Luxury health and wellness packages
Wellness experiences, spa therapies and relaxing treatments are becoming more popular among luxury travellers due to the increased need to maintain health through various psychological, spiritual, and physical activities. The industry is projected to expand rapidly because of the rising demand for reviving activities such as meditation and exercise as well as revitalising traditional therapies and health and wellness foods. We’ve rounded up six luxury health and wellness packages to experience this year…
