WINTER WELLNESS

SOULFUL DESTINATIONS TO FOCUS ON YOU

There is much to be said about the health effects of minimalism, like living with clarity and intention, the ability to heal, and regaining balance in our lives. On that note, it may be good for your health to learn that the complex travel requirements of 2021 got a makeover in simplicity: the UK’s traffic light system is now a single red list (currently empty), and inbound coronavirus testing requirements are no longer. Could this stress-relieving news be the catalyst for a much-needed winter wellness escape under the golden sun? Browse the below inspiration for warm-weather, health-focused resorts in soulful destinations, and reach out to begin planning sooner than later—there’s a good chance many others have the same idea!

MINDFUL IN MALAYSIA | BOOK A WELLNESS HOLIDAY AT ONE&ONLY DESARU COAST

Nestled between powdery sands and a lush, singing jungle, the recently opened One&Only Desaru Coast is the definition of heavenly seclusion. From the moment of arrival, it’s clear that your therapeutic journey has already begun—but things will pick up when you step into the tranquil oasis of Chenot Spa. Their science-based spa programmes are offered in 1-3 day themes of relaxation, fitness, body sculpture, couples and more. Book a private 60-minute yoga session at the beach pavilion, learning breathing techniques as you gaze out to the blue sky and azure waters. Satisfy your appetite by creating your own Nourish Bowl from a selection of hearty proteins, fresh seasonal greens and assorted grains.

GRACEFUL IN GREECE | BOOK A WELLNESS HOLIDAY AT AMANZOE

Combining the Sanskrit-derived word for ‘peace’ with zoe (the Greek word for ‘life’), this Aman Resorts hilltop haven is a modern-day stone Acropolis with 360-degree views of olive groves and Aegean blue. The holistic healings of Hippocrates are the inspiration for the airy and light-filled 2,850-square-metre spa where you’ll find your inner peace with a signature olive oil massage. If you’re feeling adventurous, explore the well-curated menu featuring gymnastics, sea bathing, and even innovative treatment technologies (including Cellgym® oxygen therapy or MesoJet® skin therapy).

CALM IN COSTA RICA | BOOK A WELLNESS HOLIDAY AT AMOR ARENAL

At the foothills of the Arenal Volcano and the edge of a virgin forest canyon you’ll find the adults-only Amor Arenal. At this jaw-dropping five-star rainforest lodge, simply going about your day somehow becomes transformative. Shower overlooking the rainforest, walk from your room to the jungle trails, soak in the spring pools, and eat an all-organic menu of healthy and delicious cuisine at Jaranita.

BLISS IN BALI | FOUR SEASONS RESORT BALI AT SAYAN

When you combine the peaceful island of Bali with the iconic hospitality of Four Seasons, you’ll find yourself in a verdant riverside sanctuary bathed in beauty and purity. Nothing will spur your holistic wellbeing like arriving via a dramatic bridge with an ethereal descent through a valley of towering trees, tiered rice paddies and enchanting gardens. When you’re not nurturing yourself at the Sacred River Spa, embrace a few Balinese active adventures, including river rafting, rice field cycling tours and trekking—or allow your perspective to change completely with a nighttime spa treatment or full moon yoga.
