Off-the-Beaten-Path Destinations for Wellness, Mindfulness & Deep Relaxation
The Art of Getting Away
Some places you visit. Others change you.
The kind of change that lingers long after the tan fades—the mind-expanding, soul-reviving, “why-didn’t-I-do-this-sooner?” kind of travel.
If that’s the escape you crave—one where luxury is more than infinity pools and thread counts (though let’s be honest, those don’t hurt)—here are three destinations that promise to redefine the way you travel.
The question is: How do you want to feel?
