The Ranch Hudson Valley inhabits a Gilded Age mansion, an unlikely backdrop for a wellness retreat.

The Ranch Hudson Valley — Sloatsburg, New York
The original Ranch in Malibu, a longtime favorite of celebrities in search of a transformation, perfected its multi-day wellness programs for more than a decade before bringing its approach to wellbeing to the East Coast for the first time. In New York's idyllic Hudson Valley, the Ranch inhabits a stunning Gilded Age-era mansion, an unlikely backdrop for a wellness retreat. It's been reimagined with 26 elegant rooms, a 5,000-square-foot solarium with a pool and sauna, and a fitness studio in the grand ballroom, and somehow it all works. Four- to seven-day itineraries are packed with morning hikes, afternoon yoga sessions and sound baths, daily massages, and more; menus are plant-forward and daily meals are limited at 1,400 calories, but everything is flavorful, delicious, and surprisingly filling. Given the varied activities on the schedule, you'll want to pack your favorite workout sets, a few swimsuits, and a pair of hiking boots—but be sure to throw in some cozy outfits for downtime spent enjoying the game room or curling up by the fire in the great room to journal before dinner.
