Best Wellness Retreats to Restore Your Mind, Body, and Soul

Wake up. Work. Eat dinner. Sleep. There’s no question that our self-care routines can get… well, fairly routine. Whether you want to break out of a rut, or simply escape stress somewhere warm, a health-focused resort provides the perfect solution. We've scoured the country—and the world—to find the best wellness retreats to help you feel rejuvenated, whether meditation is your thing, or you're just looking for some downtime to relax in a serene setting.

There's no denying COVID-19 has shaken up the resort and spa industries, as well as our own willingness to travel both domestically and abroad. But a stressful, trying 2020 has made the need for rejuvenation even more pressing for all of us. The retreats listed below are all either currently accepting guests or have plans to reopen soon with heightened safety protocols. That means in some places, a couple's massage or a long sauna soak might not be as easily accessible, but there are still a slew of activities, from aromatherapy to vitamin infusions to athletic options like horseback riding, hiking, and yoga, that are said to improve mental health.

Whether you're looking for a quick solo escape in the heart of a major city like Seattle or planning a true getaway to Italy, Japan, or Spain, these retreats have the keys to helping you rediscover your spark mentally and physically, clear your head, and recenter yourself. And if that happens to involve a Himalayan stone massage, well they've got you covered.
