EVEN Hotels by IHG
EVEN Hotels by IHG takes a health-forward approach with all of its properties, which is why each room includes free on-demand streaming fitness classes, plus all the gear you need to complete them. If resistance bands, exercise ball and yoga mat in your room don't cut it, there's also a gym. For food before or after your sweat session, the on-site restaurant specializes in healthy versions of your favorite dishes.
The Westin Anaheim Resort
One of Marriott Bonvoy's newest properties in California, The Westin Anaheim Resort, opened in mid-2021 just steps from Disneyland. This new location has skillfully crafted its fitness amenities while focusing on in-room wellness offerings like its Sleep Well Menu, making a theme park vacation feel rejuvenating. The hotel's signature WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio is a comprehensive in-house gym that features Peloton bikes, strength training and industry leading cardio machinery — alongside a bespoke Hypervolt recovery station designed by Hyperice, a recovery system (which we've previously featured in our 2022 Fitness Awards). The Westin Anaheim Resort is just one of 11 Westin properties featuring this Hypervolt station, making workouts of all intensities much more manageable during a family vacation; especially as the resort also offers guests its RunWESTIN Concierge program featuring three- and five-mile walking and running routes weaving through its setting in Anaheim.
Mount Mitchell Eco Retreat
They say nature is healing, and science shows it can positively impact mental wellness and stress, so why not plan your next adventure right in the heart of Mother Nature. Mount Mitchell Eco Retreat is in the mountains of North Carolina—it features cabin-vibes lodging with eco- and body-friendly bath products, yoga, plenty of hiking, and shared amenities like a healing room for on-site energy sessions, a community kitchen for whipping up tasty and nutritious meals, outdoor grills, and breathtaking views for moments of mindfulness. You won't find TVs or phones in-room because unplugging is a big part of unwinding, and we highly recommend checking out the nearby Bare Dark Sky Observatory for a quiet night of star gazing.
Canopy by Hilton
If relaxing, recharging, sustainability and immersing yourself in your travel destination community is important to you, Canopy by Hilton hotels encompass all of that, and more. Each of the 35 properties (with 28 new ones currently in development), located across the U.S. and beyond, feature little details that speak to the fabric of that city's culture. And there's a huge emphasis on and commitment to sustainability — guests enjoy refillable glass water bottles they're welcome to use for the day, a centrally located filtered water station for water bottle refills, free bikes for exploring, and the brand partners with companies dedicated to sustainability and philanthropy.
Arlo Hotels
These boutique hotels are designed to provide a quiet oasis for rest and relaxation in the middle of bustling urban centers, with an emphasis on sustainability. A portion of each menu is dedicated to plant-based offerings, and what's really unique is the social aspect. Each Arlo Hotels property has a little something different, but you can expect to find regular wellness-oriented events like yoga or fitness classes, rooftop dance parties and more. In fact, this year's summer wellness series, "Summer of Wellth," just kicked off!
Sanctuary Camelback Mountain
Recharge in luxury at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale. Tucked away in the awe-inspiring mountains of Arizona, it's a truly indulgent experience — swim some laps in the lap pool, then relax in the infinity pool overlooking breathtaking landscape. Enjoy a massage or other body therapy at the spa, or take a couple tennis or pickleball lessons. And of course there's plenty of hiking. You can even book a room with a private outdoor soaking tub for a truly mindful escape. And don't forget to check out the on-site restaurants, which feature menus dotted with seasonal, local produce and sustainable seafood.
Post Ranch Inn
If the breathtaking coastal views from Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, California, situated at 1,200 feet above sea level, aren't enough to calm the mind, a quiet hike in one of the nearby California State Parks might do the trick. There's also morning yoga, guided nature walks, and forest meditation offerings. Or, perhaps feeding the foodie in you is your kind of zen—that's also something you can indulge, with a meal at the on-site restaurant Sierra Mar, which offers a menu featuring locally foraged ingredients. And if you need a hand planning your rest and reset, consider the Sleep Program package, designed with top sleep doctors and an indoor air quality expert; it includes a hand-crafted sleep dining menu, spa treatments, a Sweet Dreams gift bag with favorite sleep-promoting products, and an on-demand video series with Michael "The Sleep Doctor™" Breus.
