Few figures have shaped the modern wellness landscape quite like Gwyneth Paltrow. Long before biohacking entered the mainstream, the Oscar-winning actress was quietly curating a life centred on conscious travel, ritualised self-care, and places that promise not just rest, but renewal. Through Goop, Paltrow has revealed a deeply personal retreat philosophy: immersive nature, intelligent luxury, and experiences that recalibrate body and mind. Below, we explore the sanctuaries she has frequented, praised, or partnered with.
Mii Amo: Sedona, Arizona, USA
If there is a spiritual home for Paltrow’s wellness worldview, Mii Amo is it. Set amid Sedona’s revered red-rock formations, Mii Amo’s power lies in its subtlety. Programmes are personalised through one-to-one journey guides, weaving together indigenous-inspired healing, mindfulness practices, and restorative bodywork. Days unfold gently—meditation at dawn, therapeutic sessions in hushed treatment rooms, contemplative walks beneath vast desert skies.

Palazzo Fiuggi: Fiuggi, Italy
For those drawn to medically informed wellness, Palazzo Fiuggi offers a more structured path to renewal. Frequently highlighted by Goop, this historic Italian retreat blends clinical diagnostics with thermal therapies and tailored nutrition. Set within a grand hilltop estate, programmes focus on longevity, detoxification, and metabolic balance—all softened by Italian elegance, restorative movement, and centuries-old healing waters. Paltrow highlighted the property as the place she’d like to see as a filming location for the next season of The White Lotus.

The Ranch Malibu: California, USA
Known for its highly structured, results-driven programmes, the retreat focuses on daily guided hikes, strength training, plant-based nutrition, and deep sleep hygiene. Frequently referenced across Goop as a gold standard for physical and mental reset, The Ranch appeals to those seeking transformation through simplicity, routine, and immersion—less indulgence, more intention, and a profound recalibration of body and mind. It’s said to be favoured by Paltrow herself, as well as other icons like Michelle Obama and Jessica Alba.

Stanglwirt: Tyrol, Austria
Set against the jagged peaks of the Wilder Kaiser mountains, this family-run bio-hotel blends alpine tradition with quietly serious wellbeing. Wellness here is lived rather than prescribed: hydrotherapy pools fed by mountain spring water, saunas scented with local woods, movement shaped by nature—from gentle hikes to cold plunges beneath open skies. It’s also a place long loved by high-profile devotees of discreet luxury; Paltrow is said to retreat here, alongside regular guests such as Jason Statham and Hillary Clinton.

Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts: Hawai‘i
On Hawai‘i’s Kohala Coast, Mauna Lani embodies a softer expression of the Goop wellness universe. The resort is home to the Goop Glow Facial and a curated Goop retail presence. Set between lava fields and the Pacific, Mauna Lani encourages a slower rhythm: open-air movement sessions, ocean swims, and skincare rituals designed to restore luminosity from within. It’s less retreat, more lifestyle reset—ideal for travellers seeking wellness woven seamlessly into luxury resort living.
