The Ranch Malibu
Malibu, California · United States — Est. 2010, Santa Monica Mountains
America's definitive fitness boot camp — 200 acres in the mountains above Malibu, four-hour sunrise hikes, plant-based plates, a daily massage you have earned, and no negotiating with the schedule.
From before this ledger began — sunrise hikes until our legs filed formal complaints, and the deepest sleep of the decade. We still talk about it.My verdict · visited
