India: Shreyas Silent Retreat

The classic aphorism, “quiet the mind and the soul will speak” is what Shreyas Silent Retreat is all about. This textbook away-from-it-all destination makes for a perfect sanctuary for those seeking to fully disconnect. From the moment you step in, you’ll be enveloped by nature’s lulling hum and feel your worries drift away. A typical day at the retreat is spent on meditation, yoga, and self-reflection in silence. You can also look forward to their ‘Rejuvenation’ therapies utilising the principles of Ayurveda and ancient Indian traditions. Shreyas serves a wide variety of vegetarian cuisine inspired from exotic regions in Asia and South America and follows a strict no meat and no alcohol policy.

Vietnam: Amanoi

Escape your daily woes in a warm beachside spa getaway on the southeast coast of Vietnam. Luxury is in each detail at this five-star retreat, melding contemporary elegance with traditional Vietnamese architectural styles. Its pavilions, spa houses, and residences segue into the vast ocean, with some peeking through the valleys overlooking the lush green landscape of the National Park. Apart from its awe-inspiring surrounds, bespoke wellness immersions at Amanoi are a highlight of your stay. Ideal for deep relaxation and inner healing, the stress management program instills the value of mindfulness and spirituality to allow you to live a healthier, more peaceful life.

Thailand: Chiva-Som

If you’ve succumbed long enough to a humdrum high-tech life, then a liberating detox retreat in Thailand is in order. Located on the beautiful private coast in Hua Hin, this luxe health retreat is literally a ‘haven of life’ (also by its Sanskrit translation). With electronic items prohibited in the shared public areas, go about your wellness program unplugged, be it to address stress related issues, aid weight loss or detox. Learn about healthy nutrition during spa cuisine cooking classes and then enjoy a calming walk by the beach. Try an intense session of Muay Thai, before soothing sore muscles with spa treatments for a state of total offline relaxation.

Bali: Zen Resort

True to its name, Zen Resort in Bali, Indonesia is a secluded haven of peace, reflection, and self-discovery. Perched above the Sea of Bali, the retreat offers a de-stressing holiday backdrop for a much-needed break from technology. Zen presents diversity in its wellness offerings, giving you a full schedule of health and fitness activities. Find tranquility in your natural surroundings, whether on land with eco forest walks, by the sea on a sunrise dolphin sail or under with scuba diving. Unwind with advanced holistic treatments including Ayurvedic therapies and Open Chakra massages on the spa pavilion or in the privacy of your own luxury villa.

Malaysia: The Banjaran Hotsprings
