Jetting to Wellness: The Rise of Private Travel to Luxury Health Retreats in India and Abroad

Send Push
How many times have you come? Back tired from a holiday? The late-night partying, consumption without count, dancing away that leaves you drained, sleep deficit causing brain fog, and being among more people are things that regular so-called holidays give you.

Enter luxury health retreats , a new paradigm of enhancing peace, health, joy, and productivity without giving up the pleasures or meaningful social interactions. Starting from a professional consultation with a qualified doctor, health retreats identify the areas that need improvement. Then a bespoke curated program is put together that includes luxurious massages, deep meditations and breathwork, mindful movements with yoga and Tai Chi, conscious relaxation in the lap of nature, anti-inflammatory plant-based seasonal and organic food, sessions with qualified counselors, spiritual insights from inside gurus and sleep hacks by aligning with circadian rhythms. All of this without compromising on accommodations that are thoughtfully designed for one to look inwards with finishes in earthy tones, Earth-friendly toiletries, orthopedic mattresses and pillows, and conscious digital decoupling with books replacing televisions. The result is often a rebooted version of you, brimming with energy, calm, poise, improved relationships, and brilliant ideas.


With the rise in incomes, India is the home of many, with the latest being Swastik Wellbeing Sanctuary , where evidence-based modalities, Indian hospitality, nature, and immersive experiences invite you to leave for more. Internationally, while Asia has been the leader for health retreats that are focused on natural healing, the ones in the West focus more on equipment-based health enhancement. India combines the two. Single and women-only groups have been the earliest to catch on to this concept of holidays with benefits . Families have also embraced private travel to health retreats to not only improve wellbeing but also strengthen family bonds. With so many advantages, health retreats are the way forward. So plan now.
