The Ranch at Palazzo Fiuggi
Italy
The original branch of cult fitness retreat The Ranch is in Malibu, California — and it’s a celeb magnet, drawing the likes of Nicole Scherzinger and Selma Blair. The newer Italian outpost is at the secluded hilltop Palazzo Fiuggi, near Rome, but maintains the same breed of expert - and tech-led - wellbeing programming. Start the day with a four-hour hike, then build to afternoon strength and core training. Chilled yoga sessions, daily massage and guilt-free nap times are added perks.
Go for: an A- list-worthy fitness kickstart.

BXR London Retreat at Daios Cove
Crete, Greece
Daios Cove is best known as a family-friendly resort hotel, but this northern Crete gem is also a destination for the wellness set. The recently refurbed, light-flooded spa is home to a shiny new BXR London training gym, complete with indoor-outdoor workout area and state-of-the-art kit. Regular dedicated retreats (the next are May 11-17 and 18-24) focus on 360-degree conditioning and sharpening your mental agility.
Go for: toning up under the sun
