5 Of The Best Wellness Retreats
Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa
First on the list is Miraval - and for good reason. It’s regarded as an industry leader in the luxury wellness world and offers a little something for everyone. Each guest receives a customized wellness itinerary based on what they’re hoping to achieve during their stay. Whether you’re looking for something fitness related, or a couple looking to reconnect - you’re sure to have an amazing experience.
They tailor their wellness programs and activities around each of the seasons. Some of the experiences include a floating meditation session and crystal therapy, a “conscious cooking” class, breathwork, and of course your spa classics - massages and facials. As if that wasn’t enough, the property has a golf course, an infinity pool, and tons of places to walk/bike through the scenery.
SHA Wellness Clinic
Nestled in the serene surroundings of the Spanish coastal town of Altea, SHA Wellness Clinic is another luxury retreat center. With a philosophy rooted in integration of ancient Eastern healing traditions and modern Western medicine, SHA offers a transformative experience.
You’ll be welcomed into a tranquil sanctuary where personalized wellness programs, gourmet macrobiotic cuisine, and innovative treatments are tailored to your goals. From detoxification and stress management to rejuvenation and fitness, every aspect of the SHA experience is designed to inspire a profound sense of balance and vitality. And as if all of that wasn’t enough, they have infinity pools overlooking the Mediterranean - yes, please!
The Ranch at Malibu
The Ranch at Malibu is located amidst the beautiful landscapes of Southern California's Malibu region. Offering a transformative retreat experience, The Ranch at Malibu focuses on a blend of intensive fitness, rejuvenating nutrition, and mindfulness practices to foster holistic rejuvenation. As a guest, you’ll be immersed in a structured program that includes difficult hikes through the Santa Monica Mountains, mindfulness sessions, and plant-based meals designed to detoxify and energize your body. It’s definitely going to be a little more of an “intense” wellness retreat given the style of workouts and strict daily diet. But the environment is super peaceful and serene. The massages and IV therapy don’t hurt either!
Chablé Yucatán
Chablé Yucatán is an extraordinary wellness retreat tucked away in the lush jungles of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Picture yourself surrounded by 750 acres of tropical paradise, where every detail, from the elegant villas to the ancient Mayan-inspired spa, is designed to envelop you in luxury and tranquility. Here, you can immerse yourself in rejuvenating treatments that draw upon indigenous herbs and healing traditions, indulge in gourmet cuisine crafted from locally sourced ingredients, and explore the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
In addition to the gorgeous property, Chablé Yucatán offers healing ceremonies performed by a Shaman, chakra-balancing rituals, sound healing sessions with Tibetan Bowls, and temazcal treatments in a steam house.
Heckfield Place
Heckfield Place, a romantic country estate and luxury hotel nestled amidst the serene English countryside, has been on my list for a while. It is the epitome of understated elegance and refined hospitality. If you’re seeking an escape from city life (or just everyday life), Hekcfield Place offers an idyllic retreat where every detail is curated to ensure an amazing experience.
From the restored Georgian architecture to the sprawling gardens surrounding the property, you’ll feel like you’re in an episode of Bridgerton. Every meal is farm-to-table with seasonal ingredients sourced from the estate’s biodynamic farm. The spa, Little Bothy, has spa treatments based on holistic wellness/nature immersion and a variety of wellness classes.
