3 Of The
Best Locations For A Health And Wellness Retreat
The
stress of modern life does tend to get to you and there is no better way
of relieving this stress than a health and wellness retreat. Learn how
to care for your body, try meditation and yoga, while experiencing the
culture of another country. Here are some of the best locations to chill
out, relax and generally get yourself and your spirit back on track.
1. Take
a spiritual tour of Bhutan
Bhutan
is a mystical and fascinating country nestled in the Himalayas. Among the
beautiful, snow-capped mountains are green and lovely valleys and forests
offering a stunning and breath-taking landscape. What makes the country
unique is the fact that tourism to Bhutan was not available until 1974.
To retain its traditional charm, the number of visitors to the country
is restricted. This means you must carefully plan your health
and wellness retreat in Bhutan.
The
best way to see Bhutan is to take a trek through the forests and rice paddy
fields. Along the way head up to the fascinating Buddhist monasteries,
which seem almost suspended from the steep hillsides. Here you can meet
with the monks to take on a spiritual journey. Also, learn about yoga and
meditation and holistic health at one of the beautiful sanctuaries throughout
the country.
2. Health
and wellness in New Zealand
The scenery
in New Zealand ranges from beautiful lakes to stark, volcanic peaks and
a sub-alpine hiking holiday through this scene will let you get back to
nature and relax. While exploring the wonders of the area, stop off at
lodges offering soothing spa therapies, meditation and yoga and healthy
eating with vegetarian whole foods.
Take
part in nutrition courses and watch the art of permaculture in action,
while staying in eco-friendly lodging in this gorgeous part of the world.
End the day in the hot tub to soothe any sore muscles from your yoga classes
or hiking in the mountains. According to the local media, one of the most
popular retreats is the award-winning Aro Ha Wellness Retreat in Queenstown.
In
your spare time, explore the
wonders of New Zealand, with its historic cities, beautiful beaches
and scenic views.
3. Health
and wellness in Portugal
Portugal
has a number of health and wellness retreats in all popular destinations.
Learn yoga on the beach near the fascinating cities of Lisbon, Sintra and
Cascais or the beautiful city of Porto, home of the best port in Portugal.
Head to the Algarve
to relax at a wellness retreat in Faro, Albufeira or Lagos. Here you can
enjoy spa treatments, massages, yoga and meditation in beautifully scenic
surroundings.
While
not relaxing with a spa treatment or massage, or learning the art of yoga
or meditation, enjoy the traditional cuisine of Portugal and the country’s
excellent selection of wines and port.
Make
a change this year when heading out for a holiday and come home truly relaxed
and at peace with yourself and the world.
