Feeling drained lately? Are the pressures and details of life, work, and family leaving you feeling overwhelmed? Does getting pampered and having your every need met sound little total bliss?
A wellness retreat may be just what you need.
Wellness retreats specialize in bringing calm, clarity, and health back into your life. Combine it with an exotic location and your mind and body will be happy indeed.
Wellness retreats offer a variety of services, specializing in everything from yoga, healing and wellness, meditation, spa treatments, fitness activities and nutritional guidance.
And while there are many activities to fill your schedule, you’ll also have plenty of time for yourself – whether enjoying quiet time on a hike or lounging by a pool.
Fall is the perfect time for going on a retreat – after the busy summer comes to an end and before the holiday season begins. Here are several retreats that offer fall getaways.
You’ll return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Canyon Ranch in Tucson (Arizona)
Tucson is home to the original, and very popular, Canyon Ranch. Famous for their pampering spa services, they also offer fitness activities, holistic wellness, healthy cuisine, and outdoor activities – all in luxurious resort surroundings. Nourish your inner self with their Renew Your Spirit retreat from October 30 – November 6.
Canyon Ranch in Kaplankaya (Turkey)
Let the Aegean Sea serve as the gorgeous backdrop to your retreat at Canyon Ranch’s newest resort in Kaplankaya, Turkey. This secluded sanctuary along the southern Aegean coast offers three private beaches along with Canyon Ranch’s signature services.
Pura Vida Retreat and Spa (Costa Rica)
Located in the lush Central Valley rain forests of Costa Rica, Pura Vida Retreat and Spa offers yoga, wellness treatments, as well as eco-adventures. Their 3-, 5-, or 7-night Mind+Body+Spirit packages are a nice blend of all three services.
This family-owned retreat also has two other locations. You can enjoy their inclusive retreat packages at the Dahlonega Spa Resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains outside of Atlanta, Georgia or at the Maya Tulum Resort along the Riviera Maya coast in Tulum, Mexico.
Baden-Baden (Germany)
Surrounded by the hills of the Black Forest in Germany, Baden-Baden may be the ultimate in rejuvenating your body and inner self. This famous “spa town” originally attracted aristocrats, royalty, and artists who came to “take the waters” in Baden-Baden’s thermal baths, believing them to have healing properties.
“I fully believe I left my rheumatism in Baden-Baden,” Mark Twain wrote. “Baden-Baden is welcome to it.”
Today, Baden-Baden offers a complete resort experience, with healing springs, treatments that range from anti-stress to anti-aging, and plenty of fitness and outdoor activities.
Staying Connected
If possible, you may want to completely disconnect during your wellness retreat. But, just in case you need to connect to family or friends, our low cost Wi-Fi Calling App is easy to use, easy to install, and calls are as little as 2¢ per minute, or free app to app. For a secure Wi-Fi connection, our compact Wi-Fi Pocket Hotspot will tether up to five devices.
