A wellness retreat is a great way to hit reset on your mental and physical health. But, with Covid-19 travel restrictions still in place in many parts of the world, you probably won’t be able to escape to your favourite healthy haven for a little R’n’R. But that does not mean you have to totally forgo a transformational summer getaway.
Wellness destinations and practitioners around the world are redesigning their offerings so that would-be travellers can enjoy an effective wellness retreat in the comfort of their own homes. Whether you’re looking to improve your sleep, refocus your diet, do a detox or extend your yoga practice, these five wellness retreats have been designed to improve your state of being this summer.
Pravassa Online Retreats
US-based Pravassa usually creates custom wellness-focused travel itineraries and immersive experiences for those who want to combine their love of travel with a focus on health. In response to the pandemic, though, the brand has launched an exclusive digital retreat series titled Wander Home.
There are five programmes in the series, each designed to target different wellness goals. “Ground In” is an introduction to wellness fundamentals; “Interdependence” is a more philosophical and spiritual retreat; “Food Health” addresses healthy eating habits; “Sound Sleep” is designed to help you get more better-quality rest; and “Grief” will help participants get through tough times.
Each programme will be offered at three different levels; each one will have different durations, price points and inclusions. The entry-level “Boutique” is a 48-hour retreat that includes recipes, video tutorials and some meditation and movement. The mid-tier “Luxury” offers an extended 72-hour immersion that includes all the Boutique’ offerings, along with one-on-one calls with coaches, meal deliveries (within the US), and curated gift bags. If you’re looking to really make a go of it, the “Premium” 72-hour retreats come with all the above and accommodation in a private villa near your location (within the US), meals prepared by a private chef and additional video tutorials.
“Boutique” costs US$95, the “Luxury” and “Premium” options are launching soon.
