Sense-of-Place & Ambience

Malibu Campus

Ridge-top serenity – Cabins overlook 70 mi of Pacific blue.
Cactus & chaparral scent-track – Hikes weave through Backbone Trail & Zuma canyons.
Outdoor infrared spa garden – Ocean-view plunge pools switch from 38 °F to 102 °F.

Hudson Valley Campus

Rockefeller-era manor – 1902 stone lodge, pergola-covered pool.
Four-season forests – Autumn foliage hikes or snowshoe cardio.
Proximity – 2 h drive/Amtrak from NYC yet feels worlds apart.

Both sites enforce a digital sunset on arrival: phones sequestered, Wi-Fi limited to an evening check-in nook.
