Start next year on the right foot by booking yourself into one of these amazing properties for a wellness retreat.


It’s been a long and busy year — and it’s not even over yet! If you’re anything like us, you definitely need a bit of a reset in 2025. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the best wellness resorts from around the world.

Find out where you can travel to get a much-deserved break, kickstart your health goals and indulge in a lot of R&R. We’re talking massages, detoxes, nature walks and immersive wellness retreats. New year, new you?



BodyHoliday in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia

Going on vacation often requires that you leave your workout routine at home, but that’s not the case at BodyHoliday. This all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia makes it easy for you to stay active while you soak up the sun.

An array of wellness classes, from yoga and tai chi to mindfulness mediation, are included in your room rate — as is a daily therapeutic treatment. Need to soothe your aching muscles? Book yourself a massage. Trying to improve your cardiovascular function? Hop into one of the resort’s infrared saunas.

BodyHoliday also provides you with plenty of fun ways to work up a sweat! Stand-up paddleboarding, pickleball, tennis and beach football are just some of the activities available on site. Even better, the resort offers guided hikes and nature walks that take you up and around the Pitons, a pair of volcanic spires.

Whether you’re trying to take care of your mind, body or soul, BodyHoliday’s holistic approach to health and wellness has got you covered.

REVIVO Wellness Resort in Bali, Indonesia

Nestled in the hills of Nusa Dua, the REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort provides a peaceful setting for you to embark on a journey of self-improvement. There are six signature wellness retreats to choose from:

  • Detox & Cleanse Retreat: Purify and restore your immune system
  • Destress & Relax Retreat: Learn to release tension and embrace tranquility
  • Vitality & Longevity Retreat: Nourish and renew your skin, and amplify your inner glow
  • Mindfulness & Emotional Balance Retreat: Dissolve emotional barriers and discover ways to deal with anxiety
  • Sleep Well & Reset Retreat: Relax the mind and body to optimize your sleep quality
  • Organic Weight Loss & Re-shaping Retreat: Discover sustainable weight loss strategies and cultivate healthy habits

Depending on which wellness retreat you pick, you’ll get help targeting specific health problems through mindfulness practices and spa treatments — including restorative yoga classes, hot stone massages, Boreh body wraps, IV infusions, and other local and ancient healing therapies. Each wellness retreat also includes a meal plan tailored toward your personal goals.



The Lodge at Blue Sky in Wanship, Utah

Do you spend a lot of time and energy on, well… aligning your energy? If so, The Lodge at Blue Sky in Utah may just be the destination spa for you. In addition to soothing body treatments and wellness classes, it has a collection of Energy Journeys that have been designed to align your chakras and restore both your physical and emotional self.

The best part? Each of these treatments is performed in a beautiful mountain setting. The resort’s healing sanctuary is surrounded by aspen trees and a murmuring creek, helping you reach a state of complete relaxation during each Sugar Nap, Ki “Energy” Reboot or Mountain Cacao Ceremony.

Of course, a healthy lifestyle is all about balance! After a day of spiritual awakening, make your way to the on-site Yuta restaurant for farm-to-table fare made with local ingredients: baby artichokes with potato foam, elk chop with charred broccolini puree and tiramisu with espresso ice cream are just a few of the stand-out items on the menu.

Six Senses Douro Valley in Samodães, Portugal

A lot of spa treatments are based on ancient healing practices — but not the ones at Six Senses Douro Valley. This resort in Portugal gives you the chance to try out some pretty modern techniques. Through wellness screenings, skin analyses and biohacking, it’s health experts can determine what your body needs to ensure you get the most out of your stay.

Treatments at Six Senses can be booked à la carte, or you can sign up for a unique wellness program. There are eight to choose from, including a Detox program that helps rid your body of toxins, a Female Health program that teaches you how to maintain hormonal health, and a Sleep program that restores your energy and assists with stress relief.

There’s even a Paw, Paw program for your furry friends! After a long flight, your dog deserves to be pampered just as much as you do. We recommend signing them up for a nourishing paw massage as soon as you check in.

Our Habitas in Tulum, Mexico

Unlike the other resorts we’ve included on this list, Our Habitas in Tulum doesn’t offer any super-intensive health programs. Rather, guests come here for the beautiful tent-like accommodations, incredible spa services and nutritious meals. Think of it as an adults-only health and wellness oasis where vacation time meets self-care time.

