Wellness Getaways

Ever feel like you need a vacation from your vacation? That’s because often when we choose to take a vacation, we spend a majority of it stressing over what we’re doing next, partying too much, overeating, or forgetting to actually relax.

With more people prioritizing their health than ever before, traveling is also starting to become a health-focused experience centered on elevating wellness. Whether it’s a short train ride or across the country, there are endless ways to experience new places while keeping your health intact. From health retreats to wellness hotels, there are destinations around the world that highlight self-care to help you slow down, chill out, and feel good. With options like on-site yoga, morning meditation, organic food menus, and a variety of spa treatments, there’s no reason to fall off your health routine while away from home. So rather than coming back from a vacation exhausted and burnt out, you’ll feel refreshed, energized, and ready to take on life.

Here are some of our favorite getaway spots that will inspire you to boost your mind, body, and soul:

Sedona, Arizona
Sedona is a hot spot for healthy getaways not just because of the natural beauty of the red rock landscape, but also as a spiritual mecca with some of the most well-known healers, guides, and centers in the United States. You’ll leave here feeling connected to nature, in touch with your spiritual side, and bursting with newfound energy.

Costa Rica
¡Pura Vida!, or its translation, “pure life,” is more than just a saying in Costa Rica; it’s a way of life. This phrase represents Costa Rica’s cultural way of valuing the important things in life and showing appreciation for the basic necessities. With world-class yoga, clear waters, and ample sunshine, there’s no wonder it’s become a top destination for anyone looking to disconnect and revitalize.

If you’re looking to unwind and reset, a must-stay in Nicaragua is the Apoyo Lodge. This 100% vegan boutique hotel and private retreat space run by Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Miriam Rodriguez Marquez offers plant-based foods, lakefront rooms, and health coaching services. The stunning landscape and calm, clean water make it an incredible destination both visually and mentally.
