Here are the times of year for the most popular destinations.

A.The summer months in the Northern Hemisphere (EUROPE and UNITED STATES), are vibrant with retreats of all types, ranging from wellness programs of yoga and meditation, surfing and hiking, to detox cleansing and healing, and much more…

This is also the go-to time of year to visit BALI ISLAND OF RETREAT GODS. This is a mecca for luxury centers, resorts and hotels all offering relaxing and rejuvenating stays; it is a hub for yoga studios, health food cafes, plus practitioners and workshops in many different disciplines and practices, especially in Ubud in the green rainforest center of the island, and the beach village of Canggu, with it’s wide surfing beach and beautiful sunsets.

If you don’t really have the time to travel you can go domestic wherever you are, there are plenty of experiences to seek out in the US and the other side of the Atlantic there is ENGLAND and a great variety of wellness getaways all over the continent, like those to be found in enchanting PORTUGAL, or the diverse landscapes and islands of SPAIN and the many regions of ITALY.

B.The first 3 months of the year are peak and high season in Asia and the tropics all over the world. So this makes it a great time of year to visit if you are seeking out hot, dry weather to go with your time away.

It is also one of the busiest times of year so be prepared for crowds and higher priced travel and accommodation options in the busiest places like wild COSTA RICA and sunny MEXICO; and on the other side of the world in 

INSPIRING INDIA – The driest time in Goa and Kerala in the South, although the season extends up to May when the monsoons come through, until it is busy again at the end of the year; it is also busy at this time in the North of India but can be chill too! Not too far away is SRI LANKA with similar visitor months along it’s southern coastline.

AMAZING THAILAND – these busy months bring crowds of wellness travelers searching out the appealing beauty of the tropical islands in the south, like Phuket and those found on Koh Samui and on Koh Phangan (which are probably a collection of the best retreat islands in the world). Especially prevalent here are the vast array of wellness fitness retreats, where people devote their time to scheduled activity plans that include a range of physical challenges like swimming, running, cycling and even the national sport of Muay Thai (Thai Boxing).

All and anything is possible and available to you, so there is no need to limit your expectations and desires here – seek out that wellness trip on a retreat holiday that you have always wanted and dreamed of, it can only happen if you make the decision to let it happen.

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 retreats, 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 packages, 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 retreat 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.

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.

Make the most of it and enjoy this opportunity to it’s fullest potential. We wish you the very best of luck on your journey of self-discovery.
