Relax, Recharge, Reconnect: Fun Wellness Vacations For A Healthy Spring Break

Spring Break 2025 is shaping up to be a time for more than just escaping the classroom. It’s an opportunity to prioritize family wellness vacations and create healthy habits that last a lifetime.

The Global Wellness Summit’s 2025 Trends report highlights a growing desire for “softcare” – simpler, low-tech, and affordable wellness experiences that focus on social and emotional well-being. This aligns perfectly with our vision of fun, family-focused getaways that rejuvenate both body and mind. Forget the “hardcare” hype of expensive, high-tech wellness; we’re embracing the joy of simpler pleasures and shared experiences.

Let’s explore how to make this Spring Break a truly revitalizing adventure.
