Iceland

Iceland’s otherworldly scenery may just be the closest thing to an out-of-body wellness travel experience. The country’s natural beauty gives the ideal refuge from daily distractions because it is equally harsh and peaceful. Your wellness adventure begins with a trek up Skjuhl Hill, where you can see Reykjavik’s mosaic-like buildings before continuing along the country’s southern shore.

If you travel to Iceland using private transportation, you might want to take your time and see the famous Golden Circle and Thingvellir National Park before taking a special meditation retreat to the breathtaking black-sand beaches of Reynisfjara. And a trip to Iceland would not be complete without a stop at the Blue Lagoon, a naturally heated wellness treat for tourists willing to fly halfway around the world just to relax.

Iceland is the third-happiest country in the world according to the World Happiness Report, which ranked countries on a variety of criteria including social support, freedom, and life expectancy.
Part of what makes Iceland rank so highly is the vast amount of endorphin-boosting wellness activities that are available in the country. If you travel to Iceland to revitalize and relax your body, mind and spirit, then be sure to explore breathtakingly beautiful areas and mix them with restorative activities like yoga and meditation and delicious healthy cuisine. Other wellness activities available include parasailing, boat riding, hiking and cycling.
