Best Time to Visit Bali for Wellness 

Our Wellness Travel specialists recommend planning your dream vacation to Bali in the dry season, which spans from April to October. These months offer the best weather for a luxury wellness retreat where you can indulge in beach yoga, fitness classes, and diving retreats. However, the wet season does have its charms, often accompanied by a more affordable price point and a more intimate private setting. If you don’t mind indoor spa sanctuaries and heavy tropical rainfall, it’s still a soothing break to consider. 

No matter when you visit, Bali’s breathtaking landscapes, nourishing cuisine, and world-class spiritual offerings promise an unforgettable luxury wellness vacation. It’s a rejuvenating destination that leaves every U.S. traveller feeling balanced, inspired, and deeply restored.

The benefits of going on a solo wellness retreat are endless; it isn’t simply a holiday, it’s a rare opportunity to be indulgently selfish and prioritise yourself to the core. Discover parts of yourself that daily life keeps hidden and relax in the luxury of your own company whilst striving towards your wellness goals. Whether you’re seeking deep restoration, transformative self-discovery, or the motivation to reach your fitness potential, a solo wellness retreat offers an unapologetic focus on you. Here are six compelling reasons why your next wellness escape should be a solo journey, and how it could just change everything.  

Wellness Reimagined Just for You  

On a solo retreat, you’re the star of the show, do what you want, when you want. There's no polite people pleasing; the bliss of a solo retreat is in its bespoke personalisation to you. Our array of medical spa retreats in Europe utilises comprehensive diagnostics and in-depth analysis to curate an itinerary of spa therapies and treatments that align precisely to your body's unique biochemistry, health history and aspirations. Where solo retreats truly shine is in purpose-built, gender focused programmes: women’s retreats that address menopause with expertise, and mens health retreats that uncover the wellness insights you didn’t even realise you needed. This is wellness at its peak, a journey that is transformatively yours.  

Learn More About Yourself  

A solo wellness retreat is the perfect opportunity to explore yourself more deeply and cultivate greater self-awareness. Ascertain body and mind synergy with a mindfulness retreat, and explore your inner soul through focused breathwork sessions at sunrise. As afternoons slow to a luxurious rhythm, explore what genuinely calls to you. Perhaps that book you've been meaning to read for months, or the meditative flow of yoga in open-air pavilions where you set the pace. Use this solitude to its full potential and envision your long-term wellness goals without compromise. With the guidance of a life coaching retreat, set your intentions that will linger long after you return home. Within your own company, you don’t just unwind, you reconnect with the version of yourself that feels truest, and give it space to grow.  

Unplug and Destress  

Indulge in pure silence, where the only disturbance is nature’s gentle song. A solo wellness retreat offers the rare luxury of going completely off-grid with a digital detox and discovering what happens to your brain and body without your screen. In this precious solitude you can disconnect from the world entirely, no nagging, no work calls, just uninterrupted peace. Here, you step beyond your comfort zone and rediscover what it’s like to be alone with yourself, minus life’s constant distractions. Trust us, it's easier than it sounds! On a de-stress holiday, you learn to find stillness not by escaping your thoughts, but by finally having the quiet to hear them. Wind down and explore new mechanisms for relaxation without relying on materialistic interference.  

Discover Your People in Unexpected Places  

A solo wellness retreat doesn’t have to be isolating; we’re debunking this reconvened perception of single travel. An unexpected benefit of a wellness retreat is the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals who share your drive for better health: living better, feeling better, and building healthy routines. Come together through wellness, where many wellness retreats offer daily group classes with each participant synced in the same rhythm. Or explore the options of a bootcamp holiday for a more energising version of wellness- you're sure to sweat together, complain together, and inevitably share the journey to better health. One of the understated joys of solo wellness is the natural connections you make along the way.  

Push Your Fitness Boundaries  

It's often difficult to find the motivation to begin your fitness journey. The solemn, post-work walk to the gym in the UK drizzle doesn’t always inspire us, and that’s perfectly okay! Solo wellness retreats are the ideal place to start working towards your goals and uncover your health potential, minus all the factors that make it unpleasant. On our luxury fitness retreats, you can work with personal trainers who will motivate you like you’ve never found before. Whether you’re seeking to improve your cardiovascular endurance, lose stubborn weight, or build muscle mass, the beauty of a solo wellness retreat means you can work towards whatever you wish to achieve, entirely dedicated to your fitness potential.

