Wellness Retreats

It may seem self-indulgent to take a health and wellness vacation simply to pamper yourself but growing numbers of travelers is seeing the great benefit in this idea. Relaxation is quickly becoming a lost art in our busy lives but most people are in desperate need of a health and wellness vacation for relaxation and renewal of mind, body and spirit.

Customize your wellness vacation according to your personal needs

There are as many kinds of health and wellness vacations as there are people who seek this kind of travel. You can take off for two weeks to some exotic locales or you can take a day or weekend to pamper yourself and check into a spa or retreat for massages, mud baths or spiritual awakening. Many hotels also offer wellness programs for the health-seeking traveler.

Spas and retreats offer health vacation packages and wellness programs which will teach you new yoga poses, how to meditate or help you get in touch with your creative energy. If you'd like to improve your body image, you can take a weight loss retreat, eat organic food and study nutrition or get facials and pedicures, plus all manner of more exotic procedures and treatments.

Perhaps your idea of the perfect wellness vacation is a quiet walk on a warm sandy beach at sunset . Most retreats specializing in health and wellness vacations are near tourist destinations and organizers are glad to arrange side trips for travelers to see the sights or shop.

Whatever sort of wellness package you choose, the purpose is to renew the spirit and come home relaxed and rejuvenated, ready to face the stressful world of work and the pressures of paying bills and running the kids to soccer practice.

Why a Health & Wellness vacation?

Think of a time when you were totally relaxed. Imagine the first day of vacation with two weeks stretching in front of you. How does the thought make you feel? Aren't you more relaxed just thinking of a wellness vacation?
