Bali has been the most popular destination for wellness travel in Indonesia since decades, and this year has been no exception. The island has many spas and resorts offering a variety of treatments like the traditional Balinese massage. Bali also has a wide range of health and wellbeing activities like yoga and meditation.
The neighbouring Island Lombok is another great option for people looking for wellness travel. The island is home to several luxury resorts that offer a variety of treatments and services. There are also many smaller, more intimate spas and wellness centres that offer a more personal experience.
Sumba island, with unique wellness accommodation
Relatively new to the wellness scene is Sumba. Post-pandemic travel has made world travellers look for new destinations and discover Sumba.

Apart from the perfect weather, Sumba offers the ultimate tranquillity and unspoiled magic that Thailand and Bali might have lost along the way.
