The Rise of a New Wellness Destination
When you picture paradise, it might look something like this: thousands of miles of white-sand coastline fronting the most dazzling turquoise sea you’ve ever seen. A colorful coral reef teeming with exotic fish. Untouched islands. Starry skies and windswept desert dunes. And gorgeous resorts that are focused on your wellbeing.
Iconic Wellness in Mexico
With a friendly, creative spirit in its cities and vitamin D-enriching sunny days on its coastlines, Mexico has long been a place we go to unwind, try something new or reset to thrive again.
Explore Asheville
Take a deep breath, exhale and say “Ah.” Or “Om.” After all, you can’t help but be filled with a sense of relaxation, rejuvenation and well-being during a visit to Asheville, North Carolina. The fresh mountain air, the awe- and ah-inspiring natural landscape, the friendly people and the innate wellness of the destination invite the recalibration of mind, body and spirit.
Caribbean Cures
Whispering winds, crashing waves, Renoir-blue waters, genial residents, coconut water right from the tree, snorkeling and pastel-hued architecture all come to mind when considering the Caribbean. While each island has its own personality, every destination promises repose.
Ski Spas
Much like a hot toddy at the end of a day on the slopes, skiing and spa-ing are a perfect fit. Many of today’s top ski resorts are home to extensive spas that feature services ideal for easing worn muscles, programming geared toward the active traveler and facilities designed to warm you up.
The Wilderness Cure
With the lockdown’s unexpected gift of “pause,” nature became a needed healing replacement for our beloved brick-and-mortar spas. And so, as we plunged into wilderness’ largesse, we sought the spa within. Human-powered activities, from hiking to biking, became our metaphorical spa treatments.
Star-Studded Travel
To help promote their setting in a Dark Sky region—or in an isolated area that’s just generally stellar for star-sightings—a number of hotels and resorts have created ways to help their guests learn about and engage with the night sky.
Be in the (Blue) Zone
At first glance, these locations, set in diverse regions, seemed to have little in common. What they did share, though, was a robust populace of elders who not only lived long, but lived well—maintaining ambulatory health as well as mental clarity, not to mention emotional bliss, far into their senior years.
Southern Charm
Let’s set the scene. With its king cakes and pandowdies, pink camellias, Spanish Moss dripping from anthropomorphic oak trees, storytellers (think Maya Angelou and Tennessee Williams), bayous, gators and grits, pimento cheese, boiled peanuts and hush puppies, the South has an indubitable charm all its own.
