Increasingly, holidaymakers are viewing their time away as a chance, not just for a pleasant experience, but for a physical and mental reset. If you’re looking for a wellness-focused break, then there’s every reason to suppose that Europe is the best place to enjoy it, thanks to a wealth of suitable escapes based around health, nature, and wellbeing.
Alpine Retreats for Mind–Body Renewal
The Alps are filled with retreats, thanks to the natural qualities, and reputation, of the region. The views are often extraordinary; the mountain air is clear, crisp, and invigorating; the infrastructure is well-developed. You’ll find a number of facilities providing cutting-edge treatments, as well as more traditional ones that incorporate natural elements.Austria is home to a number of excellent candidates. You might look into the Mount Med Resort, in Oberau, or the Naturhotel Forsthofgut, in Leogang.
Mediterranean Sunshine Destinations
A trip to Southern Europe is often viewed as a sensible antidote to the winter blues. The endless, year-round sunshine is just the thing to bolster your mood and the presence of the Mediterranean sea makes many of the region’s wellness resorts irresistible. You might indulge in yoga along the seafront, or spend a few hours basking in a hotel spa. Check out the MasQi, in the Serra de Mariola, or the San Montano Resort, in Ischia.Thermal Spa Regions with Historic Healing Traditions
There’s a certain kind of geographic feature that’s provided relaxation and therapy since long before electric heating came along. Find a region with plenty of geothermal activity, like Hungary or Italy, and you’ll find a thriving culture of traditional spas. These regions, not coincidentally, also tend to be quite scenic, and home to some of the best walking holidays Europe has to offer.Luxury Wellness Escapes for Complete Rejuvenation
If you’re looking to completely rejuvenate your body and mind, and you have the budget for a luxury break, then a number of the continent’s premium-level retreats might capture your attention. These retreats, at their best, will provide not just an experience, but an education. You’ll be given guidance on lifestyle and nutrition that will support your health not just during your break, but long after you’ve arrived back in the UK.If you want to push the boat out, then it’s difficult to look beyond the famous Kimpton Atlântico, in Portugal’s Algarve.
