A great holiday should be a restorative experience. Time to re-boot, time to think, time to read, time to learn, time to do nothing – most importantly, time to do whatever you want.
Wellness is ‘a state beyond the absence of illness but rather aims to optimise well-being’. A wellness holiday is more than just a spa or a yoga retreat – it is an opportunity for you to connect with yourself and your loved ones.
The term wellness in more relatable than ever in today’s modern world. Today, most people can’t leave home without a mobile phone or check into a hotel during a holiday without asking for the Wi-Fi code. This is digital detox can help, and what better way to do it than on wellness or spa holiday?
South-East Asia is known worldwide as one of the best destinations for spa holidays. With a long history of massage and expert spa services and treatments, Asia is a great holiday destination to unwind and enjoy the world-class service and friendly welcome that travellers have come to expect from this exotic continent. Sample authentic Thai cuisine, dive into azure waters off the coast of Bali, or relax in a world-class spa in Vietnam, all whilst staying in some of the most stunning spa hotels in the world.
For anyone who becomes a little bored with just lying on a beach, Saint Lucia provides enough additional activities to stimulate the mind. The interior is lush and dramatic, the colonial architecture and bright colours of the houses are photographically enchanting and the island is big enough to warrant exploration. Add the French legacy of some excellent restaurants, lovely hotels, white sand beaches and superb snorkelling, rafting and diving and it is hardly surprising that we like Saint Lucia so much.
India truly is like no other country, from hustle and bustle in the cities to relaxation on the southern beaches of Goa and Kerala. Ayurveda holidays are a popular choice as Ayurveda originated in Kerala (southern India) so you’ll discover a pure, authentic experience. India is also a very spiritual country so it’s excellent for yoga and meditation holidays where you will practice balancing mind, body and soul. For those looking to improve your health and fitness or detox, a wellness holiday in India will leave you feeling rested and restored.
An Indian Ocean holiday provides the pristine golden beaches and azure waters that don’t disappoint. Pamper yourself in the world-renowned spas of the Maldives, stretch out on the long, white-sand beaches of Mauritius, dive in the marine rich waters of Seychelles or take a well-earned break after a safari in Zanzibar. For those looking for something a little different head to North Mozambique for its beautiful landscapes and wildlife.
If your first words when checking into a hotel are ‘Can you tell me the Wi-Fi password, please?’ then technology is almost certainly hampering your hard-earned time out. By taking time away from tech and not constantly posting on social media, scouring the news or watching cat videos, you’ll find yourself engaging more honestly with the destination and enjoying the moment as it happens. Without our phones we’re also forced to spend time with ourselves and loved ones without barriers. Speak to one of our experts about digital-detox holidays.
