From ayurvedic immsersion to high-tech extravagance, these new wellness openings are raising the bar.
Wellness retreats have come a long way since the days of austere ashrams and militant-minded boot camps. These days, you can reset your mind and body in five-star resorts that draw on both cutting-edge science and ancient healing practices to leave you feeling renewed. Whether you’re craving some serious pampering or a serious detox, you have more options than ever before both close to home and in far-flung locales.
The newest wellness openings are raising the bar, offering everything from rooms designed for optimal sleep to the latest bio hacks and unbelievably good food. From an intimate ayurvedic hotel in the Italian Alps to an extravagant spa in Las Vegas that turns the ancient art of sauna into a performance, here are 10 retreats to bookmark for when you need a health boost.
1 Hotel Hanalei Bay — Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi
With its biophilic design and unbeatable location perched above lovely Hanalei Bay, this 1 Hotel is an oasis of tranquility. You could craft a DIY wellness stay that taps into surfing, paddle boarding, the Bamford Spa, the pro-athlete-worthy Anatomy gym, hyperlocal dining outlets, and an on-site outpost of functional medicine center, Vitahealth Precision Wellbeing. Or you could be guided by your own Wellness Sage if you book one of the hotel’s new Within Journeys. These four- and seven-night programs have been built around themes like renewal and nourishment and include IV vitamin treatments, spa therapies, and use of cutting-edge equipment like an ocean float room that promotes relaxation and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Some immersions include one-on-one personal training and off-property experiences, like farm tours. No matter the theme you choose, your room will be outfit with wellness-boosting amenities such as an Infrared PEMF, Normatec compression boots, and healing crystals.