Claim Your Special Place  

Wellness travel is, at its core, a journey of discovery: about yourself, your body, and the destinations that shift something inside of you. You’ll unveil special, intimate destinations that resonate with you and feel just right, and when you do, it's important to lock them into your heart. Embrace your passions on a wellness holiday and find sanctuary in knowing you’re doing what you love. From hiking and golf to beachside diving retreats, discover true happiness that feels deeply personal. Solo wellness travel is all about collecting precious memories and finding calm in intimate spaces that speak to you. Whether it’s the shorelines of Mauritius or the winding vineyards of Italy, the destinations that resonate with your spirit, paired with a healthier, more intentional way of living, are the greatest gifts you can receive.

Solo travel has long been viewed as a pursuit reserved for the young and adventurous, but evolving luxury wellness travel trends are reshaping this narrative. Solo wellness retreats for women over 50 are a rapidly growing market, redefining what it means to travel independently later in life. At this stage, solo travel is less about proving something and more about purpose, well-being, and self-connection. From increased confidence and personal empowerment to rest, reflection, and rejuvenation, embarking on a women-focused wellness retreat after 50 offers a wealth of unique benefits. Discover our guide for solo travel for women over 50- inspiration, planning, and preparation, designed to help you feel informed, inspired, and ready to begin your wellness journey.  

Why Go on a Solo Trip Later in Life 

Life after 50 brings a newfound sense of freedom. With retirement on the horizon and children who have flown the nest, this is the perfect time to focus on personal growth and rediscover the little majesties that make you who you are. Solo travel at this stage of life becomes an invitation to explore the world entirely on your own terms, to reconnect with long-held passions, embrace new experiences, and invest wholeheartedly in your well-being. 

Health and Wellness Benefits of a Wellness Retreat 

• Reduced stress and cortisol levels though spa and mindfulness therapies. 

• Improved mental clarity and emotional balance, supporting life realignment. 

• Hormonal support through nutrition and restorative practices tailored to midlife needs. 

• Increased confidence and self-esteem through self-connection and personal achievement. 

• Enhanced sleep quality through calming routines, movement practices, and digital detox. 

• Improved cardiovascular health through gentle, consistent movement and heart-healthy nutritional plans. 

Types of Solo Wellness Travel 

• Cultural Trips of Exploration: Immerse yourself in new destinations, traditions, and local experiences that you’ve always desired- luxury retreats like Discover Recover™  holidays blend relaxation with cultural exploration and discovery. 

• Fitness Bootcamps: Join group trips focused on fitness, where you can challenge yourself, build healthy fitness routines and connect with like-minded women. 

• Women-Only Retreats: Tailored programmes for women, including menopause support, holistic therapies, and shared journeys personally adapted to you.

How to Pick a Destination Suited to Your Needs 

Identify Your Wellness Goals: Are you seeking relaxation, fitness, or detox? Clarify your aims to find the perfect wellness retreat that is perfectly suited to your stage of life and personal well-being goals. 

Accessibility and Comfort: Choose destinations where you feel comfortable traveling alone. Our luxury wellness resorts include transfers and support throughout, ensuring a seamless experience. 

Climate and Seasonality: Consider what best supports your comfort and health; whether that’s a cosy winter wellness escape in the Italian mountains or a sun-soaked beachfront health retreat in the Caribbean. Gentle climates can enhance relaxation and make movement more enjoyable. 

Language and Culture: Select places where you feel at ease with the local culture and language, or where support is available for maximum comfort. Alternatively, step beyond the familiar and embrace a more immersive cultural experience by doing the opposite. 

Misconceptions About Solo Travel 

Solo Travel Doesn’t Mean Isolation: Many resorts offer communal activities and group classes, providing opportunities to connect with other women. Shared dinners and group experiences make mealtimes and activities a chance for reflection and friendship. 

It’s Not Just for the Young and Adventurous: In fact, over 50 is an ideal time for solo travel. With greater self-awareness and life experience, you can create a journey that genuinely reflects your needs, desires, and pace - a powerful antidote to routine. 

Safety Concerns: Each of our partner resorts is carefully vetted for safety and hospitality. You’ll have a support network of wellness experts and staff, and we help organise your flights and transfers for a worry-free experience. 

Planning and Preparation Tips 

Pack Smart: Bring comfortable workout wear, swimwear, and wellness essentials. See our guidelines on what to pack for a yoga retreat and how to pack for a fitness holiday for more tips. 

