Wellness retreats are in high demand among consumers and travelers, in part because they allow participants time and space to focus wholly on their well-being, in addition to offering a reset of sorts. Here are three amazing retreats to inspire your own programming.

Attendees enjoyed:

This September, 2022, Forte San Giorgio on the Tuscan island of Capraia will host a six-night immersion experience for wellness enthusiasts in partnership with Ricari Studios. Ricari Studios’ modern health approach includes noninvasive treatments and tech that boosts circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, relaxes the nervous system and stimulates collagen production.
Retreat programming will immerse guests in the property's relaxing surroundings where they can enjoy signature treatments, private and group fitness sessions, hikes in Capraia's natural settings, sea swimming, boat trips, sunrise meditation, massage treatments and Italian dining experiences.
Each guest will receive three Ricari treatments during the retreat, aimed at naturally reenergizing and revitalizing tissue and skin cells to tone, sculpt, release dense muscles, and activate better circulation and metabolism.
