10 Idyllic Destinations for Your Next Wellness Retreat

Is it time to hit the brakes and step off the racetrack called life for a little while? Would you like a weekend getaway or something a little more lasting? All across the globe, there are various spas and wellness retreats just waiting to welcome you home – whether you call it home for four days or 30. Below, we’ve outlined ten of the best in the biz. We’re certain that, by the time you leave, everything will feel just a little bit lighter. 

Mii Amo | Sedona, Arizona

The name alone is a selling point, right? If you’re dreaming of a wellness retreat that includes a luxury hotel with panoramic views of the desert, this is your dream spot. 

When you’re here, the staff will look after your physical and spiritual. Some of their treatments include ancestral stone massages, chakra balancing, lymphatic drainage, reiki, and past life regression. 

SHA Wellness Clinic | Alicante, Spain

Are you looking for something a little more large-scale? Then, let’s board a plane to Spain. Here at SHA Wellness, their health programs are varied and can last anywhere from four to 21 days. 

They have a great comparison tool on their website to help you make the most informed decision. You can start with their focus areas: stress relief, weight-control and detox, or rejuvenation. Once you make a decision, your program cost includes room and board, and you can choose from a range of lovely suites and residences. 

The Ritz-Carlton | Amelia Island, Florida

At one of the most northeasterly points of Florida, right before you hit Georgia, you can cross a bridge to paradise. On Amelia Island, you’ll find the crème de la crème in The Ritz-Carlton. Just your room or suite, alone, will knock your socks off. 

But, wait ‘til you see their newly redesigned 25,000-square-foot spa. Overlooking the ocean, you can indulge in a number of different facials, massages, CBD-infused treatments, and hair and nail services. And, when you’re through with those, you can also ask about their ancient therapies like Yoga Nidra to soothe your soul beside the sounds of the sea. 

Chiva-Som | Hua Hin, Thailand

Can you imagine tucking yourself into the forests of Thailand for a whole-body reset? Unlike most wellness resorts, the retreats at Chiva-Som seem to be fully inclusive. 

You can enjoy a wide range of treatments and therapies, health and wellness consultations, complimentary skin analyses, unlimited use of the steam room, sauna, and Jacuzzi, as well as daily spa treatments. If the setting alone doesn’t heal you, their well-qualified team of practitioners will.
