In need of some downtime? Here’s where to go to give your brain a break and your body some serious indulgence
Anyone with a start-up or a successful solo career is usually also in dire need of an all-encompassing wellness adventure at least once a year—a trip that can soothe aching muscles and save you from your iPhone notifications. With that in mind, we’ve cherry-picked the most spoiling sanctuaries in the world, places that offer everything from coca leaf massages and health overhauls to floatation therapy and holistic medicine.
1. Turkey: The LifeCo Centre
This Turkish beachfront resort is certainly in with the in-crowd—Kate Moss, Sadie Frost and their Primrose Hill crew famously go every April for a week-long detox before the summer season. And while there is a pretty pool and flower-filled steps down to the turquoise Aegean Sea, this is an institute that means business—all vitamin injections, fasting regimes, colonic irrigations and daily acupuncture. If the idea of fasting on holiday fills you with existential dread, fear not: the idyllic coastline is littered with excellent fish restaurants from Il Riccio in Türkbükü, which has a Michelin-starred sister restaurant in Capri, to Gümüşlük, on the peninsula’s west coast.
