The codes of conventional vacations are witnessing steady evolution with more and more individuals and families wanting to indulge in wellness holidays instead. So, what exactly are wellness holidays? They are basically a harmonious blend of relaxing, invigorating and enlightening routines offered in a retreat that allows you to experience wholesome mind – body detoxification. Given the nature of Wellness holidays, it is very necessary that you make well informed plans before embarking on your trip and here is a quick guide that can help you in this direction...
Pick a retreat –
To experience perfect wellness vacations, it is imperative that you book a proper recognized wellness retreat. Any odd hotel or resort will not be equipped to offer the exclusive healthful and mindful programs that wellness retreats are particularly designed to offer. For absolute first timers, contacting the best travel agency for international customized holidays is highly recommended, mostly because they can handpick the most suitable destinations and packages that cater to your individual needs and budget as well.
Sign up for activities –
Activities in a wellness holiday have got nothing to do with sightseeing, shopping, clubbing etc. Once you check in, you will go through pre planned and timed activities that are solely aimed at helping you disconnect with the unnecessary humdrum of daily life and reconnect with your inner being.
Therefore, the activities that you can expect in a wellness holiday would include Yoga, meditation, therapeutic massage, Reiki / Crystal healing, guided meditations, discourses on right eating practices, learning better communication skills, boot camps etc.
In certain exotic locations like wellness holidays in India, you can also experience the magical impact of Ayurvedic therapies, clear your mind with Vedic chants and learn Kalari (ancient Indian Martial Art form) as well. There is no end to what you can learn in your retreat. However, you may be required to book your activities beforehand, because there is only so much you can possibly accommodate in 24 hours.
Fancy clothes and makeup can take a back seat –
Wellness vacations are not about anything materialistic. Here, you don’t need to worry about how you look and how people will judge you in the social media based on what you wear, how you pout and your luxury shopping list. Therefore, things like fancy clothes, makeup, expensive hair styling kits etc can be left out of your packing list. In fact, many certified retreats for wellness holidays in India and across the world offer comfortable uniforms to their guests that need to be worn throughout the session.
Once you have picked your retreat, signed up for the activities you wish to participate in and packed accordingly, you will need to organise the basic requirements like your passports, travel documents, currencies and medications (if any). The rest is assured to open you up to a journey you only wish you had experienced long before.
