After the indulgence of Christmas, millions of us make health-related New Year’s resolutions and vow to stick to strict diets and fitness regimes.
From hitting the gym to ditching the ready meals, detoxing is top of the agenda for success as we move into 2018. But despite good intentions, we know that you sometimes need a bit of extra motivation to really achieve those goals and we’ve found the perfect way to get it.
Wellness retreats and hotels specialising in healthy eating are on the rise and here at Destination2, we’ve picked out some of our absolute favourites to show how you can enjoy a luxurious holiday and get started on your health goals at the same time.
This five-star retreat ticks all the boxes for the ultimate wellness holiday to help you feel rejuvenated and healthy after those heavy Christmas meals. The all-inclusive beachfront resort makes pampering an everyday experience as you’ll enjoy an indulgent spa treatment every day you stay. Their five onsite restaurants include AAA Diamond Awarded Tao and I-Tal, a healthy eating concept based on their on-site garden. Here, you can assist the chefs and learn how to cook a healthy vegan meal with freshly picked ingredients.
However, it’s not just about pampering. If you want to get fit and have fun, there is a huge variety of activities to choose from including water sports, beach games, yoga and fitness classes. Whether you’re looking for a spot of pampering or an active break to invigorate your fitness goals, we think the BodyHoliday resort looks like the perfect spot.
