You may have been feeling the heat already, but summer’s official start is June 20-22, with the year’s longest days scheduled for this weekend. What better time to start thinking about a wellness trip as a group, when the days are long enough to enjoy every last ray of sunshine?
The following choices span old school and high-tech, from mountain heights to sea level, but the result is the same—feeling better and shaping up for whatever is on the agenda for the rest of the year.
Yoga in the Sky
Here’s something new for groups this summer, happening on the world’s longest timber-towered suspension bridge: Yoga in the Sky at SkyBridge Michigan in Boyne Falls, MI.
Every Saturday from June 29 to Aug. 3, groups will be guided through an invigorating hike up Boyne Mountain followed by a serene yoga session on the world’s longest timer-towered suspension bridge, 118 feet in the air. Whether a seasoned yogi seeking a breathtaking backdrop or a beginner curious about mindful movement in nature, Yoga in the Sky caters to all levels.
After the yoga session, the holistic experience continues to foster a deeper connection with nature, offering full-day access to the panoramic views of SkyBridge Michigan and the opportunity to relax at one of the many dining locations like Forty Acres Tavern, Eagle’s Nest and more. Groups can make a longer stay out of it by booking any of the unique stays Boyne Mountain has to offer including Chalet Edelweiss, Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa and many others.
Pendry San Diego
Whether an incentive or wellness-focused business retreat, the Spa Pendry at Pendry San Diego offers an intimate yet sophisticated space with deluxe treatments and curated specials that locals and hotel guests can enjoy throughout the summer as they prioritize self-care, mental health, and recovery to take full advantage of the season’s opportunities for recreation. Consider the following for your clients:
- A Summer of Flowers Package embraces San Diego’s peak lavender season with a spa day that includes a sound and vibration therapy session in the Wellness Lounger followed by a 60-minute Sea Salt & Lavender Body Polish and a 60-minute Calming & Nourishing Facial. Available through July 2024.
- Spa Garden Cabana Massage at Spa Pendry is a relaxing treat, and if attendees book in August, they receive a complimentary Collagen & Gemstone Eye Mask Enhancement.
- Yoga & Wellness with Jano Galindo: Indulge in self-care San Diego style with native lululemon ambassador, Jano Galindo, during a personal yoga session on the open-air rooftop pool deck where he will tailor a custom class of yoga, breathing practices and meditation to each guest’s personal skill level and interest. After the completion of the morning flow, guests will enjoy breakfast at The Pool House and complete the wellness outing with a trip to lululemon for special discounts and a complimentary custom fitting.
- eFoil with Chuck Glynn: Develop a new skill following San Diego’s Lift Foils ambassador, Chuck Glynn, as he guides guests on the ins & outs of hydrofoiling, the latest wave of action adventure on the water, during a private lesson. Head out to the waters of Mission Bay—or San Diego Bay, if there are experienced efoilers in the group—with Chuck by your side every wave of the way.
