Finding your forever young! Wellness ranch vacations
Rejuvenate your mind, body and soul on a wellness ranch or lodge vacation, there’s something for everyone!
The explosion of wellness travel is unmissable, with all sorts of new offerings to those seeking vacations that nurture youth, wellbeing and prolong lifespan.
Recent research reveals that over half of travelers are now prioritizing long, vibrant lives, with nature experiences at the forefront.
Here are 3 reasons wellness ranch vacations are the way forward!
🧘🏽♀️ They embrace the allure of quiet
Escape the noise of everyday life on a ‘quietcation’ (yes, these are a thing!) to a wellness ranch or lodge. These ranches nestle in some of the most peaceful corners of the planet, and this level of tranquility will allow your mind to truly rest and recharge, enhance your creativity with new ideas and perspectives – and even stimulate the growth of new brain cells!
🧘🏽♀️ Being social boosts survival
Research shows that easy social connection and time in nature can increase our odds of survival by 50%, and days spent exploring breathtaking trails on horseback and doing yoga classes and spa sessions, followed by evenings gathered around a crackling campfire sharing stories and laughter are more than just good ol’ fun – they help keep us young at heart.
🧘🏽♀️ ‘Workout vacations’ are trending for a reason!
Studies show that there’s been a 50% rise in internet searches for this type of travel, and our wellness ranches allow you to combine your relaxation with your love of horse riding and other invigorating outdoor activities to keep you fit while on vacation.
Taking a vacation is now heralded as ‘the elixir of youth’ and the antidote for nearly every ailment, from insomnia and anxiety, to technology addiction. We think it won’t be long before doctors are prescribing holidays – especially to ranches and lodges!
