9 life-changing wellness vacations you can book for under $1,000

A mind-blowing trip to Ubud, Bali (or these seven other dreamy wellness destinations) is definitely worth adding to your travel bucket list. But the cost of the average blissed-out escape can be a major barrier for most people in need of a mind-body-soul reboot.

Fortunately, there are plenty of wallet-friendly, healthy travel options available right now capable of scratching that wanderlust itch without busting your budget. (I’m talking less than a 20-class pack at SoulCycle.) Many resorts even include meals and activities in your accommodations fee, so the only thing stopping you from days filled with yoga, workouts, surfing, and spa treatments is an airfare deal. Time to set that Google Flights alert.

Here are 9 wellness-focused retreats and destinations that you can score for less than $1,000 in places as far-flung as Thailand and Nicaragua.

Omm Retreats' Yoga in Paradise Island Getaway

Location: Isla Holbox, Mexico

Major draw: Trendspotters are calling Isla Holbox the next Tulum, so get to this laid-back island and nature preserve on the Caribbean before everyone else does—like from November 12-17 for the next Omm Retreats yoga getaway at Hotel Villas Flamingos. While there, you’ll conquer two hours of yoga in the morning and then again in the afternoon, which leaves plenty of time for a well-earned siesta in an over-water hammock.

Cost: $990 (for early birds)
