Taking time for yourself has never been more important and travel is one of the best remedies. Maybe you have been thinking of heading to a wellness retreat to lose the "COVID 10" (as in those 10 extra pounds you gained during the peak of the pandemic) or reset your mind and body, but feel a full wellness retreat is too much for you right now. You also want to take time to relax, read a book, explore, and enjoy some great food. The good news is that there are resort properties that offer both options, located in beautiful settings to explore, relax, enjoy great dining experiences plus be pampered and renewed with wellness treatments and activities.
