Wellness Travel Ideas for Wellness Month and Year-Round Retreats

Although National Wellness Month concludes in August, exceptional wellness experiences are available year-round at luxury properties around the world. Consider these destinations for a restorative stay in September or any other time of year:

Magma Resort Santorini

The resort’s 4,600-square-foot Lava Spa is the largest subterranean spa on Santorini. Guests can swim in the indoor pool and choose treatments inspired by local traditions: a sea foam massage, an algae slimming therapy or a shell massage, each designed to revive the body and calm the mind.

Marina Fiesta Resort & Spa

At Amura Spa in Cabo San Lucas, treatments draw from the local seaside setting. The Seaweed and Energy Facial blends seaweed, quartz and mineral-rich ingredients to refresh and restore skin. The Seashells of the Desert ritual uses warmed seashells combined with minerals, algae, salt water and essential oils to relax muscles and promote circulation.

Vista Encantada

Vista Encantada in Cabo San Lucas is home to Milagro Wellness Spa, where wellness offerings are rooted in Mexican traditions. One signature experience is the Temazcal, a ceremonial steam ritual that draws on the elemental forces of water, fire, air and earth to cleanse and renew body, mind and spirit.

Yi Hotel Mykonos

Located on Elia Beach and opened in June 2023, Yi Hotel Mykonos features Oasis Spa, where treatments are inspired by the classical elements—earth, wind, fire and water. Choose a detox program that incorporates 24-karat gold, aloe vera and calendula extracts for a luxurious, skin-renewing experience.

Each of these properties blends local culture and natural ingredients into thoughtfully designed wellness programs. Whether you prefer hydrotherapy, traditional rituals or modern facial and body treatments, these spas offer soothing, professionally guided experiences to support long-term wellbeing.
