5 Wellness Trends to Embrace in 2024
Top transformational wellness trends to follow on your next holiday
In this fast-paced world, finding moments of tranquillity and creating a balanced lifestyle is more crucial than ever, and the search for mindful travel experiences is on the rise. As we close in on the final week of January, let’s dive into the top 5 transformational wellness trends which offers the chance to bring in some wellness into your next holiday.
- Mindful Travel:
In an era marked by constant connectivity, it could be naturally harder to find moments of presence and serenity, even on a holiday. Mindful travel involves being present in the moment, fostering a deeper connection with a destination, and minimising the negative impact on the environment and local communities. Examples of mindful travel practices include:
- Silent Travel: A new trend with old roots, in its purest form, silent travel is traditionally associated with silent meditation retreats, which range from long weekends to 10-day experiences offered all over the world at various intensities. These retreats require mental as well as physical preparations months ahead.
- Slow Travel: Slow travel experiences have been on a steady rise and are linked to some of the world’s great walking trails (imagine Machu Picchu in southern Peru, and the emerging The Pekoe Trail, a series of walking trails which amount to 300km across Sri Lanka’s hills country)
- Choosing eco-friendly accommodation that prioritise sustainability. These establishments often implement practices like energy conservation, waste reduction, and support for local conservation initiatives.
- Mindful Eating: Explore local cuisine mindfully by choosing restaurants that source their ingredients locally and support sustainable, responsible farming practices.
- Sleep Optimisation:
A rejuvenated body starts with a rejuvenated night’s sleep. You needn’t wait until a holiday to implement sleep optimisation in your nightly routine; a comfortable bed and blackout curtains to ensure a deeper sleep environment are just two simple examples to help you get a better night’s sleep. Wallawwa now offers a dedicated turndown sleep service as part of their wellness package offering which includes nightly reflections, relaxing aromatherapy pillow mists and a range of teas designed to induce deeper relaxation.
- Holistic Wellness:
Incorporating wellness practices into your holiday can leave you feeling refreshed, balanced, and more connected to yourself and the world around you. Holistic wellness involves taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Teardrop Hotel’s wellness offerings extend beyond traditional spa treatments, encompassing activities that nurture mental clarity, physical vitality, and spiritual well-being. Indulge in yoga and meditation sessions, nutritional consultations, and holistic therapies like transformational coaching for a comprehensive wellness experience.
- Nature Immersion:
Consider taking a break from constant connectivity and embrace a digital detox through nature immersion during your travels. The healing power of nature is undeniable, and Teardrop Hotels offers a unique connection to a natural environment in each of its stunning properties around Sri Lanka. This allows you to fully engage with your surroundings, connect with fellow travellers, and create lasting memories without the distraction of technology. Each of its three beautiful tea bungalows, Goatfell, Nine Skies and Camellia Hills are surrounded by greenery and the calming sounds of nature, while it’s beachfront boutique hotel Kumu Beach enjoys gorgeous views of the Indian ocean. Wallawwa near the airport and Lunuganga which is interior from Bentota enjoy the vast expanse of lush gardens, allowing guests to experience the therapeutic benefits of simply switching off for a day, and they don’t need to sign up for a wellness package to do this!
- Personalised Wellness Journeys:
The path to wellness is a highly individual one, and personalised wellness journeys give you the opportunity to tailor a program to your unique needs and preferences. From one-on-one sessions with wellness practitioners, to guided meditation sessions, secluded spots for self-reflection and customised amenities and services, Teardrop’s packages cater to those seeking tranquillity during their stay, whether it’s just for a night for several consecutive days.
