Knowing the reason for taking a holiday retreat in the first place will help support you when choosing the perfect retreat for you, and throughout your stay.

There are dozens of different types and styles of holiday retreats that are bound to suit the experience you've dreamt of in your head. Retreats can be super luxurious, or super rustic and authentic.

Your budget is more than likely the biggest factor when it comes to booking a holiday retreat. Retreats can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars, and it’s really important to be aware of your budget before dedicating yourself to one place. Explore the options that we offer, and see how far you can make your dollar stretch. If you are someone who is on a budget, be sure to take into consideration the time of year you go, when you buy flights, and most importantly, location. While there are dozens of luxurious holiday retreats in westernized countries, more often than not, you can find the same experiences for a fraction of the cost in locations such as Southeast Asia or Central America. Thankfully, we’ve got options for all budget types on Healing Holidays to suit the needs of anyone looking for the ideal holiday retreat.

Location and destination are super important when it comes to choosing the perfect holiday retreat. Think about the atmosphere and environment you will be immersing yourself in, and how that will affect your retreat experience. Are you looking to be somewhere tropical waking up to the sound of beach waves? Or maybe the silence and serenity of the desert? Do you want a natural experience in unspoiled jungles and mountain ranges or a hidden oasis in the middle of a bustling city? There's no wrong option, it all depends on personal preference, and there are retreats in all sorts of destinations all over the world.

Be aware of the details regarding the food and accommodation of the retreat before making your final decision. Details such as these can make or break the experience unless you are someone who is open-minded and ready for surprises. If you are someone with a vegan or vegetarian diet, be sure to ask hosts what meals and options are available. Suppose you are looking for a retreat with a lot of free time for relaxing and meditation. In that case, you are probably looking for a more luxurious accommodation style with a lot more privacy. Additionally, scheduling details are something else to consider, such as wake-up times, lengths of activities, and structured guidance throughout your stay,

A holiday retreat is meant to be a wonderful experience full of magic, rejuvenation, and relaxation.
