Santani Wellness Resort & Spa, Kandy, Sri Lanka

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.

Les Sources de Caudalie

Les Sources de Caudalie, Bordeaux, France

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!).
