Honeymoons have traditionally always been associated with getting to know one’s partner a little bit better (in case it is an arranged match). By heading off to a romantic destination for a few days of fun before getting back to ‘real’ life couples can also relax after the hectic wedding planning phase. If you’ve always wanted to do something different, then why not try a wellness honeymoon instead? It’s the perfect way to detox from inside out, connect with your spouse, relax the mind and even find spiritual upliftment! Here are some reasons why you should plan a wellness honeymoon today!
What’s a Wellness Honeymoon
Think of it as a holiday which involves plenty of rest and relaxation. No, seriously, we mean it! You can opt for couple packages which include yoga sessions, meditation time, spa therapy, dance or cooking classes and in short- anything that allows your mind and body to unwind and feel pampered. And yes, such packages are also designed to help the newlywed couple to get to know each other better too.
Does the thought of doing 50 Sun Salutations at dawn seem daunting? Well, here’s the good news- your wellness honeymoon can be as simple or as exotic as you want it to be. If, you’ve always wondered what a real Darjeeling tastes like, always wanted to tango or even learn how to whip up a 5 course French meal- all this and more can be arranged on prior notice at the resort of your choosing. If, a more strenuous workout that leaves you sweaty at the end of it is more to your liking, then don’t hesitate to talk to your wellness consultant first. Here are the many advantages of wellness honeymoons:
- Well, after all that heavy eating and drinking just before the wedding and even on the wedding day, your body gets a ‘time-out’ to slowly repair itself from within. Detoxification is given utmost importance here and the focus remains on staying as close to nature as possible.
- Forget heavy food that’s been laced with overdose of spices and ghee because the food you consume here will be served in consultation with ayurvedic doctors and you can be sure that it will suit your body type too. Think organic, and fresh low calorie food which leaves you feeling light, minus the belching.
- One of the best ways to begin a new journey is by rejuvenating your mind from within so that your partner and you are ready for the ups and downs that await. Wellness honeymoons have been known to bring couples closer as they strive to achieve a balance between the everyday and their private time together.
- It’s possible that just like your tummy, your skin would have taken a beating too what with all the heavy makeup and harsh lights on your skin. That’s why, those spa sessions will help you bring the lost glow back.
- Modern day gadgets can be quite a bane especially when all you both want to do is to just focus on each other. After all, you both haven’t had much time to really interact, in the first place! So, although it needs a little bit of getting used to, you’ll begin to love the fact that at most wellness resorts, cell phones and laptops aren’t allowed at all.
