Retreat Me Well

 

What’s a great travel retreat without the opportunity to truly seek peace from within.  At a time where being conscious of what we are putting in and on the outside of our bodies is in almost every headline or social media feed that we see, it’s hard to even know where to just begin. What we do know is that the art of doing nothing is a good place to begin, if only for just a moment, possibly two. In between zoom calls, playdates, actual dates, dog parent meetups and figuring out what to do (if anything) over the holiday break is just around the corner, we’ve compiled a list of wellness retreats. From completely off-the-grid yoga retreats, to mountain hikes to spa treatments and blissful getaways that do nothing but simply eat, sleep and wake (repeat) all day..we have compiled a wonderful list of places we think you just might fall in love with.

ROSEWOOD, PHUKET, THAILAND
If the art of doing nothing – absolutely nothing but in a beautiful place with nothing but water and luscious greenery surrounding you with a cocktail in hand and relaxation as your first, second and third activity, then this location is just for you. If you’re interested in a more entry-level wellness experience—versus a no-nonsense, intensive detox—consider Rosewood Phuket, a luxury beachfront resort that has a stellar spa where you can sign up for wellness retreats and workshops. You can also opt for à la carte treatments and classes, if you’d prefer to eat, sleep, then figure it out.
