Wellness has transitioned from that trendy buzz word we use to describe a visit to the spa or annual check-up at the doctor. For many, wellness has become a lifestyle, playing a critical role in the holistic management of diet, fitness, and stress, incorporated at work, at play, and at home. With that in mind, vacation is no longer an escape from those routines but an ideal opportunity to take those wellness pursuits to the next level of self-care. How does that look while on vacation? Here are several destinations who have mastered the concept of well-being, seamlessly integrated to create novel experiences that excite and designed for complete enjoyment.

Customization and personalization are high on the list for today’s travelers. Designing self-care experiences that are individualistic, enjoyable and memorable check off all the boxes.

It’s been said that prevention is better than cure, so activities and treatments at resorts designed to promote good health and well-being are paramount for those seeking a good dose of wellness. Many resorts offer mindfulness, meditation, farm-to-table whole foods locally and organically grown, menus that offer dietary restrictions as options prepared with originality by award-winning chefs, etc.

According to Google search statistics, the term ‘self-care’ has increased more than 100 percent over the last 5 years. More and more dollars are spent on wellness activities than ever before.
