6 Wellness Retreats On Our Bucket List

We’re not even halfway through the year and we could already use some major TLC. If you’re anything like us, then you’ve probably found yourself living through people’s #instavacations lately. The weather is warming up and the extra hours of sunlight are motivating us to go outside. Here at The POSE Box, we love wellness and one of our dream vacays is to spend a week at a wellness retreat. Thanks to the increased conversation around wellness, there are tons of wellness retreats and hotels adopting wellness routines all over the world. Here’s a list of the ones we can definitely picture ourselves gaining our balance at.

Did we mention the resort is an all-suite facility with rooms so beautiful that even the call of fresh avocado toast can’t get you out of bed fast enough? If our obsessing isn't enough to make you book a flight to Miami, maybe them being voted the #1 resort in Florida by Conde Nast Traveler is.

Can somebody say aesthetics?! Before we get into the amazing wellness work happening at this spa, we have to acknowledge the beautiful scenary surrounding it.
