Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, the city in the state of Uttarakhand offers transformative experiences in yoga and meditation that are deeply rooted in ancient Indian philosophy. Along the serene banks of the Ganges, visitors can join ashrams or retreat centers that combine daily yoga sessions with guided meditation and mindfulness practices. Ayurvedic therapies and consultations further enhance the holistic wellness journey. A great place to look inwards is at Ananda in the Himalayas, which blends world-class facilities with traditional wellness techniques.

FEEL THE KNEADING IN THAILAND

Amanpuri's traditional Thai herbal treatment

Thailand’s wellness traditions are renowned worldwide, with Thai massage at the heart of its healing culture. This ancient practice incorporates acupressure, reflexology, and yoga-like stretches to improve circulation and balance energy. Complementing this is the use of a steamed herbal compress ball, filled with medicinal herbs like lemongrass, turmeric, and ginger, which are pressed onto the body to alleviate pain and relax muscles. At Amanpuri in Phuket, guests can explore these therapies in depth. Overlooking the Andaman Sea, the luxurious resort is a sanctuary of calm, blending traditional techniques with cutting-edge wellness science. Its Holistic Wellness Center offers tailored medical and spa treatments, personalized wellness immersions and bespoke immersion programmes. Wellness concierges are also on hand to assist, and beyond treatments, guests can enjoy activities such as herbal workshops and outdoor meditation sessions.

SPIRITUAL HEALING IN BALI

COMO Shambhala Estate

Known as “the Island of the Gods”, Bali is synonymous with Hindu spirituality, offering unique healing practices that combine ancient wisdom with natural remedies. Visitors can consult a Balinese astrologer who interprets life paths and future possibilities through the Balinese Zodiac. This can be followed by a sacred Hindu ritual for spiritual cleansing, performed at a traditional family temple. For those seeking holistic healing, the island’s alternative medicine sessions include aura readings, palmistry, and sound meditation, all designed to address physical, emotional, and spiritual imbalances. The island of Bali (and especially its cultural capital of Ubud) is famous for the wellness offerings available at high end retreats like COMO Shambhala Estate, where you can combine spiritual experiences with yoga, detox programs, and tailored healing therapies in an exquisite natural setting.

BACK TO NATURE IN JAPAN

Amanemu spa

Japan's wellness traditions for cleansing the mind, body and soul are rooted in nature, with onsens (hot springs) being a quintessential experience. These geothermal baths, rich in minerals like sulfur and magnesium, are believed to detoxify the body, improve circulation, and soothe the mind. Guests can visit onsens in many beautiful locations from Hokkaido to Kyushu, often surrounded by mountains or forests, and embrace Japan’s philosophy of mindful relaxation. Amanemu, located in the tranquil Ise-Shima region, offers private onsen baths and personalized wellness programs that combine Japanese traditions with modern luxury. Guests can also participate in hiking, cycling, forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) and tea ceremonies, further connecting with Japan’s harmonious approach to wellness.

THE RIGHT KOREA MOVES

Jogyesa Temple

South Korea blends ancient wellness practices with modern innovations, offering a diverse range of experiences. Visitors can explore traditional Korean medicine through informal consultations, where holistic techniques like acupuncture, herbal remedies, and energy balancing are tailored to individual needs. Another highlight is overnighting at a real Buddhist temple, where activities like chanting, tea ceremonies and "singing bowl" meditation allow guests to connect with their own spiritual calm. For a deeper cultural experience, Jogyesa Temple in Seoul offers opportunities to converse with Buddhist monks, engage in mindfulness practices, and partake in unexpectedly delicious and healthy vegetarian temple cuisine. Hiking in Korea’s picturesque mountains, a beloved activity among locals, is also an integral part of the wellness experience, connecting physical health with mental clarity.
