This innovative niche is exploding world-wide with amazing opportunities for everyBODY in everything from yoga retreats amongst the soothing rainforests of Costa Rica, to adventure cruising down the Amazon River, or partaking in a bona-fide fitness-focused vacation in spectacular locations.
A fitness vacation is a terrific way to feed your wanderlust while jumpstarting positive changes for your mind, body and soul. Ideal for both fitness seekers and fitness warriors, this type of vacation not only tones tushes, but also tantalizes taste buds with delectable yet healthy cuisine, delights your inner yogi, and proposes personalized fitness challenges. And perhaps most importantly, a fitness vacation can propel you down the path to creating a healthier and more relaxed version of yourself.
Here’s a sampling of some of the crème de la crème fitness resorts truly serious about personal transformation:
The BodyHoliday Le Sport. One of the most beloved fitness vacation resorts is hidden away on the idyllic beauty of St. Lucia. Situated on a private, gorgeous Caribbean beach lies The BodyHoliday where luxury fitness is king or queen and all-inclusive packages include daily spa treatments at the well-awarded and very comprehensive Wellness Center. A wonderfully diverse range of fitness classes and watersports run by day, dancing to steel drums is enjoyed by night.
The Ranch at Live Oak Malibu. This ultra-uber fitness resort is for health warriors seeking challenges that push beyond their current fitness level. The Ranch at Live Oaks is not for the faint of heart. Their low-impact 7 day program includes 10 hours of daily exercise consisting of yoga, strength training, water aerobics, massage services, and revitalizing hikes. However, in one intense week, you will definitely gain strength and shed some unwanted pounds, whilst enjoying the beauty of sunny southern California.
Rancho La Puerta. A true gem, Rancho La Puerta could be deemed as the godmother of all fitness resorts. After over 70 years of providing outstanding wellness vacations, Rancho La Puerta does not rest upon their well-earned laurels. This quintessential wellness resort continues to embody all that is wellness and provides sanctuary for the soul, engaging classes for the mind and an extensive range of exceptional fitness classes for the body.
