New Year’s Eve Spa Retreat

New Year’s Eve can often feel underwhelming. All-to-often you end up doing the same routine year after year, even if that means staying in to avoid the crowds. So why not take the opportunity to try something totally different? Picture yourself waking up on the 1st of January and heading off to get a purifying facial whilst surrounded by the lemon trees and olive groves of Lake Garda, going for a stroll in the mystical Himalaya’s or taking a plunge in a hydrotherapy pool in the peaceful countryside of the UK.

While that sounds incredible it may also sound complicated, where do you start, how do you find the perfect place to wake up to one New Year’s Day with your partner or family? Read on to find out a list of things to consider when looking for your perfect New Year’s Eve spa retreat.

Where to go and where to stay for your New Years Eve Spa Retreat

Where do I go? What’s the weather like? What else is there to do? Panic not, there is always a perfect option out there for you! Remove the stress from planning and know you’re in for a treat. We’ve outlined some of the very best spa retreats, from Asia to home below.

Long-haul

If you’re prepared to take a long haul flight, you can find yourself in some of the world’s most beautiful countries enjoying incredible New Years Eve Spa Retreats. For example, while half of the world celebrates during winter, countries like the Maldives beckon you with the sunny side of life.

After a day of snorkelling around the reefs, exploring the sea and swimming alongside schools of radiant fish, you could watch the past year melt away with a Balinese massage in a world of ultimate relaxation.

One of our top recommendations for the Maldives is the Six Senses Laamu. Located on the Maldives's southern Laamu Atoll, Six Senses Laamu is one of those beach destinations you've always dreamt of with long jetty’s of water villas and idyllic spa treatments to really help set the mood right for the coming year.

If you want a single flight but don’t mind flying long haul, take a look at Sri Lanka. This beautiful island is a great choice for a spa retreat or yoga holiday that combines treatments and exercise with the chance to explore too giving you the opportunity to come back feeling nurtured and culturally enriched.

If you are looking for somewhere ‘unique and special’ then Sen Wellness Sanctuary in Sri Lanka will tick those boxes. It’s a small, stylishly designed sociable retreat offering authentic yoga, meditation, Ayurvedic treatments and vegetarian cuisine. What’s not to like?

Short-haul

If sunbathing isn’t an essential for you, countries like Spain and Portugal are home to a whole host of wonderful spa resorts offering rejuvenating treatments within stylish surroundings, often at much warmer temperatures still than the UK.  

If you want the feeling of Asia all around you, Shanti-Som, in Sierra de Las Nieves Nature Park near Marbella could be the perfect New Years Eve Spa Retreat for you. It’s an intimate and tranquil Asian-style retreat which has been carefully constructed, respecting and incorporating local materials as well as following the guidelines of Feng-Shui. With gardens full of waterfalls, streams and fountains, and a stunning mountain backdrop it’s a great place to do some yoga, relax and soak up the tranquility that the New Year can bring.

With 1st January and no doubt some New Year’s resolutions maybe you’d like to combine a city break with wellbeing so that you can get to the heart of the country but also have time to relax with rejuvenating spa treatments and start the resolution of treating your body better early? Almyra Hotel & Spa in a luxurious, five-star hotel located within minutes’ walk of Paphos harbour. Stroll along the promenade between the resort to find the shops, bars and restaurants. The adults-only spa is the ideal place to relax with a massage or head to the yoga terrace for some blissful yoga. Every aspect of it has been designed to allow you to release tensions and relax before heading back to reality to reap the benefits and start the New Year brighter and better than before!
