Luxury Wellness And Fitness Retreats Launching In 2020, With Seclusion And Safety In Mind – Forbes

Socially-distanced relaxation at SHA Wellness in Alicante, Spain.

Perhaps National Relaxation Day (on the 15th) and National Wellness Month (all August long) should be taken a little more seriously this year.

The burnout was real in 2020. And while there are endless ways to unwind, recharge and indulge in some self-care, theres nothing quite like a luxury wellness retreat to truly escape the stressors of daily life. Relaxation is a great time to heal, assess our lifestyle choices and pinpoint which aspects of our health are in need of TLC. After months of shutdown, many luxury destinations are reopening as socially-distanced sanctuaries, with a ready-focus on wellness packages, meal plans with in-suite dining and fitness programs to help give us a jumpstart on our path to rejuvenation.

While most spas are operating on a limited menu of basic massage therapies, these hotels, resorts, and other venues have designed private spa packages and outdoor-centric experiences that naturally lend themselves to new health protocols, with social distancing and routine sanitization in mind. But before booking, make sure to track safety guidelines for reopening, as well as state-by-state travel restrictions, and keep your face mask just as handy as your yoga mat. In this new world of wellness travel, safety trumps self-pampering.

The Ranch Private is a tailored program ideal for those who wish to escape to nature.

After weeks of home isolation, people are ready to go outside and move their bodies, says Alex Glasscock, founder and CEO of The Ranch.
