Gentle wellbeing holidays to start 2020

The festive season is over and you’ve probably indulged a little too much on mince pies. Now you’re feeling guilty and want to do a intense weight-loss and detox programme? We’re not saying that detox is bad but why not start the new year gently and in a more sustainable way instead of putting yourself through a drastic weight-loss mission. Once the horrible winter months are over, you'll be way more motivated to do a detox anyway. A wellbeing holiday is a great way to invest in your health and prepare yourself for the year ahead. It will also give you the tools to take home and continue a healthy lifestyle in a sustainable way. Here are our top picks.

Aava Resort & Spa, Thailand

This tranquil resort really is in a postcard perfect location with its 9km of white beach and crystal blue waters in the south of Thailand. Relax your mind, body and soul through rejuvenating Thai massages, body therapies and facial treatments. If you fancy being active, join one of the daily group classes such as Tai Chi or Hatha yoga or perhaps you just want to flop of the beach with a book. You might also catch a glimpse at the rare pink dolphins. We’ve recently created a meditation focused programme called ‘Mind Unwind’ where you’ll be guided through meditation sessions as well as invigorating spa treatments. Or if you want a health boost, choose our Wellbeing Booster programme for a great introduction into the world of wellbeing.

Euphoria Retreat, Greece

Euphoria’s philosophy is to transform and heal to give you the necessary tools to live a happier and healthy life. A combination of ancient Greek healing philosophies alongside modern medicine help to create a rejuvenating space to invest in your health. Food is a real highlight with 3 meals and 2 snacks everyday which are nourishing and balanced to include healthy fats and natural, locally sourced ingredients. Try the 'Yoga & Relax' programme which includes a 3GL analysis (health blood test which measures glutathione - antioxident levels) and a combination of personalised yoga sessions and signature therapies aimed to give you a mental health boost.

Banos De Segura, Spain

The focus at Banos De Segura is on the mineral-rich thermal waters sourced from a local spring with healing powers sure to leave you feeling invigorated and healthier. It’s rurally located close to Zaragoza with rugged scenery perfect for hiking in the fresh air. It’s a very quiet retreat (and adults only too) so if you’re looking to escape it all, we highly recommend it here. Book our 'Wellbeing Booster' programme for a health boost where you’ll enjoy a personal training or yoga session, 2 soothing massages and access to all spa facilities.
