7 Affordable wellness retreats in Asia for a spiritual escape
Whether you’re a yoga or meditation enthusiast, these wallet-friendly wellness retreats are definitely the spiritual healing you need.
Yoga retreats, detox retreats, yoga retreats – you’ve probably heard them all.
‘Wellness retreats’, as we generally call it, are certainly a growing health and travel trend. After all, its appeal in our 21st-century context makes sense. It’s the perfect antithesis to our ultra-modern, ultra-fast, and (at times) ultra-disconnected daily lives.
And if you’re wondering what a ‘wellness retreat’ actually entails, it’s exactly what you think it is: a ‘retreat’ that lets you step back from the daily humdrum of life and attend to your holistic well-being instead
Not to be confused with the increasing number of hotels branding themselves as ‘wellness hotels’, a health retreat is a curated programme of therapies, guided by health and fitness experts. These can range yoga, meditation, and detox, and can be specifically designed around couples, self-discovery and more.
Good news for us living in Asia: there is no need for us to splurge on traveling to far-flung corners of the globe for a dose of spiritual healing (thankfully). While wellness retreats are often a luxury, there are options available here that are a little friendlier to the wallet.
So if you’ve been feeling tired, uninspired, and desperately in need of a break from your routine, head up to our gallery above.
