CASTING CALL
During New Zealand’s two-year pandemic pause, fish spawned unpressured in Kiwi streams. With the country’s reopening, the 23-suite Farm at Cape Kidnappers in Hawke’s Bay on the North Island and its Robertson Lodges’ sibling, the South Island’s 16-room Matakauri Lodge in Queenstown, have introduced heli-fishing. Anglers are whisked over mountains to remote riverbanks to cast for abundant brown and rainbow trout. Doubles from $510 per person at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers and from $755 per person at Matakauri, including breakfast daily and a $100 resort credit. Heli-fishing from $2,500.
Pool time at Palazzo Fiuggi and (below) summer in the San Juans.
ITALIAN TUNE-UP
California’s Ranch Malibu has introduced new eight-day, 25-person programs in hot-springsfamed Fiuggi, 50 minutes from Rome. Powered by vegan meals, days at The Ranch Italy at Palazzo Fiuggi Medical Retreat begin with four-hour hikes in the Apennines, followed by strength classes, yoga, and massages. Diagnostic and blood tests with resident doctors at the fresco-filled art nouveau wellness resort are optional. But it’s a dolce vita mandate to visit the ancient Roman spa in the old quarter, where centuries of popes, royals, and Renaissance masters, including Michelangelo, bathed in the healing waters. Retreats from $9,100 per person, including breakfast daily and a $100 resort credit.

Retreats from $10,000 per person, including breakfast daily and a $100 resort credit.
