Wellness Travel

WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?
Choose from the great, long-established fitness and wellness spas, exquisite low-key resorts that focus on yoga and stress-reduction or destinations that are health-focused, whether traditional or holistic. You can hike, cycle, trek, clear your mind – or expand it. You can paddle, kayak and explore the wilderness, and top each day off with a massage and a delicious vegan meal. You can learn to eat and cook healthfully, take dance classes or learn a craft. And – good news – you can usually count on losing a few pounds in the process!
