. Amidst the majestic mountains, in a secluded enclave of the Vail Valley, The Ranch Vail will feature The Ranch’s signature fitness and nutrition program and will be exclusively offered at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch from September 3rd – October 27th, 2023. The Ranch is also excited to open their first east coast property, just 45 minutes outside of New York City, The Ranch Hudson Valley, in March 2024.
