Sometimes you don’t need a vacation full of activities, but a trip that brings you back to yourself—a place where your body can relax, breathe, let your mind wander, and your soul feel at home. Wellness trips are one of the trendiest travel styles, as more and more people look to reconnect with themselves and find a balance between a busy life and caring for their mind and body.
And the best part is, you don’t have to travel to the other side of the world to have this experience. With Royal Holiday Club, you have access to hundreds of resorts and destinations that perfectly adapt to a travel plan focused on rest, personal reconnection, and wellness.
Are you ready to start taking deep breaths? Here’s how you can do it.
WHAT IS A WELLNESS TRIP?
A wellness trip is not just about going on vacation—it’s about healing, recharging your energy, and reconnecting with yourself. It includes experiences that support physical health, mental clarity and balance, and emotional peace. With all the wellness options available, you can decide how light or how deep you want this experience to be.
This isn’t about extreme retreats or spiritual fasting (unless that’s what you’re looking for). A wellness trip can be as simple as:
- Having a good night’s sleep in a quiet place
- Prioritizing eating well without rushing
- Waking up by the ocean
- Taking a yoga class or enjoying a relaxing massage
- Walking barefoot on the beach
- And most importantly, feeling present in your own life
HOW TO PLAN THE PERFECT WELLNESS TRIP
1. Choose a destination that suits what you are looking for
Not all wellness trips are the same. Before planning your trip, think about your goals and how you want to feel afterward. Relaxed? Motivated? Connected? Depending on your goal, you can choose between:
- Relaxing beaches if you want peace, rest, and silence
- Mountains or destinations surrounded by nature if you want to reconnect with the earth
- Small cities or islands if you want a slower pace
2. Design your trip with intention
It’s not about filling up your schedule—on the contrary, leave some free time to let new and unexpected experiences happen.
- Spend a morning without using your phone
- Take a book or journal to write down your thoughts
- Plan at least one self-care activity: spa, meditation, yoga class, sunrise walk
- Create a special playlist for your trip
- Eat fresh food and take your time to enjoy it
A wellness trip is a gift to yourself. Take time to plan it, go with an open heart, and avoid rigid expectations. Travel light and enjoy every moment!
3. Stay in a place that promotes balance
It’s not the same to go on vacation to a loud, chaotic place as it is to stay somewhere designed to help you breathe and relax. Many Royal Holiday Resorts offer ideal spaces for these kinds of trips: rooms with beautiful views, quiet areas, spas, relaxing pools, healthy restaurant options, and plenty of nature.
Look for a place where you can:
- Get a good night’s sleep
- Eat well
- Experience total peace
This is your moment to take a break from your everyday schedule.
Some of the best Royal Holiday destinations are:
- Club Regina Los Cabos: Beautiful sunsets, constant ocean breeze, and relaxing ocean-view spaces.
- Park Royal Beach Ixtapa: Perfect for families who want to focus on wellness and reconnect with themselves and each other.
- Park Royal Homestay Club Cala Puerto Rico: Surrounded by tropical nature—ideal for hikes, long walks, and deep relaxation.
- Grand Park Royal Cozumel: An excellent option if you want to snorkel, enjoy a spa day, and embrace Caribbean peace and quiet.
4. Connect with nature
Wellness doesn’t always mean expensive treatments or high-end classes. Sometimes all you need is to walk barefoot on the sand, watch the sunrise from a terrace, or dip your toes in the water and simply breathe.
WHAT IF I’M TRAVELING WITH MY PARTNER OR FAMILY?
A wellness trip can absolutely be shared, but it’s important for everyone involved to have similar goals and a clear idea of what the trip will look like. Travel without rushing, enjoy simple things, and take care of each other.
You can choose a resort with different activities for all family members—like Park Royal Beach Cancun or Club Regina Puerto Vallarta—and set some easy ground rules such as less screen time, more quality moments, more silence, and more connection.
Traveling doesn’t always mean doing more; sometimes it means doing less, but doing it well. A wellness trip is not just a trend—it’s a new way of taking care of yourself while exploring new destinations.
As a Royal Holiday member, you’re already halfway there. You have access to many incredible hotels and destinations—now you just need to choose the right one for you.
It’s time to prioritize YOU!
