The holidays can be rough on our bodies. Nevermind the stress of
shopping in crowded malls, getting together with in-laws or heading to
endless Christmas parties. The real reason we dread the season is
because we know it means lots of unhealthy eating. Don’t get us wrong,
we love a good sweet treat as much as the next guy. But each January it
seems that we need a reboot from all the carbs, sugar and alcoholic
beverages consumed over the months. If you’re like us and want to start
the new year off right, consider a health and wellness trip to kickstart
your 2016 fitness goals. Here are seven luxury hotels offering detox
packages around the globe:

Mukul Beach, Golf & Spa — Nicaragua
Located on the Emerald Coast of Nicaragua, Mukul Beach, Golf & Spa
is offering a six-day Destination Yoga package for guests looking to
recharge and renew their mind, body and spirit. Guests will either stay
in a Bohio or Villa, the former resting among the trees and offering 621
square feet of space with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors,
plunge pools and a private veranda. The villas include wraparound decks,
direct access to the beach, private pools and outdoors showers. Along
with daily meals curated to optimize wellbeing, you’ll also receive five
private yoga sessions with an in-house instructor and six 90-minute
reformative spa treatments. A choice between a hiking adventure, forest
bathing meditative experience or a private cooking class round-out your
week.
Of course, you’ll need to indulge a tad while there, so the hotel
will also deliver a 200ml bottle (each) of Flor de Caña Rum, Extralite
and 5 Years in your room upon arrival. Package rates start at USD $820
per night based on a Golf & Mountain View Bohio.

retreat to invite guests to slow down and live well. The weekend

exercises, yoga, massages and fireside chats. The group will begin on

retreating fireside for herbal tea and a restorative yoga session. The
next day’s events range from a hands-on workshop, nature walk,
reflection time and a therapeutic massage. Two fireside chats are also
offered and will cover What is Ayurveda Anyway? Understanding the Doshas in Nature & In You as well as For Love of Food and Yoga
with authors Liz Price Kellogg and Kristen Taylor. All meals will

Half the fun of Verdura’s wellness kickstarter package is its
location. Set in Sicily, the Italian hotel rests on a private portion of
the Mediterranean coastline. It is also home to a 196-foot infinity
pool, world-class spa, three Kyle Phillips golf courses, nine dining and
drinking venues and gorgeous rooms and suites. For those looking to get
in shape while overseas, the resort’s Terrence The Teacher’s Re-Set Re-Treat package
is a great option. Taking place from January 5-12, the retreat focuses
on creating new goals and habits for 2016. A Clinical Hypnotherapist,
Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner and Mindfulness Coach,
Terrence will guide guests through daily morning meditations using
hypnotherapy techniques, group sessions and will offer two private
consultations at the beginning and end of the week. To add some
heart-pumping activities into the mix, guests will get a fitness check
and personal training session with the resort’s Fitness Manager.
Finally, enjoy a facial or body ritual at the spa and dine on a special
Mediterranean-inspired fare created by celebrity chef Fulvio
Pierangelini. The package is priced at $4,120 per person.

on the snow with lessons for two and homemade organic chocolate chip
cookies (it’s okay to indulge). Follow this up with yoga at Shakti Shala
and choose from a Vinyasa flow, restorative or meditational class. When
you need a break, pamper yourself with a 60-minute massage at the
resort’s Remède Spa so you can return home blissfully relaxed. The
Mountaintop Reboot program starts at $2,871 (based on double occupancy)
with a three-night stay.
