Wellness doesn’t have to be contained within the walls of a spa—something that’s immediately apparent at Blackberry Mountain, an escape that sits on 5,200 acres and is basically a private national park. Hike, bike, and outdoor yoga your way to Zen. Rates include breakfast, dinner, snacks, morning wellness classes, and luxe Smoky Mountain lodging, like a Watchman Cabin.

Ever finished a massage and wished you could stay at the spa all day? You can at all-inclusive Nihi Sumba when you add on a Nihioka Spa Safari. This unique experience starts with a morning hike to the resort’s remote spa. Then, you’ll spend the rest of the day snacking on fresh fruit, floating in the ocean or pool, and enjoying unlimited treatments including body wraps, hair smoothies, and massages.

Live out all your private island fantasies at Song Saa, a secluded escape off the Cambodian coast. Spa retreat packages can be combined with all-inclusive meals so that you’re covered for both dining and downtime. Enjoy a monk blessing ceremony, get a tropical fruit facial, and take advantage of the resort’s night spa for treatments under the stars.

“Where wellness meets the water” is a fitting tagline for Lake Austin Spa Resort. Arrive by water taxi and spend your days luxuriating in aquatic activities, like peaceful paddling, SUP yoga, and AquaFit (though the most beloved may be docktails—happy hour on the dock). And you won’t have to stress over travel logistics, either. This serene escape is only 20 miles from downtown Austin.

Whether your goal is stress reduction, weight loss, or you’d like to develop healthier habits, VeraVia offers comprehensive experiences, from a few days to four weeks long, that inspire real change. Packages touch on four pillars of wellness—fitness, nutrition, medical, and behavioral—and can include five-star accommodation at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, farm-to-table dining, workshops, and a personalized fitness plan.  

Ideal for solo travelers, Amansala offers retreats that’ll let you focus on fitness while also making new friends… all while visiting the jungle paradise of Tulum. For the most active escapes, consider Bikini Bootcamp or Beach Body Camp. Looking for something a little more laid back? Beach N’ Bliss is all about yoga and Restore N’ Renew will get you in a journaling mindset.

Wellness comes custom at Sangha Retreat by Octave Institute, a lakeside resort that sits on 47 acres with a yin-yang-shaped outdoor pool. Guests kick off their stay with an assessment in the At One Clinic before receiving a personalized plan for meals, treatments, and activities. But no matter the program, time spent at the spa’s impressive hydrothermal circuit is a must. 

Glide on transparent acrylic paddle boards as fish swim below, take a poolside Pilates class, and dine on island-fresh fare like conch curry, red snapper with tamarind glaze, and papaya ice cream. It’s all part of the all-inclusive offering at Malliouhana. Want to create a mini bootcamp with pals? The private residences can sleep up to 12. 

Private plunge pools and Jacuzzi tubs make many of the rooms at Grand Velas Riviera Maya feel like personal spas. Plus, yoga, Pilates, and zumba classes are part of the all-inclusive rate, as are fresh salads and ceviches at onsite restaurant Chaká. Treatments in the actual spa are extra, but concierge can help you curate a “spa vacation” package.

Surprise yourself by picking up a new skill (like surfing) or a fresh (more meditative) outlook during an Escape Haven retreat. These week-long, all-women wellness trips include meals, activities, spa treatments, and a stay in one of the sanctuary’s bliss-inducing villas. Pick from packages that focus on surfing, yoga, fitness, detox, Pilates, or Ayurveda. 

Yearning for European landscapes, but can’t swing an international trip? Cal-a-Vie Health Spa looks like it could be tucked in the Tuscan hills or French countryside, but it’s actually in northern San Diego County. Wellness programs are packaged as 3, 4, or 7-night stays and include meals, spa treatments, unlimited fitness classes, and even cooking demos and nutrition lectures.

For a major dose of crystal healing, head to The Retreat Costa Rica, which sits on a quartz mountain in the rainforest. Wellness facilities here include a gratitude lounge, meditation deck, heated volcanic clay bath, and apothecary—the retreat grows medicinal herbs and makes its own tinctures, scrubs, and creams. Plus, the property has only 13 rooms (each named after a plant), making for an intimate oasis.

If taking a week to focus on yourself sounds like a luxury in itself, picture doing so on a 100-acre maharaja’s palace estate… at the foothills of the Himalayas. That’s Ananda. Here you can choose your own wellness adventure, whether you’d like to stay 5 nights or 21. Focused programs include holistic detox, yoga, improved immunity, and inner balance. 

Lakeview rooms with rain showers set the tone for feeling good at YO1 Health Resort in the Catskills. The name YO1 comes from “yovan,” the sanskrit word for youth. After a week here of mindful meditation, reiki healing, hot tub lounging, and gourmet vegetarian meals, you’re likely to rediscover plenty of youthful energy. 

Becoming one with nature shouldn’t be too hard at Santani Wellness Resort & Spa. The hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows show off the surrounding lush landscape, and daily meals make the most of the area’s organic produce. Both yoga classes and spa treatments take place in open-air rooms, and the hydrotherapy facilities are inspired by ancient Buddhist meditation caves in nearby mountains. 

If our bodies (achy joints, stress-carrying shoulders, sore feet) could actually speak up and choose a vacation destination, Saint Lucia, with its warm weather and white-powder beaches, is probably right on the money. So go on and treat your limbs to a lavish stay at BodyHoliday, where all-inclusive rates come with international cuisine, fitness classes, and a 50-minute spa treatment every day. 

Two things that make Tia Wellness Resort stand out: Everybody gets a private pool in their villa, and breakfast lasts all day (hooray for a healthy retreat that includes sleeping in!). Guests can add on a wellness inclusive option that comes with spa treatments and master classes (about breathing techniques or tai chi, for example), and there’s a full board plant-based meal plan as well. 

The desert has long been a wellness destination and you can see why at Miraval Arizona. Set in the Sonoran, the resort’s rooms, suites, and villas are casita-style and come equipped with Tibetan singing bowls, meditation cushions, and guided meditation channels. Spend mornings hiking and biking the surrounding cacti-lined trails, then head to the spa for a hot stone massage with desert herbs.

Private plunge pools, garden-to glass cocktails, meditation pods, and a soothing spa labyrinth ritual are all part of the experience at Casa Velas, an adults-only all-inclusive. Double down on health by booking a wellness suite. These two-level sanctuaries come with a private garden immersion pool, hot tub, fitness equipment, wellness consultations, and a massage on your suite’s terrace.

A healthy retreat doesn’t necessarily need to be a dry one. Les Sources de Caudalie, a hotel that’s surrounded by vineyards, proves that wine can be part of wellness, too. Book the Reinvigorating Getaway for four days of French well-being, which includes two half-day treatments at the Vinothérapie Spa where you can literally soak in a barrel with red vine extracts (it’s good for circulation!).

Anyone looking for release that doesn’t come in the form of a massage or body scrub should consider Canyon Madness Ranch. About two hours from Santa Fe, this retreat sits on 14,000 acres and offers a true escape from humdrum life with its natural surroundings and unique all-inclusive activities, like sporting clay shooting, canyon horseback rides, and river canoeing.
