After six months of stressing about Covid-19, we could all use a little health and wellness break before the long winter sets in.

As luxury hotels and resorts reopened this summer, there has been a heightened awareness of not only hygiene and social distancing, but also holistic well-being.

Weve been focusing on the fact that well-being is a whole-person issue at this pointnot just physical, says Mark Hoplamazian, president and CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, which recently opened Miraval Spas in Lenox, Mass. and Austin Texas. A lot of programming at Miraval is designed around allowing people to connect with themselves, finding their own balance and calm in the face of a lot of stress and anxiety.

Below are five destination spas that are taking enhanced safety measures while delivering restorative getaway without skimping on the five-star amenities and service.

The Lodge at Woodloch

Hawley, Pennsylvania

Located on 500 acres in the woodlands of northeastern Pennsylvania, less than 100 miles from New York City and Philadelphia, The Lodge at Woodloch has been limiting capacity to ensure abundant distancing while helping guests get their wellness journeys back on track.

As part of that endeavor, class offerings have put a special emphasis on building immunity with detoxing fitness classes and spa treatments and menus highlighting fermented foods and herbal teas. The property has also added a fitness tent to conduct cardio classes in the great outdoors.

Despite the adjustments, the property still offers 20 to 30 classes per day including fitness and wellness, outdoor adventures such as forest bathing, art classes, gardening classes, and cooking demonstrations. Theres even a new hatchet-throwing range so you can take out your pandemic frustrations in a particularly primal and satisfying way.
