14 Best Wellness Retreats for Women in 2023

Get back to center at one of these relaxing, fulfilling experiences tailored to women.

So, you've had your fill of girlfriend trips filled with partying, getting your drink on, and hitting the hottest spots. For your next vacation, whether solo or with a friend or partner, you want to take it easy, de-stress, and find some inner peace. If a getaway focused on mindfulness, self-care, and your mental and physical well-being sounds like just what you need, you might consider a women's retreat. Maybe you're into chakras, astrocartography, or life path numbers, or perhaps you just want to commune with nature. Whatever your intention, wellness retreats for women can be found across the U.S. and internationally with a wide range of focuses.

"I took the dive into women's retreats last year and now I can honestly say I’m addicted. I’m impatiently waiting for the next one after attending my first women's retreat in 2022, held in Albania, by Alyne Tamir of Dear Alyne Retreats," says Kashlee Kucheran, CEO of Travel Off Path. Kucheran stayed in a villa with 12 other female entrepreneurs who were all strangers at first. By the trip's end, they had become close friends. "We swapped business advice, scaling secrets, best practices, and taught each other valuable workshops on our own expertise." Since then, Kucheran has done two more retreats: one on healthy eating, healing, emotions, and self esteem; and the other on emotions, fears, and body shame.

Interested in rest and relaxation or discovering new things about yourself? There are different kinds of women's wellness retreats out there for you to experience. Ahead, you'll find 14 of our favorites.
