What is Wellness Travel?
Wellness travel promotes your health and wellbeing, both physical and mental, through activities that you do during your trip. The goal is to check out feeling healthier and better than when you checked in!
With the growing trend for staying healthy when you travel, you can make your entire trip an adventure to feeling better in both body and mind.
If wellness travel makes you think of spartan facilities and strict bland diets then you’ll be happy to know that things have come a long way. There are plenty of wellness retreats in five-star accommodation and options for as little or as many restrictions on your diet as you like.
Whatever your health and fitness goals, it’s likely there’s a wellness holiday out there for you.
What benefits does wellness travel have for you?
Vacations are often an exercise in overindulgence, which can lead to feelings of guilt when we return home. How good would it feel to enjoy what a new destination has to offer, without the negative consequences? That’s what wellness travel is all about; reenergizing, rejuvenating and finding balance.
A wellness trip might include eating and culinary events to tantalize your taste buds, but it will likely also involve physical activities like hiking, paddle boarding, yoga, surfing, or even running.
You might learn about new, healthier food and recipes that you’ll take away with you, or be inspired in new ways by group outings.
While wellness travel could help with weight loss, it’s not the primary focus. Stress reduction and your overall physical and mental wellbeing are what’s important, and any weight loss benefits are a bonus!
Where can you find wellness trips?
Planning a wellness vacation is as easy as signing up for a group trip, or it can be done on your own if you make the commitment.

Think about wellness travel as a pause in your everyday life, that’s more than the average vacation. It should be a trip that has all the elements of a break that you’ll enjoy, but in a way that won’t have you going home feeling exhausted and in need of a second holiday.
