The people who have set – and kept – every New Year’s Resolution they’ve made are few and far between. Despite the very best of intentions, these promises we make ourselves tend to go undelivered, with the list only to resurface 11 months later and guaranteed to leave you feeling a little disappointed. So, if you’re looking to kick a fitness resolution or two to touch early on in the year, we suggest booking a stay at one of these transformative retreat experiences sooner, rather than later.
Thanyapura Sports Hotel
Thanyapura Sports Hotel is a sports resort and training facility in the heart of Phuket, that boasts state-of-the-art equipment spread over a vast space. The 114-room property has a full team of medical staff, and counts Olympic sized swimming pool, running and mountain bike trails, and a synthetic cushioned running track among its many facilities. It offers numerous training programmes, but if you’re looking to kickstart a weight loss programme to give you the foundations for the year ahead, one-night ‘tasters’, as well as Basic and Premium Packages are available. Premium packages are inclusive of a colonic hydrotherapy treatment, weight loss dietary programmes, private nutritional consultations and yoga and mindfulness sessions. Retreats are available for between six and 29 days.
The BodyHoliday
A New Year’s body reboot doesn’t have to mean a strict regime that limits your food intake. At The BodyHoliday—St Lucia’s all-inclusive luxury wellness resort—weight loss programmes are referred to as ‘Beautiful Me’ retreats. Focusing on a holistic approach to health, your personal goals are the focus of your own retreat, with pre-arrival consultations with nutritionists, chefs and personal trainers designed to help tailor your retreats even further.