The hotel’s daily program is centred around six core pillars: Art and Culture, Wellness, Adventure, Learning, Food and Beverage, and Music. This gives you the ability to pick and choose how you de-stress, exercise and find serenity throughout your stay. One day, that may mean working up a sweat; the next, it may involve lounging by the pool.

To give you a sense of what this might include, here are a few of the activities that were on the hotel’s weekly schedule at the time of writing:

  • Movies under the stars
  • Painting classes
  • Pilates classes
  • Full-body workouts
  • Breathing workshops
  • Sunrise coffee experiences
  • Mezcal tastings
  • Live music performances
  • Sound baths


Daintree Ecolodge in Daintree, Australia

Connecting with nature can do wonders for the mind, body and spirit. That’s why we recommend you stay at the Daintree Ecolodge in Queensland, Australia. The Daintree Rainforest is the world’s oldest tropical rainforest (it began to form over 180 million years ago!), and this eco-friendly resort allows you to stay in the heart of it.

Its luxury treehouse accommodations are surrounded by lush greenery, allowing you to take in the sights and sounds of nature from the second you wake up in the morning to the moment you drift off to sleep at night. Of course, when you do decide to leave your room, there are plenty of outdoor adventures to choose from. The Daintree Ecolodge offers rainforest walks and picnics, and can help you book zipline tours, river cruises, scenic helicopter rides and other excursions with local guides.

The hotel also boasts one of the most incredible spas where you can indulge in nourishing mud wraps, scalp massages, full-body exfoliations and more.

Kamalaya in Koh Samui, Thailand

Whether you’re needing a quick break from the daily grind or a transformative experience, Kamalaya is the place to be. This wellness resort, located on the lush island of Koh Samui, understands that achieving optimal health looks different for everyone — and as a result, offers more than 70 holistic therapies and spa treatments.

Booking a room at Kamalaya not only allows you to attend its daily yoga classes, mindfulness meditation sessions and fitness programs, but also provides access to steam caverns, plunge pools and the sacred Arjan Cave. If that’s all you need for relaxation and rejuvenation, great! If you’re looking for something more intense, you can enroll in one of its immersive wellness programs. There are more than 15 available to choose from, ranging from 3 to 21 nights.

All the amenities and healing retreats combine Eastern traditions with Western medical research, so you can trust you’ll be getting the best of both worlds. Plus, you’ll have support from a wide range of on-site health practitioners, including naturopaths, lifestyle coaches, nutritionists and spiritual mentors.

Euphoria Retreat in Mystras, Greece

When you leave Euphoria Retreat, you’ll feel like an entirely new person. Located in the Peloponnese Region in Greece, it boasts some of the best wellness retreats in Europe. Plus, it has a robust team of doctors, therapists, nutritionists, fitness instructors and other health professionals on site to ensure you reach your goals.

While a lot of other hotel wellness programs are designed only for individuals, Euphoria Retreat sets itself apart by offering a few group activities, workshops and boot camps, including its Spartan Spirit of Adventure, Emotional and Physical Transformation, and Holistic Leadership retreats. It also has a Euphoria Escape for Couples program, giving you and your significant other a chance to sit back and reconnect.

And don’t even get us started on the spa facilities! Featuring an outdoor pool and hot tub, experiential showers, a steam room, an ice fountain, and a hammam (among many other facilities), this is the ultimate place to indulge in some hydrotherapy. Go ahead and dip your toes in the thermal waters.

Cala Luna Boutique Hotel in Tamarindo, Costa Rica

This is another great option if you want to experience the healing powers of nature. The Cala Luna Boutique Hotel in Costa Rica is surrounded by a lush jungle and a white-sand beach, allowing guests to be soothed by the sounds of rustling leaves and crashing waves simultaneously.

What’s more, each indoor and outdoor space has been designed in a way that maximizes your connection to the natural world. The hotel’s lobby, open-air restaurant and pool deck — and even the bungalow-style rooms and villas — feature earth tones and organic details.

The wellness retreats, detox programs and spa treatments are really just the icing on the cake. Focused around three elements (touch, sound and scent), rejuvenation can be achieved through massages, acupressure, sound baths, aromatherapy and more.
