Go for a Wellness Holiday to Bali
The term “wellness holiday” is often heard these days, but few know what it means. We lead hectic lives these days with stressful schedules, leaving little to no time for relaxation. A wellness holiday ensures all tension drains away, so you feel rejuvenated and energized, while providing expert health and lifestyle advice so that you return home to lead a happier and healthier life.
So, what is a wellness vacation?
With the ever-increasing awareness of health and the need to stay fit, mentally and physically, wellness holidays have grown hugely popular. The main element of this type of healthy holiday is choice: there are a huge range of programs available designed to help you improve your well-being all of which can be tailored to suit your individual needs. Through a combination of exercise, activity and relaxation treatments, your natural balance is re-aligned, while your well-being significantly improves. You can expect a personalized mix of yoga, Pilates, fitness training, cleansing diets, massages, treatments, lifestyle advice, outdoor activities and cultural excursions to help create a renewed and healthier you. Wellness holidays not only combat health issues such as stress and anxiety, but also treat a wide range of specific problems such as weight management or detox.
Why opt for wellness holidays in Bali?
Bali has some of the best wellness retreats in the world, so instead of a guilt-inducing holiday spent over-indulging, go for a luxury health retreat to give your body the best present it has had in a long time. We welcome the relaxation time that a holiday promises, but on a health retreat you gain the opportunity not only to rejuvenate, but the chance to take charge of your neglected well-being goals, and return home with benefits that will long outlast your tan.
Take a look at why wellness breaks in Bali are an excellent idea:
Focus on healthy goals
Disconnect from the distractions of modern-day life and find the inspiration you need to reach your goals with the guidance of health and fitness professionals. Health retreats offer a range of wellness programs including weight loss, detox, anti-ageing, stress relief, and sleep well packages, so that you can return home new person with fresh motivation.
Try new things
Going on a vacation means getting the chance to experience something new and exciting. If you are skeptical about Bali retreats not being much thrilling, it is assuredly not so. You will be asked to take part in activities that could be new to you, such as physical fitness, mental exploration, and emotional introspection. The only distinction is retreat activities are specifically geared toward enhancing your personal wellbeing. Bali retreats provide an amazing chance to shape up. It won’t feel tedious or tiring – in fact, you will really enjoy it!
Indulge in guilt-free food
Healthy holidays help to maximize weight loss via dietary procedures like detoxing, macrobiotic diets, and juice diets. Enjoy cleansing your body with the rich nutritious food provided on wellness retreats to banish toxins and help aid weight loss. It is time you reward your body at a luxury health retreat (Bali) by cutting out the unhealthy options, so you return home healthier than before.
Heal using natural wonders
Your surroundings are completely natural meaning that the destination of your wellness retreat is often beautiful and untouched. This gives you the chance to reconnect with nature while reaping the benefits for yourself. In the pandemonium of everyday life, it is easy to lose touch with the wonders of Mother Nature, but health retreats offer the perfect opportunity to do so. There are meditation, yoga, and spa treatments, to help you feel at peace with yourself.
Experience benefits that last long
Health retreats leave you with a healthy afterglow lasting for weeks as healthy holidays provide you with the motivation needed to continue your regime at home. The knowledge that you get from a wellness retreat will improve your long-term health and stay with you for years to come. Health retreats also teach you how to separate your work life stresses from your personal life, giving you a new perspective of life.
In addition to offering you an escape from a tiresome routine, retreats set themselves apart from mere vacations due to the specific intent behind them. This intent can be an issue that you wish to focus on but don’t get time for, a recent experience that you want to reflect on or talk about with people who understand what you’re going through, the quest for some distance from your current situation to think clearly and bring things into perspective, or simply quality time with yourself and nature so you can rejuvenate.
Moreover, all aspects of retreats including location, accommodation, food, facilities, professional consultation, and activities/exercises, are all in line with what you are seeking to achieve; hence, the benefits of retreats are much more impactful and long-lasting as opposed to vacations where you are more apt to binge, gossip, and probably still spend time finishing work.
Healthy change from everyday routine
It is very easy to get absorbed into a routine and neglect relaxation within our schedule, whereas health retreats can be life enhancing, as they are often in locations which enable you to disconnect from technology, meaning that you will have to neglect your calls, texts and emails. Through doing this you can relax a lot more easily and detach from the pressures of your everyday life from your time away, to help inspire you to becoming healthier, happier and stronger.
Help you to break old habits
Whether you find you are overindulging at mealtimes, or smoking during your lunch break, these health retreats will help you to kick out your bad habits. When you’re in such a peaceful environment and are following a planned schedule, you won’t be able to continue your normal routine. By doing something completely new you will have the chance to break your old habits and instead form new ones, like yoga and meditation.
Get to know new people
Did you know that people choose to go on a group health retreat so they are not alone and can enjoy the company of other solo travelers on a singles holiday? Health retreats therefore give you a great opportunity to meet like-minded people who may have similar goals to yourself, providing you with further motivation. It also encourages you to broaden your horizon and step out of your comfort zone by interacting with those you may not normally speak to in everyday life.
Concentrate on “relaxation”
Because we are so absorbed in technology today, we sometimes find ourselves struggling to maintain a healthy work life balance. We often find we are replying to emails or calling clients hours after we have left the office. On r health retreats you are in new surroundings where the idyllic scenery helps to relax your mind and body, to encourage restoration and relaxation.
Help to develop positive attitude
On a health retreat you are encouraged to gather your thoughts, and you will find that when your mind is relaxed you are able to be more creative. The natural surroundings help take your mind away from any harmful energy that might be in your life, so that you can release all the negativity and instead focus on more positive thoughts by looking after your mind, body and soul.
Retreats appeal to everyone
Everyone can take part in a health retreat and customize it to suit their own needs. Whether you are stressed from work, a sufferer of digestive problems, someone who wants to lose weight or simply wants a healthy getaway with a difference; health retreats are the perfect way to reconnect with nature and leave your troubles behind.
Your health improves a lot
Many of us come home from vacation happy but a bit foggy. Maybe we ate too much, drank excessively, stayed out very later, etc… At a wellness retreat, you return home in better shape, physically, mentally and emotionally. Over the course of such health retreats, people experience improvements in blood pressure, weight loss, better sleeping habits, reduced cravings, lower anxiety and a host of other tangible results. Moreover, yoga retreats are known to provide relief to patients of respiratory problems, anxiety, bone thinning, high blood pressure, arthritis, incontinence, and rheumatism, along with several other ailments.
Food and accommodations are amazing
Bad food and creepy hotels are top culprits when it comes to ruined vacations. Unlike a conventional vacation, at a wellness retreat, your comfort is a top priority. Retreat sites are usually selected due to their charming location and upscale amenities. These locations are selected to soothe your soul as you go through personal change.
Another great wellness retreat delight is service from the group’s personal chef. Food is the body’s most important fuel, so retreat chefs are well-versed in preparing delectable dishes based on healthy, fresh ingredients. Not only will you feast on delicious meals throughout your stay, you will learn how to select the right food and prepare delicious healthy meals on your own back at home.
Gives you a chance to be kind to yourself
Vacation planning can be stressful, and so can the holiday itself. Keeping track of schedules, confirming reservations, and catching the plane, shuttle, ferry or taxi on time can wear you down; precisely during the period you have set aside to relax.
A wellness retreat is all about focusing on solely on YOU! Daily itineraries, mealtimes and activities are planned for you in advance, so you don’t have to worry about details. Instead, you get to spend your time immersed in activities that span the entire range of emotions, from high adrenalin to pure relaxation. Prioritizing your own well-being might be a big departure for you on vacation, or in life.
