Well Traveled: 9 Wellness Destinations to Visit in 2024

Joel BEING

In an effort to see our new year’s resolutions last through, well, February 1st, we’ve been hard at work researching how experts stay strong. Our favorite health hack yet? Booking a wellness getaway. And while it’s not technically a health expert approved strategy (we didn’t say we were asking health experts), it makes sense. Think of it as a treat, opportunity to reset, jumpstart to holistic health goals, or all of the above. 

In that vein, we’ve compiled a bucket list of sorts: places Editor Catherine Lowe and Digital Director Makenzi Hogan have bookmarked for a 2024 reset (or two). Bon Voyage!

civana

CIVANA

Phoenix & Scottsdale Member | 37220 Mule Train Road, Carefree, AZ | @civanaresort | Tucked among 20+ acres of succulent-studded Sonoran Desert, CIVANA is a destination wellness resort offering a path to a happier, healthier you through its four pillars: Movement, Spa, Nourishment, and Discovery. Enjoy daily sweat and meditation, curated personal growth + discovery content, outdoor adventures, and access to world-renowned wellness guides + healers – all in one stunning setting. A quick 45-minute flight, CIVANA is a no-brainer weekend getaway for West Coast residents.

JOALI BEING

Bodufushi Island, Maldives | @joalibeing | The Maldives first dedicated wellness destination, Joali BEING is, by all accounts, incredible. Balancing luxury and wellness, Joel BEING delivers a world-class wellness experience designed by a Harvard-trained expert on traditional and integrative medicine that, thankfully, still feels like a holiday. Enjoy a personal butler, a world-class wellness complex, a stunning setting, and much, much more.

LAKE AUSTIN SPA 

12611 Riverbend Road, Lake Austin, TX | @lakeaustinspa | Lake Austin Spa is an all-inclusive, adults-only spa hidden away in the Texas Hill Country just outside of, you guessed it, Austin. Here, luxury meets a well-rounded approach to wellness that draws heavily upon lakeside life. Enjoy lake activities by morning and spa treatments by afternoon. Makenzi’s Tip: Book a stay downtown a few days before check-in at Lake Austin Spa to indulge in Austin’s quintessential delights (and Scouted Favorites): queso, margaritas, and late nights. 

Lanserhof Lans

LANSERHOF LANS

Kochholzweg 153, 6072 Lans, Austria | @lanserhof | Lanserhof Lans is an iconic wellness destination rooted in the Lanserhof Concept: the idea that the body can be regenerated through detoxification, purification, and de-acidification. Stays start at 7-days, during which your attending physician will develop a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy tailored to your individual needs and goals. It’s an intensive, interdisciplinary approach or those who are serious about their health.

Miraval Berkshires

MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES RESORT & SPA 

55 Lee Road, Lenox, MA | @miravalberkshires | From the acclaimed wellness group comes Miraval Berkshires, a seasonally-inspired immersive retreat with an impressive lineup of wellness activities (think sound baths to wellness counseling). Best known for its breathwork sessions, Ayurveda treatments, and a custom-built, vibrational sound chamber, Miraval Berkshires the perfect place to unwind. We’re thinking an October trip to pair a wellness reset with a seasonal fix. Yyou know, see some leaves change in fall for once.

Sensei Lanai

SENSEI LĀNA‘I

1 Keomoku Highway, Lanai City, HI | @fslanai | Sensei Lāna‘i marries the unmatched luxury hospitality of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, the world-renowned cuisine of Nobu Masuhisa, and an experiential wellness program designed by best-in-class practitioners. A private spa, the expansive property creates an unparalleled wellbeing retreat that’s just another excuse to head to Hawaii. 

The Ranch Malibu

THE RANCH MALIBU 

12220 Cotharin Road, Malibu, CA | @theranchmalibu | With week-long luxury bootcamps in the mountains of Malibu, The Ranch helps facilitate powering down, letting go of stress, and breaking less-than-healthy habits of the day-to-day to restore balance through exercise, diet, massage, and rest. Looking to put a little more distance between you and your everyday? Opt for The Ranch Hudson Valley, opening Spring 2024. 

The Rooster Antiparos

THE ROOSTER

Livadia Bay, Antiparos 840 07, Greece | @therooster.antiparos | For those who want to pair privacy with their wellness journey, Antiparos is the ideal destination. It also happens to be stunning. And while the locale – and its luxe amenities are certainly a draw – The Rooster is definitively rooted in wellness. Expect morning Kundalini yoga, Qigong, sound healing, meditation, fantastic plant-based menu, and Ayurvedic spa treatments. And since you’re already in Greece, you might as well tack on a week or two exploring the islands.

Thyme

THYME

Southrop Manor Estate, England, United Kingdom | @thyme.england | For anglophiles on a wellness kick, the family-owned and operated Thyme fits the bill. Situated on a 150-acre estate in the Cotswolds, Thyme delivers award-winning range of body and facial treatments, formulated in conjunction with in-house beauty brand, Bertioli. It’s sumptuous, intentional, and idyllic.
