To make your life easy we have compiled this list of the best wellness vacations for you to choose from, so that you can hit that reset button and spend time on that all-important refresh and rejuvenation.
Currently the most popular trending type of vacation is the all-inclusive active wellness retreat, offering a mixture of diet adaptation (different detox regimens), combined with fitness through physical activity like cross-fit, cycling, swimming, running, and yoga with meditation too.
These wellness fitness holidays have become peoples’ first choice, having become more and more popular over the past few years.
If you would prefer to be pampered and relax by the pool in luxury then a wellness spa retreat abroad may be just the thing for you. Wellness is the new Luxury! There are many evolving techniques for everything from healing through traditional Ayurveda spa treatments, energy balancing sleep normalization, digital detoxes and many more emerging modalities focused on anti-aging and rejuvenation of the body and spirit.
Whichever you prefer, the active options to reset your physical fitness; the healing holidays, emotional or bodily detox to aid your personal development or the relaxation-focused retreats, solo wellness travelers will be well catered for.
In fact, going to enjoy a retreat solo is the most popular way to go, giving you the time and space to nourish yourself and fully immerse in the relaxing reward cycle of participating in the programs on offer. At the same time all of the retreat centers can cater to any number of guests together.
Many of us embark on a wellness adventure at the drop of a hat (quickly), and on our own as a solo traveler, often as a reaction to daily life stresses or a significant change in our life situation. This is especially true for the cleansing detox spa retreats, offering the rejuvenating process of renewal for the mind and body, through the change in environment, diet, and activity & lifestyle changes put into place, such as the daily practice of yoga and meditation. There is nothing more typical of a rewarding solo wellness retreat for you than this.
Timing wise go whenever is right for you, whenever you feel that you are ready to explore the change of pace, place and thinking, at the time that is best for you. There are always centers up and running all year round nearly everywhere in the world. So you can always find your choice of location and venue, then simply research, book and go.
For spiritual seekers the focus is often on meditative techniques and time spent on deepening connection in this journey of self. These retreats give the opportunity to learn new types of meditation from very experienced instructors and gurus, such as guided meditation, yoga nidra, chanting, mantras and even shamanic mystical practices. These meditation retreats will nearly always include yoga with the meditation, and focus on breathing in Pranayama.
To book any one of these amazing destination spas is to make a decision to spend some well-earned time on yourself. A great decision that is sure to reap you the many benefits of going on a wellness retreat that are there to take advantage of.
If you would like to be flexible with the overall cost and make it an affordable holiday then it’s best to consider the total travel involved, the time of year of your stay, the venue and type of accommodation and the level of standard inclusions you are looking for. One great way to save is to go with a friend and take advantage of shared accommodation and affordable wellness programs. To help you out on this have a browse of all our affordable wellness retreats.
We have a huge choice of all types of awesome experiences for you to choose from, accessible to all by making sure there is a wide range of pricing and locations, to make sure there is equity for all when focusing on our well-being, from free online resources to luxurious health and wellness all-inclusive resorts, if style and comforts are your thing.
