Ways to Add Wellness Into Your Next Vacation

You may have heard the term Wellness Travel. It is one of the largest trends in travel to date.

And this trend is not going away any time soon. Over the last few years, wellness travel has

reached an all-time high in consumer spending. As a culture, we’re focusing more on self-care

and experiences when we travel in addition to finding exotic locales.

Here are a few ways you can take advantage of wellness travel offerings or add some wellness

into your next vacation.

Unplug

It’s one of those we hear often but find difficult to do. A vacation is a great time to disconnect

from the outer world and leave your worries behind. Have a hard time breaking the habit on

your own? Find a vacation that forces you to leave the Wi-Fi alone. Cruises are a great example

of this as often there’s an additional charge to have internet on the ship. Hotels and spas are

also getting in on the mindset reset by offering disconnected vacations and retreats.

Beyond the Spa

A spa in the resort, or cruise, is a great way to get some added self-care and pampering in. But

it’s not the only way. Get outside with a guided nature walk, either through a group or guide, or

on your own with an AllTrails hiking app. Hiking doesn’t have to be a strenuous activity. Studies

show that just a half hour in nature a week reduces your blood pressure and risk of depression.

Find a way to use your travel to explore a new area when you have fewer obligations.

Beyond the Spa Part II

Going to a spa is wellness pampering. Why not go beyond that when you’re on vacation with

things such as a private chef, driver, or even laundry service. Especially if you’re booking a stay

in one of our select condo or luxury home rentals, having someone on hand to make a healthy

dinner, is a fantastic way to introduce new cuisine and pamper yourself at the same time. Ask

us for information about rentals that have optional chefs.

Wellness among friends

One of the best things we love about travel is when we find friendship among our fellow

travelers. Whether you seek out an All-LGBT vacation or not, finding companionship in a group

tour can lighten the spirit. Laughter among friends is the best medicine after all!
