Why a Wellness Retreat?

There are so many different types of health and Wellness Retreat experiences that you can go on, ranging from yoga Retreats, spa retreats, holistic medicine retreats, writing retreats, detox retreats.. and the list goes on!

If there are so many different types of retreats, why do so many people continue to spend time doing them and what do they do when they get there?

I have personally been to a number of different retreats and for me it is an escape.. a different, inspiring environment to relax and recharge whilst doing something amazing for my body.

Our minds need down time to be able to heal properly and in our busy lives, it can be really hard to really allow yourself to relax.

If you are looking for an excuse to take time out and would like to see some amazing places in the world, I have some great suggestions to get you rejuvenated and transformed.

Amazing Health and Wellness Retreats:

Aqua Wellness Resort, Nicaragua

At Aqua Wellness Resort, you can not only stay in a tree house perched high in the trees and made of local, natural wood and stone, but you are overlooking the beautiful, white sandy beachfront of Redonda Bay on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast.

The design of the resort is eco-friendly and you may even come across some native wildlife such as howler monkeys and iguanas.

Your unwinding session can take place in their ocean view spa with pampering treatments and you can attend group yoga classes for free on the ocean view wooden platform at the resort.

In your spare time, you can take advantage of the beachfront bar, go snorkeling, paddle boarding or kayaking with the provided free gear or dine in the restaurant.

Vikasa Yoga Retreat, Koh Samui, Thailand

Vikasa Yoga Retreat is set on a cliff side, with the restaurant at the top and the different accommodation options, pools, spas and yoga areas scattered right down to the beach.

If you have a beach front room like I did, you will be extremely thankful for the assistance in getting your bags down the hills to your room!

The retreat has a regular timetable with different styles of yoga, pilates and meditation, all at different levels. You can choose the classes that most suit you and attend as you like.

The platform where the yoga performs is open at the sides and you can smell the ocean and feel the breeze as you are performing your practice.

You can also book spa treatments and pampering which are set on a wooden platform on the edge of the cliff face which gives you a  deeper sense of relaxation during the treatments.

Meals are served in the restaurant at the top and are designed to be fresh and healthy with a hint of Thai influence.

Asclepios Wellness & Healing Retreat, Costa Rica

Asclepios Wellness and Healing Retreat gives you a choice of a detox program, fitness program, weight management program or yoga program or you can just go and enjoy some serious pampering.

The amazing part of this retreat is that the concept behind it is about looking at you as a whole through spa treatments, coaching, nutrition and trying to help you to become your best, all while being in the middle of the beautiful Costa Rica!

The restaurant at the retreat serves up some gourmet treats and is  focused on being organic with a choice of vegetarian or non vegetarian menus.

Haramara Retreat, Mexico

Haramara retreat is an intimate and secluded retreat for those who would like to experience a deeper mind body and spirit connection.

Every structure has been carefully planned out in a way that it enables you to have a sense of harmony with the land.. the beautiful beaches and the jungles on the site.

At the retreat, you can attend open air yoga classes, dine in the open air restaurant or attend the wellness center for some pampering.

You can also take excursions off the site with whale-watching, snorkeling, surfing, horseback riding, zip line canopy, crocodile refuge or ancient petroglyph tour.

Binna Burra Lodge, QLD, Australia

Binna Burra Lodge and Commando Steve run a fitness camp in the style of the biggest loser.. it is a tough style retreat but you are going there for results!

You will be in shared bunk accommodation with physical activity, adventure and nutrition sessions.. it’s a ‘No Excuses’ retreat.

At the end of your time, you will feel incredible (and you can enjoy a massage too!)

The Farm at San Benito, Philippines

The retreats at the farm range from restoration and healing, detox, weight management and fitness.

It is a center for holistic healing and to balance the mind, body and spirit through an eco friendly environment and nourishing food.

The practice here is built on a combination of eastern and western healing and they aim to make your journey about a total lifestyle enhancement.

You will come out of the retreat feeling completely rejuvenated and renewed.

Conclusion

Enjoy your time relaxing in your retreats!
