I believe it, man.
OfcourseI believe itIm part of those statistics!
And I hope they can do the same for you at some point, too.

Vista Celestial only has five haciendas (villas), so it has a really intimate feel.
Most visitorsmyself includedget to know the staff really well, which contributes to the warmth of the experience.
The food is absolutely delicious, too.
There are tons of fresh-squeezed tropical fruit juices, too, like guava, mango, and passion fruit.
And oh, the yoga!
But thats the whole charm of this property!
Its healthiness is just baked right into the location.
Nicknamed the Green Island of Croatia, Mljet is home to one of the countrys eight national parks.
All of the food is grown or sourced from the island, so its seriously fresh.
Croatia doesnt have many big offshore industries, which is why the water is so clear and fresh.
The city has become a modern mecca for all things health and well-being.
(I also left wishing Ihadstayed there, so I feel like it counts.)
And there was just something about the one in Chiang Mai that made me feel incredibly at peace.
It also smells like sweet jasmine and lemongrass at all times.
There is even a giant stone bathtub just made for soothing soaks.
In fact, its where I got my favorite Thai massage on my two-week trip through Thailand.
(Thai massage is basically where yourmassage therapistactually stretches you out rather than just massaging you with oil.)
The food is part of the draw as well.
My top wellness takeaway:The Anantara Chiang Mai is a deeply spiritual place.
But Ometepe can get even coolerand healthierif you stay at Selvista Permaculture Farm.
Each villa is fully surrounded by plantain and coconut trees, and beautifully decorated with natural wood furniture.
Pro tip: Theyre especially known for their delicious curries!
I left feeling inspired to green my lifestyle bigtime back in NYC.
Examples include yoga, horseback riding, cardio classes, and tai chi.
My favorite was the outdoor yoga class in the red rocksthe views were incredible!
And the food is always prepared with your health in mind.
On a wellness list?
You cant hear the airport or loud Cancun; its just you and the salt air.
Perhaps most of all, though, its the staff that truly shines.
Like the Westin in Kauai, part of that is due to Port Antonio itself.
Fortunately, Great Huts makes it really easy to just be.
The breezy, open-air treehouse rooms are very rustic chic, and most of them overlook Boston Bay.
I left feeling healthy, happy, and refreshed from a good dose of Jamaican vibes.
All EVEN hotels have a gym, but what makes them stand out is theirin-room fitnessequipment.
My top wellness takeaway:EVEN Hotels are definitely more of a business vibe than a boutique vibe.
Its an Oberoi hotel, which is a highly-esteemed luxury hotel brand based in New Delhi.
The one in Shimla is especially epic because of its location: Its seriously high up in the Himalayas!
With mountain views for days!
Once we arrived, everything was wellness friendly.
My top wellness takeaway:Like I said, this hotel is a splurge.
But if you want to experience India the luxury nature way, its definitely the spot.
