Your Wellbeing Journey Starts Here

Exactly what I needed, to reset and relax; a full programme of incredible treatments, with still time to chill. Amazing food, and the staff were lovely.

​Despite renovations that were continuous throughout my visit, I found many truly wonderful parts. From the lovely welcome gift of fruit and Prosecco, to the consistently clean and fresh yoga blankets, so many details were exceptional. A special mention to the yoga instructors, Carlston and the covering lady, for being truly fantastic. I also appreciated the very thorough and warm housekeeper, Hasna, and the incredibly helpful reception staff, especially Aziz and Abduslam. The spa staff, including Latifa, were professional and patiently accommodated my timing changes. ​For future improvements, I found a lack of loungers on the balcony to be a missed opportunity for relaxation, and I was very let down by the advertised Jacuzzi and Zen area. It was only on my last day that I saw the recently opened warm pool, which was lovely, but the Zen area was frequently disrupted by children, so perhaps designating it as an adults-only space or clearly communicating rules would be helpful. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was not consistently strong, and there was a lack of bright overhead lights in the evenings when walking through the complex. Furthermore, vegetarian options were limited during the start of my stay until the main restaurant opened. Lastly, considering the yoga package only includes one daily session, offering alternative structured activities such as cooking or painting would enhance the experience.

Really enjoyed a quiet relaxing break. Treatments were excellent, rooms an excellent standard. Outdoor space good too. Only element slightly disappointing was the food. It’s healthy, generally well prepared but unimaginative and it bit samey/boring…eg no flare or interesting flavours. Also midday options are very limited with few restaurants near by… I’d still go back but perhaps get a car and eat out more..

Zulal was perfect for me - I needed somewhere with the expertise to put me back together again physically yet with a deeply caring and holistic approach. I found it. The programme put together by the Dr in Natural Health was spot on and my regular consultations with him were helpful and supportive. It was so peaceful, quiet, restful. The food was outstanding and a real treat. The practitioners there were superb and got me moving, mobile, again. The whole place is of the highest standard, professional, caring, polished and every single member of staff could not have been kinder or more genuine.

The process was straight forward. I checked the website and found a few hotels I was interested in. Wellbeing Escapes guided me through the options and recommended hotels to suit my requirements. Once Palacio Estoril was chosen as the most suitable Wellbeing Escapes arranged everything for me. Excellent service and value for money as they arranged it all.

Had a wonderful experience at Shanti Som. Very friendly staff, excellent treatments and classes and food was super. Such a relaxing environment and loved that it was in no way prescriptive. Guided hikes were also wonderful. Only areas for improvement are beds which are too firm so softer options would be very helpful. Also vegan and low sugar dessert options would be a great addition to the delicious menu.

I was utterly delighted with my visit to Shanti-Som. It was what I had hoped for and more. The venue itself was stunning, in a lovely location and food superb. Service was 1st class and I felt so comfortable travelling there alone. I loved all the classes (yoga, pilates & mediation) I did as well as the treatments in the spa. I also did a couple of guided walks nearby. It is a small set up which makes it really nice and super friendly. I loved it so much I'm headed back next year!

I would highly recommend Zulal. The food was exceptional — everything is nourishing, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully balanced from a nutritional perspective. The spa treatments were incredible, and the standard of service throughout the resort was truly exemplary. The pools are completely chemical-free, using filtered seawater and freshwater — a real standout feature. I booked through Wellbeing Escapes with a consultant named Rebecca, who was fantastic. She took care of every detail and ensured the trip was perfectly tailored to my needs. I’d also highly recommend booking through them, as they offered the best available rates and outstanding service.

I had a fabulous 5 night stay at Epic Sana, Algarve with some friends. Wellbeingescapes put together a package of daily personal training sessions and spa treatments. I opted for half board and was so glad that I did, the food was amazing with different freshly prepared options every day. The quality was amazing. There were so many pools that there was plenty of space for everyone, no rushing out to secure a sun bed in the morning and the empty beach was just a few minutes walk away. I have stayed in many 5 star hotels and this has to be one of the best in terms of quality, service and cleanliness. I have booked my return trip for next year already!

SHA is a wonderful experience for those who want to focus on their health and wellbeing, from the marvelous healthy food, to the diagnostics, recommendations and treatments available. It is a hugely comfortable place to be, providing quiet and calm for a proper rest and rejuvenation.

Santé is a beautiful retreat close to Cape Town Airport, set on an estate with stunning mountain views. The design is modern and tastefully done, with comfortable, well-appointed rooms. I stayed in both the villa and the main building — both were lovely, though the villa is better suited for summer or groups, while the main building felt cosier. Facilities include a good gym, pool, and an excellent yoga room with fantastic teachers. Food was of very high quality, beautifully presented, and delicious throughout my stay. The real highlight was the wellness programme and treatments. From the data-led consultation with the doctor to the perfectly balanced daily schedule of advanced therapies and holistic treatments, everything felt thoughtful and tailored. The spa team were outstanding, and I experienced the best massage I’ve ever had. Science, data, and technology underpinned everything — all of which was cleverly blended with Traditional Chinese Medicine and other holistic approaches. That combination was both fascinating and highly effective. It felt innovative and deeply restorative at the same time. Overall, Santé offers a truly world-class programme with passionate, caring staff who make you feel supported without ever being intrusive. A wonderful place for rest, recovery, and renewal.

Fabulous hotel & a very beautiful setting. Everyone kind & welcoming always with a smile 😊 Food delicious, luxury Ayurveda treatments in Europe - such a wonderful place, ideal for solo travellers, calm peaceful relaxing atmosphere. Can’t wait to return

My time at Preidlhof was truly life changing. The spa team of Sabrina, Alessandra, Andrea, Leonardo, Yola, Eleanora, and Martin are beyond amazing. I have never encountered such kindness, care, and genuine support, they bring such warmth and a beautiful energy to everything they do. Each conversation, session and interaction with them felt deeply personal, transformative, and full of joy, and together they create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. The whole resort is incredible. From the breathtaking mountain views that are perfect for exploring, to the wide range of experiences and treatments on offer, there is something for everyone. The food is fresh, delicious, and varied, and the facilities are world-class yet never feel crowded. I especially adored my heated balcony day bed! Every detail is so thoughtfully designed, from the restaurant team’s friendliness to the seamless flow of the entire stay. Preidlhof left me feeling relaxed, inspired, nourished, huge thanks to Preidlhof.

My stay was lovely. The staff remember me and are so welcoming and warm. The doctor and dietitian were excellent . So professional and helpful. I had a knee problem and they really helped me with acupuncture, cryotherapy and osteopathy. It made a lot of difference. Lots of big hugs and kisses when I left (nearly 3kg lighter)!! I can’t complain about anything.
