If you ask us, every day is women’s day, but we’re not going to turn down a dedicated day to celebrate all things wonderful about women. That’s exactly what March 8th has become: championing social awareness and equality while combating stigmas, stereotypes and discrimination. In the lead up to International Women’s Day, we’ve put together a list of exclusive women’s wellness retreats around the world, from luxury spas to outdoor adventures and much, much more.
