The Ranch Malibu is launching its first permanent international program, The Ranch Italy at Palazzo Fiuggi Medical Retreat in May 2022. This program (starting at $9,100 per person for double occupancy) will combine The Ranch Malibu’s signature program with the services and expertise at Palazzo Fiuggi. The program is limited to 25 guests each week, and is a seven-night, eight-day stay that features a daily schedule similar to The Ranch Malibu’s signature no-options experience. Each day includes a four-hour morning mountain hike, time for a nap, afternoon strength and core training classes, yoga, and daily massage. Guests also have the opportunity to undergo diagnostic and blood testing along with a consultation with one of Palazzo Fiuggi’s physicians. The program is paired with a nutritional, plant-based menu created by Palazzo Fiuggi’s 3-star Michelin chef Heinz Beck.
Hikes will be done for time instead of distance, and afternoon fitness and restorative yoga classes will be held in a private section of the Palazzo for The Ranch’s guests. Guests will have access to the 4,300 square-foot fitness center and can also experience Fiuggi’s spa, which features a fountain connected directly Fiuggi waters and offers treatments such as hydrotherapy and Thalasso pools featuring the ancient healing waters of the area. "We are long overdue in expanding to another special location outside of California and Palazzo Fiuggi embodies our values and sensibilities in every aspect of their guest experience," says Alex Glasscock, founder and CEO of The Ranch. "It is an extraordinary, private sanctuary, with world-class fitness and spa amenities and easy access to spectacular hiking trails. There’s nothing like our program in the European market and we’re excited to introduce The Ranch’s philosophy to a new region.”
