Which destinations does Carolyn Scott consider ideal for wellness-focused vacations?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. I talk a lot about wellness travel, and there are several places I highlight as especially great for health-focused vacations.

From my articles, some top wellness destinations I recommend include:

1. Canada (especially nature escapes and spa retreats near Toronto)
2. Costa Rica
3. Bali, Indonesia
4. New Zealand
5. Sicily, Italy
6. Jamaica
7. Switzerland
8. Los Angeles (especially Santa Monica)
9. Koh Samui, Thailand
10. Portugal
11. Pagosa Springs, Colorado
12. Washington, DC (notably Columbia Heights)

Each offers its own mix of spa culture, outdoor adventure, healthy food and opportunities for relaxation and self-care.

Are you looking for a beachy retreat, a mountain escape, or more of a city-wellness experience?
