Best wellness holidays in Tenerife
Tenerife is blessed with all year round sunshine making it a popular winter sun destination for all ages. Split between the north and the south of the island, Tenerife’s wellness offering goes further than the typical yoga spa retreats, with hidden pockets of calm dotted across the island’s lunar style volcanic landscape. Tenerife offers a unique connection with nature that is hard to find in fitness resorts or other touristic hotspots and it certainly helps to aid the disconnection process. Be sure to travel to El Teide at night to gaze at the expansive night sky and make a wish upon a shooting star. Or, if connecting with nature means getting active then venture to the Anaga mountains to hike through the fairytale forest. Those who are in search of affordable fitness resorts that offer a fear busting, adrenaline rush could check out the island’s popular rock climbing routes, surf beaches or even take to the sky for a paraglide ride. Once the island has been explored from top to bottom, let weary legs guide you to one of the luxury wellness resorts in Tenerife for some much needed pampering time.
Healthy vacations in Mexico

Here time stands still, offering the perfect setting to rest and unwind or for a spot of meditation in the mountains. Of course, no trip to Mexico is complete without visiting the iconic ruins such as the Mayan temple of Chichén Itzá, one of the seven modern marvels of the world. Here you can walk around this sacred space soaking up the views or rest on one of the grassy areas and practice some yoga. Before heading home, venture to Tulum, the home of slow living in Mexico and discover the range of healing resorts to visit.
