The phrase "I need a vacation from my vacation" exists for a reason. Not every holiday is a relaxing one, and that's fine - plenty of trips (with young kids, for example) are busy, chaotic and absolutely joyful.
Sometimes, however, you need a different kind of trip. The kind that puts your physical, mental and spiritual well-being above all else, asking you each and every morning: "What would you like to do today?" The kind of holiday you've always wanted, but have been profoundly talented at putting off.
Well, the excuses end here. Whether you're envisioning serious spa time or a more intensive experience with one-on-one guidance, we've found three resorts that are ideal for putting you - imagine that! - front and center.
Enchantment Resort
Sedona is iconic on many levels; it's not just the staggering beauty of its red rocks, or how those shades of red drift up into the sky at dusk. It's also the way this region inspires a sense of calm and possibility, which is exactly the feeling you'll get at Enchantment Resort.
Tucked in at the base of Boynton Canyon, this secluded resort and spa has something for everyone when it comes to wellness. Its casita guest rooms and suites feature private patios, cozy fireplaces and beautiful Southwestern designs - the perfect place for resting between the resort's extensive selection of offerings. Some days you'll partake in morning yoga, canyon walks and private sessions with experts on stress management, nutrition or sleep. Other days you'll stop by The Trail House to chat with an expert guide about navigating the area's 300 miles of scenic trails. Perhaps another day might be dedicated entirely to a reiki massage, signature facial and jojoba butter wrap in the spa.
Regardless of how you work up your appetite, it will be satiated at the resort's Che Ah Chi restaurant, which sources many of its ingredients from local Native American purveyors. Fuel up with dishes like quinoa bowls; special freshly-pressed juice blends; tonics for wellness, sleep and energy; and char-grilled bison tenderloin.
Eden Roc Miami Beach Hotel
Open since the 1950's, Eden Roc Miami Beach Hotel's glamorous tone was first set by Old Hollywood, and it's only grown more alluring in the decades since. While it may not seem obvious at first, this Miami Beach hotel's enviable pool and spa - not to mention incredible food - make for an ideal place to spend a weekend of wellness in the city.
In fact, Miami loves a spa so much, they've dedicated 62 days of the year to them! The city's annual 'Spa Months' run during July and August, and Eden Roc Miami Beach Hotel's Esencia Spa always joins in.
Esencia's 22,000 square foot space is crafted entirely around the concept of holistic wellness, meaning you'll have access to a custom scrub bar, hydrotherapy circuit with whirlpools, sauna, treatments like the "Keep Calm" full body massage and much more. Post-treatment, wander into the Relaxation Room for gorgeous ocean views and plenty more time spent lounging in your robe.
When not at the spa, relax in the comfort of a shaded cabana next to one of the resort's three crystal-clear pools. For many, this is the very definition of wellness: a morning of pampering followed by avocado pizza, glasses of fros? and the summer's hottest beach read by a pool. Enjoy.
Sensei Lana'i, A Four Seasons Resort
If your wellness bucket list includes a more secluded retreat, Hawaii's luxurious Sensei L?na?i, a Four Seasons Resort is an ideal destination. In collaboration with the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Sensei L?na?i, has brought some of the world's premiere wellness practitioners to the beautiful and remote Hawaiian island of L?na?i; there, through the use of innovative technology and evidence-based practices, they've created a multi-faceted experience like no other.
Sensei L?na?i, a Four Seasons Resort offers holistic wellness journeys that are tailored to each guest's particular needs. That means one-on-one sessions with experts - the first of which will help you set personal goals and intentions - and endless encouragement toward self-discovery through a wide variety of practices.
Those include things like aquatic bodywork, during which a therapist leads you through a series of water-based stretches, massages, joint mobilizations and shiatsu. You might also learn tools for managing anxiety; be guided in an "open sky meditation"; breathe in the island's clean, sweet air while you forest bathe; hike to see the infinite views from Koloiki Ridge; horseback ride along the beaches of L?na?i; and much more.
