In the pursuit of inner healing, new wellness practices invest in balance—between mind, body, and a life lived well.
Digital Detox
The growing dependence on mobile phones and screens has led many people to reconsider their relationship with digital devices, to the point where digital detox is expected to emerge as a major trend in 2026. An increasing number of studies are being published on the amount of time users spend in front of screens, while many celebrities are stepping away from social media—either temporarily or for longer periods. Acknowledging the need to disconnect from all things digital, Eremito has been offering, since 2013, a secluded retreat far removed from the pace of modern life. As its name suggests, it is a secular hermitage, where guests can experience moments of relaxation and renewal, away from the noise of everyday life, in an enchanting setting protected by UNESCO.
The Return of the Sauna
In the post-pandemic era, enthusiasts of this practice have turned once again to high-temperature dry saunas, hoping to rid the body of toxins while introducing another form of social interaction into their daily lives—stimulating both body and mind. In the Vinschgau Valley of South Tyrol, Italy, Das Gerstl Alpine Retreat stands as a true paradise for sauna lovers, offering exceptional sauna facilities with panoramic views over the valley. Set within a breathtaking alpine landscape, the resort is considered an ideal destination for one of the most impressive operating saunas, hosting two to three sessions daily for its devoted followers. With a wide range of wellness services, Das Gerstl Alpine Retreat ensures that every guest can find their own perfect way to relax and unwind in this picturesque setting.
Personalized Activities
“Not everything is for everyone” could be the motto of this approach, which proposes specific activities based on the results of examinations conducted individually for each guest. Taking into account the needs of each body and overall quality of life, Sensei Porcupine Creek offers a fully personalized experience, exploring each visitor’s personal journey toward well-being. Set within a 230-acre oasis in the California desert, against the backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains, the retreat combines nature and precisionled wellness. Among the classic activities, guests can enjoy hiking, yoga sessions, and spa treatments, as well as test their endurance on a world-class 18-hole golf course and internationally renowned tennis courts. Founded by Larry Ellison and Dr. David Agus, the retreat was created as a sanctuary for those devoted to a refined approach to living well.
Therapeutic Sleep
Recognizing the importance of quality sleep for overall well-being, the Sleep Enhancement Program at Kamalaya Koh Samui Resort offers a holistic approach to improving rest. Through a range of practices, participants learn how to address insomnia, energy depletion, and timerelated challenges by aligning the body’s internal clock and creating a personalized sleep routine.
