Yoga vacations, healing holidays, detox breaks, wellness tourism, is here to stay. With such a plethora of options available, undoubtedly, the hardest part about combining wellness with luxury travel is finding the right retreat.
Yoga, health, and wellness retreat specialist Yovada.com collaborates with the most trusted yoga and wellness retreats around the world. Whether you’re after a digital detox in Bali, beachside pampering in Thailand, or a restful weekend closer to home, Yovada has come up with ten tips for finding the perfect break.
Wellness concierge
Even if you’re a seasoned spa seeker and know where you’d like to go, booking via a personal concierge service can be a great choice. An excellent concierge can offer a much more tailored approach to your particular requirements for a more exclusive experience.
Beautiful surroundings
Whether it’s detox, yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, or any other retreat, the idea of a wellness break is to appreciate the world’s beauty while honoring yourself. Whatever your escape, surround yourself with beauty.
Yovada’s portfolio includes luxury properties that are as beautiful indoors as they are out, from a retreat embraced in the arms of a quartz mountain in Costa Rica, to a Balinese hideaway nestled within a private organic valley.
Location, location, location
While your concierge should be able to guide you, consider your destination carefully. With its energizing rain forests, sweeping paddy fields, and enchanting temples, Ubud in Bali has become a world-renowned wellness hub. Puntarenas in Costa Rica is an excellent choice for holidaymakers looking to combine a health-focused break with some of the best surfing in the world. The world is your oyster.
Trust in a name
When booking, look for trusted names, qualified experts, and be sure to check independent reviews. Yovada collaborates with the most trusted wellness retreats. Their luxury wellness centers include the iconic Ananda Spa in the Himalayas, as well as lesser-known boutique retreats, all featuring qualified experts in often very specialized fields.
Booking process
Booking the perfect yoga or wellness retreat should be easy and stress-free. On Yovada, you can effortlessly search, browse, compare, and book retreats worldwide instantly. Yovada guarantees that its price cannot be beaten, and if you need to cancel, they offer a free cancellation policy.
Personal goals
Determine your personal goals. Yovada likes to challenge clients to step out of their comfort zone. Whether it’s welcoming the surprising ease after a challenging yoga class, or appreciating the calm release following a peaceful meditation, their retreats stay with their clients long after the journey home. From a 60-day lifestyle change program in Koh Samui to weekend spa pampering in Europe, Yovada offers something for every goal.
Experts at every level
When booking a wellness break, look for experts at every layer of the organization. It’s not just about yoga teachers, but the whole staff network should align in a holistic approach for your wellbeing. Yovada’s team has explored the world practicing yoga as students and teachers. Their skills and experience bring them unique qualities, and they are all genuinely passionate about the wellness sector.
Especially for you
The options for a wellness retreat have never been so great, so look for highly specialized resorts that will suit your personal needs. From Ayurveda panchakarma detox in India to healing spas in Bali, Yovada offers a massive portfolio of different breaks to cater to the most specific of requirements.
Facilities
Cutting edge detox centers, ocean fronted yoga pavilions, martial arts training grounds, infinity relaxation pools, their luxury health retreats feature some of the most decadent, and well-equipped spas in the world.
Try something new
While the benefits of yoga and personal wellness are timeless, the range of retreats worldwide has never been so great. It would be a shame not to take advantage. Why not experiment with some surf lessons alongside your usual spa holiday? Or try a raw food diet detox? Book a one-to-one specialist health consultation.
Yovada features only trusted centers, so clients can try new properties and retreats safely in the knowledge that they’ll be in very safe hands.
