“Wellness Escapes” from Lonely Planet

Since the time of the Roman Baths, people have travelled for health and relaxation. According to the Global Wellness Institute, wellness tourism is the fastest-growing travel sector. For travellers seeking self-care, global travel authority Lonely Planet has published Wellness Escapes – a guide to wellness getaways around the world. From yoga retreats in India to hot spring resorts in Australia to Buddhist meditation temples in Korea, readers can now discover 200 of the most inspiring ways to replenish mind, body and soul.

Wellness Escapes features five chapters corresponding to five different themes: Active, Calm, Healthy, Indulged and Inspired. Whether readers are in the mood for mindfulness or spa treatments, surfing in Morocco or seaweed baths in Ireland, there’s a getaway for it. Lonely Planet travel experts offer the inside scoop on what makes each wellness retreat unique, and of course ways to explore the region beyond it.

Want to bring the wellness experience home? Between chapters, Wellness Escapes includes diagrams on popular yoga and meditation techniques, as well as healthy smoothie recipes to whip up in your own kitchen.
