Warning: This isn't your average vacation, ladies and gentlemen.

In between rehearsing for her upcoming stint in The Little Mermaid concert, Rebel Wilson decided to travel to the California coast for one unforgettable retreat at The Ranch in Malibu. Instead of relaxing by the beach or tanning by the pool, the actress experienced a healthy trip she may never forget.

"OMG just finished 4 fantastic days at #TheRanch4.0...so challenging but very rewarding!" she shared on Instagram from one of her hiking trails. "Not to mention I lost 8 pounds from marathon hiking over the 4 days!"

She continued, "Thanks to the amazing staff and masseuses (free daily massages are part of the program)!! Feeling great!! @theranchmalibu @fswestlake #TheRanch4.0 #theranchatliveoak."

With a little research, we've learned the wellness retreat is quite the popular destination for Hollywood's busiest stars. Busy Philipps, Selma Blair, Jesse Metcalfe, Angela Bassett and Lea Michele have all enjoyed the resort.

In fact, Minka Kelly and Mandy Moore recently had an extended girls' weekend at Live Oak Malibu. At the same time, this week-long getaway isn't exactly a walk in the park.

According to the retreat's website, the four-day version is "designed for guests desiring a jump-start to a healthier lifestyle." Visitors take part in eight hours of rigorous exercise including four hours of morning mountain hiking. Cooking demonstrations, daily massages and organic vegetarian cuisine is also offered for all guests.

We're cautioning you, though. The dietary program excludes alcohol, caffeine, soy, gluten, dairy and processed sugars. After all, the purpose is to aid in "your detoxification and revitalization process."

While all reservations require a $1,500 deposit, guests can't help but express how much they loved the experience. In fact, weight loss appears to simply be a bonus for some stars. 

"Thank you @theranchmalibu for leaving us feeling so empowered and ready to take on the world!!" Mandy shared on social media after her stay. Minka added, "Thank you @theranchmalibu for such a special, unique, detoxifying, and reenergizing experience. Also: pushing me farther than I ever thought I'd go."

A short stay with long benefits? Call us more than a little intrigued.
