Esti Prager Explains Surge in International Spa Development
Since 2015, we’ve seen a quantum science-based resort open up in Suzhou, China, a surfing and yoga boot camp in Portugal, and even a health-focused retreat in the jungles of Papagayo in Costa Rica. With new techniques and innovation constantly coming up, it has set a rather high bar for spas and relaxation retreats around the world.
Each year, we hold a survey to determine which retreat experiences rank the highest, as per our readers’ experiences. We ask them to share their opinions on the best hotels, resorts, islands, spas, airlines, and all other travel-related choices. Today, we will cover the best destination spas of this year, after considering various categories, including;

Apart from the novel concepts, it was relatively clear that most tourists preferred indulging in transformative locales. Just take BodyHoliday as an example; it is a famous all-inclusive retreat in St. Lucia which feels nothing short of a trip to paradise. With a heavenly location on Cariblue Beach, this retreat has it all. From windsurfing to Tai Chi and even personal training sessions for people wanting to go scuba diving.

In this facility, guests receive personalized treatment plans that focus on their cognitive health and apply preventive medicine for improved results. It also offers aesthetic derma treatments and genomic programs.
