If you’re looking for a wellness retreat that will exercise both your mind and your body, then a yoga retreat could be just what the doctor ordered. Often set in tranquil natural settings, yoga retreats offer an escape from the busy everyday life. Depending on your level of practice, you can choose between beginner, intermediate, and advanced yoga retreats, as well as various styles of yoga.  
Natural hot springs are known for their therapeutic and healing properties. Not only do you get to soak in hot water while being surrounded by nature, you reap the health benefits, too. Bathing in a hot spring has been known to support blood circulation, ease aches and pains, naturally detox and hydrate your skin, and alleviate stress. 
Spa resorts offer a range of pampering treatments such as massages, facials, and body wraps, as well as access to saunas, steam rooms, and other relaxation facilities to rejuvenate the body and mind.  
Whether it's watching wildlife outside your window, scenic trails, cooking under the stars, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet, a cosy cabin in the woods is the perfect way to immerse yourself in nature.  
Become at one with nature in your very own treehouse. Being immersed in nature helps to reduce stress, boost mood, and foster a sense of well-being. You'll feel like a bird in the trees, and you can enjoy jaw-dropping views by just looking out your window.

If you are looking to get in shape and improve your physical health, a fitness-focused retreat might be just the thing for you. Activities may include group fitness classes, personal training sessions, and outdoor adventures such as hiking, running, swimming, or cycling. Some retreats also offer healthy meal plans and nutrition coaching.  
Digital detox holidays allow you to take a break from technology, replacing mindless scrolling with mindful connection with nature and the great outdoors.
