Wellness resorts are the perfect spots to cleanse your mind, body and soul. Whether you are longing to spend a week (or more) in nature or needing a complete reboot to your system, the Caribbean has wellness retreats where you can spend time doing exactly what you want to do.
Best of all, these resorts are located amongst lush and natural surroundings of the Caribbean, so even if you just need a week to yourself and completely shut off from the world, you’ll be able to do just that. Here’s a round up of six wellness resorts in the Caribbean.
Costa Rica
This eco-friendly wellness resort includes yoga retreats and yoga teacher training retreats, but there are also wellness retreats like Total Body and Mind Detox Retreat Program, which helps clear out emotional and mental blockages. A few highlights of what the package includes is local airfare from San Jose (SJO), 3 farm-to-table meals daily, twice daily organic juices, a detoxifying massage and so much more.
In your free time, you can spend your days chasing waterfalls or even gliding on kayaks through Costa Rican mangroves if you wish. You will truly get away from it all in the heart of Costa Rica.
While it is a yoga resort, this resort also has a 7-day Signature Retreat where guests can take part in daily yoga, meditation, surf lessons, fitness classes, salsa dancing and more amongst the beautiful surroundings of Costa Rica.
