Wellness Retreats: Best Destinations for a Rejuvenating Summer Holiday

Wellness has of late taken a new lease of life. While the term itself may have become a marketing buzzword or an overused trend on TikTok, there is no denying that wellness has indeed now been recognised as something of a necessity in life, especially for people in bustling cities working around the clock.

It comes as no surprise that wellness retreats and wellness-oriented holiday packages are gaining popularity. Now and then, it is important to disconnect from the digital world, get back in touch with your senses, and rejuvenate your soul.

This is perhaps why wellness centres and associated retreats are available even in the heart of a crowded city like Mumbai. However, the experience is way more wholesome and fulfilling when it is in an exotic location.

Here we explore five of the best destinations for wellness retreats, for a refreshing and rejuvenating summer holiday this year.
