A spa and infrared sauna in Bali? Tai-chi, meditation and yoga in Portugal?

Whatever takes your fancy, in 2017, there is probably a wellness retreat that suits the way you like to relax and unwind. According to Tom Marchant, the co-founder of a travel company called Black Tomato, in an interview with CNN journalist, Nora Zelevansky, there has been an increase in retreats focusing on mindfulness and emotional well-being.

Many wellness holiday packages focus on good nutrition, gentle sport and beauty treatments like daily massage and skin rejuvenation. Not just away to escape the stresses of work and family life, they also support the lifestyles and goals of those for whom health and fitness is always a priority.
