Breaking up is hard—booking a dreamy hotel stay to help bounce back? That part’s easy. Whether it’s a long marriage ending up in divorce or a situationship that went sideways, nothing says “fresh start” like room service, a plush robe, and zero (emotional) baggage–except the kind that fits in the overhead bin.
More hotels are tuning into the fact that healing deserves a beautiful backdrop. These aren’t just places to sleep—they’re sanctuaries designed to help guests reboot, recharge, and rediscover their spark. From spa retreats that specialize in recharging your soul to wellness resorts that practically hand you a new life plan with your green juice, these hotels are made for reclaiming joy. Because when one door closes, another opens—preferably a door to a suite with an ocean view and killer pillow menu.
The Ranch Malibu
Situated in the Santa Monica Mountains, The Ranch Malibu is all about helping guests hit restart, refresh, and renew. With just 21 cottages featuring wood floors, cozy king beds, and spa-like limestone bathrooms, the vibe is rustic-meets-refined. The amenities don’t skimp either: think plant-based meals that somehow manage to be both clean and crave-worthy, daily hikes and massages, and a heated pool that begs for a post-workout float. Add in an infrared sauna, organic garden, and the kind of schedule that gets the body moving and the mind to relax, and it’s the ultimate wellness escape. For those fresh out of a breakup, this is the place to be since it’s all about disconnecting from electronic devices and tuning in with yourself.