Pre-Arrival Planning: Arrange dietary requirements, activity preferences, and travel documents in advance for a smooth arrival, then let wellness experts organise your personalised itinerary. 

Personal Comforts: Don’t forget your favourite keepsakes and favourite books- this is your special time to step back and relax whichever way you see fit 

Expert Support: Remember our luxury wellness advisors are here to guide you at every step, from planning and booking to aftercare and ongoing support, we’ve got your intentions at our core. 

Solo travel after 50 is not about stepping outside your comfort zone, it’s about finally honouring it. A solo wellness retreat offers the space to reconnect with yourself, prioritise your health, and travel with intention, confidence, and ease. With experience comes clarity, and with clarity comes the freedom to choose journeys that truly serve your health and wellness objectives. Whether you’re seeking rest, renewal, or rediscovery, this stage of life is not a limitation, it’s an invitation to travel empowered, on your own terms.

The History of Padel Tennis

Padel tennis began in Mexico in the late 1960s, created by Enrique Corcuera, who adapted traditional tennis into a smaller, enclosed court to make the game more accessible and social. The sport spread rapidly to Spain and Argentina, where it evolved with standardised rules, improved equipment, and a strong competitive scene. Over the decades, padel’s fast, fun, and inclusive style attracted a global following. Today, its popularity has surged, especially in luxury resorts and holiday destinations, where travellers enjoy its easy learning curve and social appeal. Modern resorts now feature top-tier padel courts, coaching programmes, and tournaments, making padel tennis a highlight of active vacations.

You wouldn’t go around actively ignoring your body in times of health crisis, so why ignore your well-being until things fall apart? The true art of health and wellness is staying well sustainably long before things start to crumble, and it’s often the smallest lifestyle and habit changes that create the most meaningful lasting difference. Our luxury wellness retreats are here to do just that. Discover our guide to why a preventative retreat is important to your health and wellness; why they matter, and how they support long-term physical and mental well-being. And trust us on this one, they’re far more than just a healthy holiday in the sun! 

What is a Preventive Health Retreat 

A preventative health retreat is a restorative wellness holiday designed to reduce daily stress, prevent burnout, and reset mental and physical well-being. Our detox holidays offer a powerful reset, providing the space and structure to interrupt unhealthy habits, cleanse the body, and evoke a healthier way of living. With access to advanced medical science, guests have the unique opportunity to identify early signs of illness or imbalance, enabling a proactive approach to long-term health and unlocking their full wellness potential 

Our preventive health retreats come in many forms, tailored to your personal wellness goals and health concerns, meaning there is always an option suited to you. Each luxury wellness retreat features an immersive, structured programme designed to support long-term longevity, while still enjoying the freedom to unwind and spend your time as you wish. Because we know no two journeys are the same, our dedicated health and wellness advisors are here to match your perfect health retreat with your needs, ensuring the entire process is effortless. 

Why a Preventive Retreat 

Achieve Burnout Prevention and Stress Reduction  

Our luxury wellness retreats are more than fleeting moments of bliss. They are fully immersive experiences, intentionally crafted to create lasting impact. Through expert-led programmes rooted in holistic wellness, our mindfulness-focused retreats prevent burnout, builds emotional resilience, and ease stress levels. By addressing the root pressures of modern life early, these wellness retreats also offer vital moments to reset and nurture the mind, supporting long-term mental health before stress escalates into something heavier. 

Address Unhealthy Habits 

Recognising self-destructive behaviour is the first step in switching your life for the better. We have plenty of options to combat unhealthy stress-driven habits, such as excess alcohol, binge eating, and smoking, which are all halting you from achieving your full potential. Preventive wellness retreats help you reset unhealthy habits early, protecting long-term well-being before the impact deepens. Our detox and anti-addiction retreats provide relaxed, structured environments, designed to interrupt the cycle of harm early through prevention rather than crisis response.  

Invest in your longevity with advanced medical science diagnostics 

You know your mind and body best, and we respect that. However, our medical preventative spa retreats provide deeper insight to prolong your longevity. A strong immune system is essential for long-term health, and our preventive wellness retreats protect and strengthen it early, through science-led care, advanced diagnostics, and state-of-the-art medical facilities. All delivered with an uncompromised luxury, our immune-boosting retreats are meticulously designed for prevention and sustained vitality.
