From aerial yoga in the Maldives to yoga sessions on paddle boards on Bora Bora, these seven luxury holidays will ensure that you are transported to your happy place as never before
Six Senses Laamu in The Maldives
Barefoot relaxed Maldivian chic doesn’t get better than this. Offering aerial yoga, one of the hottest trends in the world of yoga, which brings together stretching, breathing and meditation with gymnastics and aerial arts, Six Senses classes are tailored to specific guests’ needs and suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Laamu also has a Six Senses Spa with highly skilled therapists, award-winning signature treatments, an Ayurvedic treatment pavilion, and visiting practitioners who offer personal consultations and holistic therapies.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora
Taking full advantage of its magnificent setting on a private motu (islet) in Bora Bora’s turquoise lagoon, the views from Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora are breathtaking. Across the azure waters, the lush green peak of Mt Otemanu enthrals even the most well-travelled visitor, with white sand beaches and coral islets adding magic to the enchanting vistas. Yoga lovers and novices will be transported to their happy place on the overwater yoga platform – and for something completely different, they now offer yoga sessions on a stand-up paddle board.
The Residence Zanzibar
This contemporary all-villa hideaway is a chic jewel in Zanzibar’s crown. Tanzania’s first member of the prestigious ‘Leading Hotels of the World’ portfolio, the resort’s distinct style and enchanting elegance draws inspiration from the Swahili, Omani, British and Indian cultures present in Zanzibar. It is set on a mile-long white sandy beach in the island’s southwest corner on an 80-acre private estate, flanked by coconut palms and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Yoga is offered on a complimentary basis twice a week.
Carlisle Bay, Antigua
Set on the south coast of the island, Carlisle Bay epitomises the perfect ideal of a luxury Caribbean resort. To the rear a tangle of emerald-green rainforest and to the fore, the requisite crescent of white sand beach licked by the crystal clear waters of the warm Caribbean Sea. There’s a dedicated yoga pavilion for perfect relaxation.
Fusion Maia Resort, Vietnam
It almost sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?– a resort where your spa treatments are all inclusive but that’s exactly what happens here. Fusion Maia Da Nang is an ‘all-pool villa’ beachfront resort just 30 minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hoi An and is the first resort in Asia to offer the all spa-inclusive concept. Fusion Maia’s holistic approach to wellness gives you a real sense of vitality and peace. There are 16 treatment rooms, an adult-only pool, tranquil tropical spa gardens, a sauna, steam rooms and a yoga studio. There is an extensive menu of spa treatments, all included in your stay along with a range of complimentary activities such as yoga, Tai Chi and meditation.
Spa Village Resort, Tembok Bali
On the remote northeastern coast of Bali, Spa Village offers an experience that is the complete antithesis of the modern resorts lining the southern shores. The two and a half hour road transfer from the airport transports you from hustling city vibe to tranquil, local life in the blink of an eye. With soaring volcanic peaks and black sand beaches washed by the deep blue Bali Sea, there is a very tangible spirituality to this place. If you could take the essence of Bali; its culture, gently smiling people, mystical charms and bottle it, the resulting elixir would be Spa Village. The focus here is on health and happiness, and yoga plays an important part in the resort’s philosophy – there’s even a Yoga Swing with a mesmerising ocean view.
Qamea Resort, Fiji
Lying like a jewel in Fiji’s dramatic northern group of islands, Qamea is a breathtakingly beautiful island of dramatic lush, green, tropical rainforest clad hills and white sand beaches. An intimate boutique resort with just seventeen luxuriously appointed air-conditioned beachfront bures and villas nestled among swaying coconut palms and lush tropical gardens, Qamea Resort and Spa is the perfect destination for those seeking an authentic Fijian experience, beautiful beachfront accommodation and sweeping views of the ocean and sunsets. Yoga sessions take place in the amazing Jungle Spa, in the beautiful gardens, the privacy of your villa or by the pool. Heaven sent!
