Hot Springs of Wellness Travel

By Amanda Vallone

After a year and a half of hearing about surges, variants, illnesses, quarantines, breakouts, shutdowns, and the ongoing negativity spewing from the media, travelers are looking for ways to cleanse their spirit, soul, and body while traveling safely, now more than ever. And if you’re one of them, there are some amazing options for you.

Over the last several years we’ve planned wellness trips like hiking the Inca Trail in Machu Picchu, walking the Camino Trail, biking throughout the UK, visiting an Ashram in India, and hiking Kilimanjaro in East Africa—just to name a few.

But for a destination that’s a little closer to home and easier to travel to with all the current Covid protocols, we’d highly recommend…

Costa Rica!

Pura Vida (Pure Life) is Costa Rica’s tagline, welcome statement, and all-around way of life. Costa Rica is a paradise for those who’re looking for something different, and a visit there provides something for everyone.  

But for travelers looking for the ideal place to improve their mental and physical well-being, explore the beauties of nature, and return relaxed and rejuvenated…Costa Rica should be your next travel destination.

Become one with nature during activities like trekking, forest baths, natural hot springs, and earthing (barefoot walks to connect with the earth). Or get even more wild with plenty of exhilarating activities like surfing, scuba diving, or white water rafting in the greenest habitat while surrounded by exotic wildlife.

It’s important to pick the resorts and properties that are perfectly placed for the experiences you’re looking for. There are yoga retreats in the rainforest, surfing and sea turtle hatching on the beach, hot springs haciendas at the volcano, and several other types of properties that provide an incredible experience for wellness travelers to be able to truly absorb the backdrop and become one with it.   

Hot Tip: Spa experiences like body wraps from volcanic mud, coffee scrubs, tropical fruit treatments, and hydrotherapy really upgrade any trip to Costa Rica, but especially wellness retreats.

These various wellness features, alongside deliciously healthy foods have helped create one of the world’s “blue zones,” known as a longevity area where a typical lifespan of Costa Ricans is 90 years young and is directly attributed to the calcium-rich waters, healthy living and eating, and Pura Vida lifestyle.

All these amazing experiences and we haven’t even talked about the incredible wildlife!
