Many of us are looking for new ways to become a better version of ourselves. With wellness becoming increasingly popular, more people are investing in their overall wellbeing. As part of this growing movement, travellers are seeking holidays that not only benefit their physical health, but their spiritual and emotional wellbeing, too. As pioneers in the wellness travel industry, we are constantly looking to bring our customers the latest wellness trends. Here are some to watch this year and beyond.

With veganism on the rise, wellness travellers are looking for retreats that will help them uphold their diet, as well as exposing them to new flavours and fresh local ingredients. Plant-based retreats allow just that. Guests can sample all the delicious dishes on offer, without restrictions or worry. These plant based retreats will make you fall in love with food all over again, with bright colours and unique combinations you'll want to recreate at home. Perhaps you’ve not tried a plant-based diet before? This wellness trend is the perfect way to kickstart the year by trying something new. Better still, you’ll return home detoxed and feeling fresher than ever.

Meditation is the perfect way to switch off and centre yourself in a world that often leaves little time for ourselves. This wellness trend is definitely one to try if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the stresses of daily life. Meditation holidays offer you a calm and serene sanctuary, surrounded by beauty and quiet. This is the perfect place to visit to slow your heart rate, refresh your mind and reflect.

Whether you're recovering from emotional trauma or simply need some time for yourself, a mental health-focused retreat is the ideal place to process your emotions and dedicate time to your individual needs. Whatever the reason may be, mental health retreats are a wellness trend that many of us need now more than ever. At Wellbeing Escapes, we offer a range of mental health retreats including emotional healing holidays, stress management holidays, holistic retreats and sleep retreats.

Looking after our own wellbeing isn’t the only focus of recent wellness trends. Wellbeing travellers are increasingly looking for holidays that are mindful of the environment, as well as themselves. Spending time surrounded by unspoilt nature has been shown to improve mental wellbeing and support conditions such as depression. With the wellbeing of our planet and our own health so closely intertwined, the wellness industry is turning towards more sustainable travel.

One of the biggest wellness trends right now is retreats in general. Many of us are turning away from alcohol-fuelled holidays filled with late nights and junk food, and instead seeking retreats that benefit our physical and spiritual wellbeing. Whether you're a beginner looking for your first retreat or a wellness expert searching for something new to try, at Wellbeing Escapes we offer a wide variety to spark your interest. Our collection includes retreats dedicated to detox, Ayurveda, fitness, medical, yoga, Pilates and much more.
Whether it's a plant-based escape or a sustainable getaway, our wellness experts are here to help you find the best break for you. Get in touch via the link below.
