Now that the holidays have passed it’s the perfect time to return to wellness. Set a New Year’s resolution to make time to escape for a wellness-infused vacation. Gone are the days when vacations meant over-indulging. Now a new crop of wellness properties and amenities means you can get away for a break and come back recharged and ready to take on 2019.
“Wellness is the new luxury,” said Tzell Travel Co-president Cindy Schlansky. “Our increasingly hectic and over-scheduled lives mean that often those looking to disconnect must schedule time away to focus on health and wellness. And we find that rather than traveling for total relaxation, travelers want to be active and plug into new wellness learnings and practices.”
We asked Tzell Travel advisors to suggest hot wellness properties for 2019. Each of the following hotels and resorts are a part of the Tzell SELECT Hotels & Resorts network which allows Tzell advisors to offer complimentary amenities such as room upgrades, breakfast included, early check-in and late check-out upon availability, Wi-Fi and food and beverage credits at hotel restaurants, to name a few.
Hot wellness resorts according to Tzell Travel advisors, that are a part of the Tzell SELECT collection include:
Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa – Settled in the middle of 200 lavishly landscaped acres along the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea in Mexico’s Riviera Maya, guests can immerse themselves in as much or as little as they like at Belmond Maroma.

The treatments come from ancient rituals and a holistic healing approach, such as the traditional Temazcal ceremonies that will help visitors detox and purify their bodies. In many of its treatments, the spa incorporates honey that is known for its strong antimicrobial properties, from stingless Melipona bees.
