The holiday season is wonderful, but with it comes the loaded calories and tiredness from all the indulgence and sinful treats, especially right after Christmas and New Year’s Eve! So as we prepare our list of New Year’s Resolutions, which we’re sure includes travel and being healthy, why not make the most of both by getting away to these gorgeous destinations for some much-needed detox and plenty of relaxation. Think spa treatments and yoga and meditation sessions surrounded by beautiful sights. What more could one ask for?