Palmaïa, The House of AïA
Immerse yourself in the ancient rituals and holistic practices that fuel body, mind, and soul at Palmaïa, The House of AïA in Mexico's Playa del Carmen. Pamper yourself with a spa treatment, engage in healing rituals that harness the power of sound, meditate in secluded nature areas or temples, access personal growth guides through the Architects of Life programming and fuel yourself with plant-based cuisine that emphasizes fresh, local ingredients.
Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
There are plenty of outdoor activities and nature adventures to partake in at Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico, but a true standout is the resort's Spa Botanico. It's rooted in history, tradition and culture, so you'll choose from rejuvenating treatments that rely on local botanicals and indigenous ingredients, and you can take a dip in the infinity pool overlooking a pineapple garden. There's also a state-of-the-art fitness center designed to resemble a traditional sugar mill, and several dining options.
JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa
Wellness is all about balance, so what better way to nurture your need for both serenity and excitement than on a private island at JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa in Italy. It's a wellness oasis that's just a quick boat ride from the city of Venice, surrounded by rose gardens and olive groves and tranquil Venetian lagoons. It's home to a large spa, which features traditional spa treatments, as well as unique offerings like a Finnish sauna with salt therapy and personalized skin pampering in partnership with BAKEL Skincare, a clean beauty brand. There's a full fitness center, as well as several pools. And the food is the epitome of farm to table—the island produces its own olive oil, and the restaurant relies largely on fresh herbs and vegetables grown right on site.
Equinox Hotel
Equinox Hotels is the sister hotel brand from the luxury fitness company known for its top notch gyms. Its first location is located in New York City's Hudson Yards, and it boasts a spa, a fitness center with incredible views, an outdoor pool overlooking the Hudson River, sauna huts, an indoor saltwater lap pool, and so much more.

Built around the legendary Puu Kekaa (a.k.a. Black Rock), a formation created by old lava flow that divides Ka'anapali Beach in half, Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa seamlessly blends Hawaiian tradition and culture with wellness and relaxation. There's a nightly cliff diving ritual, water sports and activities, a full spa that draws on ocean plants and Polynesian essential oils and dining options that allow you to explore local flavors.
Spice Island Beach Resort
Discover a quieter, slower and more mindful pace at the all inclusive Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada. The family-owned property features local food on its ever-changing menu and keeps track of dietary restrictions for all guests! There's no shortage of outdoor activities — hiking, tennis, snorkeling — and there's an on-site spa that uses local herbs and spices native to the island. One more highlight: the afternoon tea featuring therapeutic varieties.
Crystal Springs Resort
You don't need to travel to far flung destinations to get a slice of serenity. Crystal Springs Resort is located in Hamburg, New Jersey, not too far outside New York City, and it's a natural wonderland. Besides two spas and plenty of nearby hiking, you can sign up for fitness classes, try goat yoga, engage in guided forest bathing for a moment of mindfulness or chat with Farmer Keith and beekeeper JC about all thing chickens and bees (and meet some on-site feathered friends, too!).

Carillon Miami Wellness Resort
Miami might not seem like a mind-clearing destination, but it can be when you stay at Carillon Miami Wellness Resort. Start your morning with a moment of mindfulness while you take in the sandy shores and glistening waters of Miami Beach, then have some fun while you take advantage of daily fitness classes and a rock climbing wall, nearby parks and outdoor activities, or relax while you float in one of four pools. The spa is run by a team of holistic practitioners and board-certified physicians who offer a mix of East-meets-West wellness treatments such as cupping, facials, massages that infuse aromatherapy and crystal work into the session or trendy treatments like salt float bath therapy and infrared therapy.
