Berenice Bejo likes to indulge in a spa vacation

For some it’s adventure that gives them the kicks, for many it is vacation and rejuvenation that go hand in hand. And now spas have become central to choosing holiday destinations. There are myriad choices spanning from traditional rejuvenation rituals to swanky wellness programmes.

Jiva spa spokesperson shares how more and more people are taking time off to make the best of their holiday by choosing destinations that weave in spa treatments into their itineraries.

Spa retreat
There has been a shift in attitudes towards holidays these days as life seems to be speeding up and becoming more stressful. Travellers realise the need to invest in their health and work-life balance even if it means taking time out to spoil themselves to bits. Spas have gained importance to restore the balance within and unfold the holistic path of life that opens the channels to nurture ones’ life force.

Tailor-made to refresh you
The trend of clubbing holidays and spa retreats is more so among couples who pick wellness packages at different locations to save time on vacations, and also to recover from the hectic holiday itself. Spa holidays can be tailor-made to fit individual requirements, right from the stay to the cuisine that is wholesome and nurturing, ensuring that your wellbeing is in expert hands.

Indulge in some luxury
Bonding over indulgent therapies, couples also rediscover their inner selves along with pursuing pleasure. The Indian spa industry is increasing every year, and India is fast becoming one of the most popular spa destinations in the world. Reflecting that trend, there are a growing number of foreign and domestic tourists visiting spas for relaxation and treatments. Besides Bekal and other cities in Kerala and Himalayas for Indian rejuvenation, the other unique and upcoming spa destinations include the Caribbean, Maldives, Malaysia and Hawaii for their exotic locales and some of the best spa therapies.

Recharge your batteries
With wellness having taken center stage, it comes as no surprise then that a wellness holiday offers a bouquet of benefits - it satiates your wanderlust, detoxes the body, and sets your spirit free.
