Rev Up Your Vacation

Fitness Vacations You'll Love

Rev Up Your Vacation

You just got back from a super lux beach vay-k. You’re 6 shades darker, 12 pounds heavier, and completely exhausted from all that Mai-Tai-filled partying!

Everyone loves a vacation, but often you drink more, indulge in foods you might not normally eat, and take advantage of all those new cultural experiences by staying out into the wee morning hours. It can take a toll. For example, the well-travelled Keith Richards is really only 23 years old.

Welcome to the new kind of vacation – the fitness vacation! Many resorts are now offering ‘life-enriching’ packages that benefit the body, mind, and spirit. Although relaxation is still key, when combined with a fun, active lifestyle, your vacation gets a dose of healthy too. Check out a few of our fave spots:

Red Mountain Spa: St. George Utah: With spectacular views of the red mountains, the setting of this ultra chic resort can’t be beat. Utah is a fitness enthusiast’s dream with a vast selection of calorie burning activities including kayaking, Yoga, hiking, golfing.

Amansala’s Bikini Bootcamp – Tulum, Mexico: Get your bod bikini ready and head to the remote, white sandy beaches and turquoise sea of Tulum, Mexico. The 6 day retreat features Yoga, body sculpting, beach walking, and dance classes, along with ocean-side massages and gourmet fresh food.

Replenish Retreat – Laguna Beach: This all-inclusive wellness and creative energy retreat is a 7 day escape to rejuvenate the mind, body and soul. Connect with like-minded health seekers as you dive into meditation, explore creative workshops, and practice both traditional and laughter Yoga. The inspiring week includes healthy gourmet meals and a 2-day juice cleanse.

The Oaks at Ojai – Ojai, California: This classic Cali health spa was formerly known as the original fat farm of the 1970′s.  These days, the low-key, stress-free spa offers a relaxing getaway that focuses on healthy weight loss and wellness along with a wide array of relaxing spa treatments.

Back Roads Bike Tours: Get your workout on while combining a serious side of decadence with a fabulous bike tour. With a myriad of amazing tours, you can choose to ride your way through Italy, Greece, China, Argentina, Hawaii, California, and more while exploring the food and culture of the region.
