Our Top Healing Holidays For 2025

When our owner and founder Frances Geoghegan set up Healing Holidays all those years ago, she never imagined that there would be such a demand for a ‘healing holiday’. She regularly get asked about trends in wellness, and always at the top of her list is the increased need for great places to go to heal.

Perhaps life has simply lost its gloss, and you are desperate to get some joy back in your heart?

Maybe you can no longer easily fall off to sleep, or you wake up exhausted after just a few hours?

Are you constantly tired and anxious, or so powered-up that you cannot switch off? Do you feel as though you are drifting through life and have lost purpose?

Or maybe you are grief-stricken and need to heal your broken heart?

This is definitely an area where Healing Holidays excel; we know the best places and the great people who will effect meaningful change to our emotional health. It’s increasingly important to become an active participant in our own lives, and to take charge of that which drives stresses, anxieties and causes imbalances and disharmony in our body, mind and spirit. It’s time to strip back the layers, leave the fight or flight mode, and face our issues head on. We need to understand and acknowledge what ails us, and indeed what needs healing.

In this blog, we highlight our top places for a healing holiday in 2025.

Guided By Gratitude Programme At Four Seasons Resort Bali At Sayan

Located just outside the cultural town of Ubud, the Four Seasons Resort Bali At Sayan is a secluded and intimate hideaway which nestles in the central highlands of Bali, overlooking the sacred Ayung River. Curated by resident wellness mentor and former Buddhist nun Heni Ferawati, Four Seasons Resort Bali At Sayan’s Guided By Gratitude programme is a transformative retreat which is perfect for anyone who needs to take some time out to restore their inner peace and strength.

Integrated Wellness Retreat At Preildhof

For a long time we were compelled to travel to Asia in search of emotional and spiritual nourishment as European spas just did not cut it for the more sensitive, soul-searching and healing side of wellness. We are fortunate that in recent years a few strong ones have started to emerge in Europe, including Preidlhof, which is set in the heart of the South Tyrolean hillside with mesmerising views over the green Vinschgau Valley. Preidlhof’s Integrated Wellness Retreat is a journey of transformational wellness that encourages one to accept and transform the past, enjoy the present, and open up to the future.

Mindfulness & Emotional Balance Programme  At REVIVO Wellness Resort Bali

Surrounded by dense tropical rainforest on the magical island of Bali, this intimate wellness resort is the perfect place to rejuvenate your mind, body and soul. Try REVIVO’s Mindfulness & Emotional Balance programme which is geared towards bringing awareness to the inner workings of the mind, finding stillness in chaos, and learning techniques to help you get off the rollercoaster of emotional turmoil.

Emotional Harmony Programme At Euphoria Retreat, Greece

One of Dharana At Shillim’s top healing programmes is their Mental Resilience programme.

Dhyana Meditation Programme At Ananda In The Himalayas, India

One of the most famous spas in India, and for good reason too, Ananda in the Himalayas has something of a legendary reputation.

One of Kamalaya’s most popular programmes is their Embracing Change programme which is ideal for anyone seeking support for life changes and life challenging situations of any kind, including relationship issues, anxiety and grief.

Tibetan Healing Programme At Six Senses Vana, India

Set on the gentle slopes of a lychee and mango plantation, the dense Sal forest to the west and the hills of Mussoorie to the north, Six Senses Vana was without doubt a real game-changer that knocked traditional wellness off its perch when it first opened its doors in 2014. It was so progressive and comprehensive, suiting those who needed to sort their weight or have a detox alongside those who needed help to heal or grieve. One of our favourite programmes at Six Senses Vana is the Tibetan Healing programme, which aims to reset your fight-or-flight mode, soothe trauma and balance emotions using the principes of Traditional Tibetan Medicine.
