To be well, travel well – tips to upgrading your holidays



Healthy holiday trend is one of the growing concepts worldwide. More and more people are looking for a break from their busy lifestyles, ability to optimise their health, control stress levels or just desire to unwind both their body and mind. Mind matters is one of the Top 10 Wellness Travel Trends. It means that mindful vacation is important condition while planing next voyage. New practice learned on the trip can be incorporated at home while developing your practice can improve your everyday life. 

Many people wellness holidays relate to medical issues or visiting Spas. Spa treatments can be a big part of it but wellness is not just about Spas. Maintaining your personal well-being can be achieved in different ways: spending time in the nature, watching a sunset, enjoying healthy and fresh food, boosting energy levels or developing your interests. It doesn’t mean that wellness traveller is searching only for health improvement, a wellness traveller can be motivated by desire for relaxation, tranquility, inner rejuvenation or simply an authentic local experience. 

It’s an old-fashioned way of thinking, that holiday is a guilt- free time when you can press ‘pause’ and pamper yourself with doing nothing, eating to your hearts desire and fulfilling all your temptations. Slow food as a slow traveling is becoming a big part of wellness vacation. Mindful dining is promoted as an alternative to the fast food. Paying a special attention to   healthy food, quality and freshness, local ingredients and slow eating pleasure. Nowadays travellers are looking for new type of vacation where they can stay active, be surrounded by beautiful nature, rejuvenate, maybe even challenge themselves by going for a new adventure.  Such vacation is a perfect combination of exploring new destinations, cultural experiences and taking some time for yourself. 

Retreat is well-planned type of health holidays which helps to slow down your body and mind, gives you time to think or escape the overthinking, fully immerse yourself in what you are doing, so you can truly be in a place to soak up the experience. 

Is retreat becoming the opposition to modern life? We believe that going on a retreat doesn’t mean that you need to run from something or somebody in your ordinary life, for us it’s more like a journey of inspiration for your body and mind. Like a true treat which you can give to yourself at any time of your life. Maybe you are looking for a perfect getaway where you do not really need to get away from it all. It could be just a right choice of a unique hotel which introduces holistic lifestyle practices such as yoga and meditation, detox programmes and healthy nutrition to appeal to wellness ­travellers. Follow your desire to take your time out to delve deeper into your yoga or pilates practice with passionate teachers. Or maybe sounds of the waves and ocean breeze are the ultimate treat for you? There is no magic formula for a retreat. Just find the flow that works for you and go for it.
