In Pursuit of Wellness: The Popularity of Yoga and Spa Retreats

What a difference a few decades can make in the way we behave, the way we eat, the way we travel. Isn’t it extraordinary how popular wellness retreats and yoga weekend getaways have become? No longer simply a fad or niche, they are in fact the fastest growing tourist sector.



Whether it’s an exciting cycling excursion in Northern Spain or a Wholeness Resort in Sedona, more and more people are taking fresh perspectives when they travel. The novelty of going abroad is now in the added value factors. In breathtaking foreign locals, travelers are getting back to basics, breaking away from their comfort zones and cutting loose from the stresses of modern living.

In French chateaus and Austrian manors, in Turkish yachts and Alpine cottages, weekend yoga getaways are the optimum form of total body detox.  What counts now when we holiday is making every moment count; being present, savoring every location and appreciating every last breath of air on a remote mountain peak. Being at peace with your body, and with the landscape, watching the bright orange sun sink over Southern Thailand, your muscles and joints stretching into eternity along the soft silky beach.



From the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, from the Carpathian Mountains of Romania to the white sands of Aruba, you will find meaning and replenishment in the wellness retreats of the world. Recharge your batteries. Take time out. Travel with more than a destination in mind. Travel with a purpose.
