Wellness: Five holidays for good health
If you must travel, here are some wellness ideas that will help your trip serve a purpose. So, pick what works best for you and get going
No matter where life takes you, take wellness with you. That has always been my belief and it has only been emphasised in these last two pandemic-affected years. 
I visited Carnoustie Ayurveda and Wellness Resort for a 14-day detox plan in pre-pandemic times, as my back had been reporting niggling aches and pains. 
Located atop Visakhapatnam’s Healing Hills, Pema Wellness is paradise. Overlooking the Bay of Bengal on one side and the Eastern Ghats on the other, the property comes alive across 28 lush acres in 136 lavish rooms and four suites designed by leading architect Popo Danes from Bali. 
A 60-minute drive from humdrum Delhi brought me to a green oasis. I visited Naad with my girl gang. A break with six like-minded girls can be rejuvenating at any point in time and anywhere, but when it’s at a wellness resort like Naad Wellness, there can be nothing more perfect. 
I’ve been to Soukya several times and every time I’ve come back totally recharged. Dr Mathai’s internationally acclaimed health centre attracts the likes of Charles, the Prince of Wales, and his wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, not to mention actor Emma Thompson, for its menu of traditional Indian therapies to “restore the natural balance of the mind, body and spirit”. 
Four hours from Mumbai lies a world class resort perched on a unique crystal hill, with a sweeping view of the majestic Sahyadri range and a fabulous view of the pristine Mulshi lake. It was raining when I arrived, and Atmantan looked even more lush, beautiful and serene than it does in the pictures.
