Friday, August 2, 2024 National Wellness Month, celebrated each August by hospitality destinations worldwide, offers travelers a chance to experience various healthy activities. These can include group yoga classes, pickleball lessons, individual weight training, nutritional guidance, hiking, and much more. According to Anne Dimon, owner/editor of Travel to Wellness and President/CEO of the Wellness Tourism Association, the key to traveling with a wellness purpose is for travelers to clearly identify their wellness intentions, motivations, and ultimate goals.
Whether the trip aims to maintain a healthy lifestyle, make healthier food choices, or develop a sustainable fitness routine, the destination should have the necessary staff and facilities to help achieve these goals. This recently opened all-inclusive wellness retreat in Bayfield, Wisconsin’s smallest town, is hosting several guided retreats during National Wellness Month. The resort features 19 beautiful glamping units, including The RicePod (a modern, tiny house-like dwelling), Nests (high-end retreat-in-nature lodging with lake views), and the TreeHause with four bedrooms and private baths.
The all-inclusive wellness experience includes “Nourishment, Movement and Expression” retreats from licensed practitioners, featuring activities like jewelry making, prose writing, photography, yoga, and more. Health-conscious meals and drinks are also included, along with access to the retreat’s sauna and meditation space.
