1. It’s All About Wellness

There’s a new era in travel that has emerged in 2018, and it’s one that focuses on wellbeing and health. Spas and resorts don’t necessarily focus on treatments only nowadays, rather, they are creating a transformation that springboards vacationers into a higher-being of health, where a story of before and after is told. In a world where many are bombarded with bad news, stress, and social media negativity, resorts and cruises are creating enhancements to their spa packages to offer a variety of options to help vacationers learn how to eat healthier, with tips on true relaxation.

In addition, health and wellness destinations in the form of spa safaris and yoga retreats are an entity of their own in the travel world, offering specific activities to generate a positive impact on someone’s physical, emotional, and mental state.

A fine example is Six Senses Bhutan luxury resort, with locations popping up throughout the United States, Hong Kong, Germany, and other international locations, that offers vacation-goers an opportunity to refocus and reconnect within a natural environment to truly understand what really matters during a holiday; a chance to really relax.
