The Best Wellness Resorts Around The World For A 2026 Reset

After a year of nonstop schedules, endless screens, and constant travel, there’s no better way to begin 2026 than with a reset that nourishes the mind, body, and spirit. From alpine retreats and desert sanctuaries to tropical escapes and next-gen wellness resorts, the hotels on this list go beyond spa treatments and yoga classes. Expect immersive, intentional experiences designed to restore energy, cultivate balance, and help you set the tone for the year ahead. Whether you’re craving mindfulness, adventure, or a few days of restorative luxury, these destinations offer a fresh start that lasts long after checkout.

Miraval Arizona

A longtime leader in mindful escapes, Miraval continues to set the standard for integrative wellness. The resort’s “Life in Balance” philosophy guides everything from equine therapy and intention-setting rituals to desert hikes and a packed schedule of expert-led workshops. With three pools, a complete Ayurvedic program, and restorative spa treatments that incorporate Indigenous-based healing practices, it’s the kind of place where the pace shifts the moment you arrive. (I spent four blissful days here and have plans to go back.) For anyone looking to reset from the inside out, this desert retreat remains top-tier.

Regent Phu Quoc

Set along Long Beach on Vietnam’s Phu Quoc Island, this design-forward resort pairs contemporary luxury with a deeply grounded approach to wellbeing. The expansive spa leans into sensory-led experiences, from temperature-therapy suites and meditation journeys to Vietnamese techniques thoughtfully reimagined. Suites and villas feel like private sanctuaries, many with plunge pools and sea views, while the wellness programming continues outdoors with sunrise tai chi, sound baths, and guided snorkeling in the surrounding UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Fairmont Mayakoba

Tucked inside a protected mangrove forest on Mexico’s Riviera Maya, Fairmont Mayakoba blends eco-luxury with wellness experiences rooted in tradition. The Willow Stream Spa pays homage to ancient Mayan healing practices throughout its menu. Still, the standout is the on-property temazcal, where guests can book a guided purification ritual inside a stone sweat lodge. Start the day with beach yoga or a sunrise paddle through the resort’s winding canals, then return to refreshed, sun-washed rooms built for deep exhale energy. Thoughtful dining and nature-led activities round out the reset.

Maxx Royal Bodrum

Perched on a private peninsula overlooking the Aegean, Maxx Royal Bodrum is a sleek, ultra-luxury escape with a serious wellness focus. The sprawling Maxx Wellbeing program centers on longevity and functional health, combining diagnostics, personalized training, and restorative therapies in a spa that feels destination-worthy on its own. Between Pilates sessions, hammam rituals, and cold-plunge cycles, there’s plenty of time to post up by the infinity pools or retreat to spacious suites designed for indoor-outdoor living. Nutrient-forward dining and expert-led movement programming complete the experience.

Sensei Lānaʻi, A Four Seasons Resort

Hidden in the pine-covered uplands of Lāna‘i, Sensei offers a refined, data-driven approach to wellness that still feels deeply calming. Guests work with a dedicated Sensei Guide to build a personalized itinerary that may include movement assessments, thermal body mapping, tailored fitness sessions, and spa time designed for recovery and stress relief. The spa is a sanctuary of onsens (outdoor baths), hales (individual spa “homes”), infrared therapy, and massage treatments enhanced by cutting-edge modalities. At the same time, the calm, architectural suites create a backdrop for true mental quiet. Did we mention the Nobu on-site? It’s a perfect restorative paradise.

The Ranch Malibu

For travelers who want structure, results, and a jump-start that leads to lasting change, The Ranch Malibu is the gold standard. Days follow a disciplined rhythm of guided hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains, strength training, restorative yoga, and daily massage, anchored by a plant-forward culinary program that’s equal parts clean and satisfying. The Mediterranean-style cottages and canyon views create a cocooned atmosphere that limits distractions and maximizes focus. Whether the goal is endurance, habit change, or an all-in reset, the program delivers.

Viceroy Bali

Perched in Ubud’s lush highlands, Viceroy Bali, a Small Luxury Hotels property, is a jungle sanctuary where wellness feels intimate, sensory, and nature-led. The Akoya Spa draws from Balinese healing traditions, offering herbal body therapies, energy-balancing rituals, and open-air treatment rooms overlooking the valley. Days can include sunrise yoga, meditation, or sound healing, followed by serious downtime in a private villa with an infinity pool and uninterrupted views of the forest canopy. Calm is the main character here.

Sanctuary Camelback Mountain

Set against Arizona’s Camelback Mountain, this property pairs desert serenity with wellness programming that makes it easy to slow down. Think guided hikes, aerial yoga, and a spa menu built for full-body decompression. The casitas and suites feel like modern desert hideaways, many with sweeping views that change with the light throughout the day. Add chef-driven dining and an atmosphere that gently nudges you offline, and it’s the kind of retreat that helps the new year start grounded.

Huus Quell

Opened in October 2025 in the village of Gonten, about an hour outside Zurich, Huus Quell is shaping up to be one of Europe’s buzziest new wellness addresses. With just 30 suites and exclusive access to the 2,200-square-meter Quell Spa, the retreat blends alpine serenity with high-tech restoration, including oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, infrared treatments, and biohacking-forward offerings. The spa unfolds through themed zones inspired by lake, forest, mountain, and canyon landscapes, while a rooftop pool overlooks rolling Appenzell pastures. Sustainability is core to the property’s DNA, with locally sourced timber and geothermal, solar, and spring-water systems powering the experience.

Ananda in the Himalayas

Set on a former Maharaja’s palace estate overlooking the Ganges Valley, Ananda in the Himalayas has spent 25 years defining what holistic wellness can look like on a global stage. The retreat’s approach is rooted in five pillars, including Ayurveda, yoga and meditation, spiritual awareness, emotional healing, and body-balancing cuisine. Programs begin with an in-depth consultation, which shapes a tailored itinerary of Ayurvedic therapies, dosha-aligned meals, and practices such as pranayama, meditation, and restorative movement. With serene rooms and villas tucked into forested slopes, the whole experience feels deeply grounding.

The Ranch at Rock Creek

Set across 6,600 acres of Montana wilderness, The Ranch at Rock Creek offers a full-spectrum reset where outdoor adventure and restoration go hand in hand. Days can include guided hikes, horseback riding, fly fishing, and mindful movement sessions, as well as structured challenges like the Montana Macnab, a one-day triathlon that blends skiing, trout fishing, and precision shooting. Evenings are made for hot tubs, spa time, and farm-to-table meals, followed by stargazing under Big Sky darkness. Rugged, restorative, and quietly luxurious.

JOALI BEING

Set in the Maldives’ turquoise waters, JOALI BEING is a holistic wellness sanctuary where the ocean serves as both a backdrop and a guide. The resort’s immersive programs focus on mindful movement, personalized wellness journeys, and spa rituals designed to restore balance, often with a water-based emphasis. Villas open directly onto the lagoon for a seamless connection to nature, while curated nutrition and one-on-one coaching support both physical and emotional well-being. It’s the kind of place that makes doing less feel like an art form.

Golden Door

Tucked into the hills of San Marcos, Golden Door has quietly set the standard for immersive wellness experiences for decades. Stays are all-inclusive and highly personalized, anchored by daily private fitness sessions, guided hikes through bamboo forests and citrus groves, and a rotating slate of movement classes that range from yoga and Pilates to tai chi and aqua training. Meals are seasonal, plant-forward, and sourced mainly from the on-site organic garden. At the same time, the Japanese-inspired spa experience includes daily treatments designed to restore both physical and mental balance. With a strict no-phones policy in public spaces and a rhythm that prioritizes presence over productivity, Golden Door is ideal for travelers seeking a disciplined yet deeply nurturing start to the year.
