BodyHoliday Named One of the World’s Best International Wellness Retreats by Travel + Leisure

We are delighted to share that BodyHoliday has been recognised among the Top 5 Best International Wellness Retreats in Travel + Leisure's 2026 World's Best Awards, achieving an outstanding reader score of 95.60.

For us, this recognition is about more than a ranking. It reflects something at the heart of BodyHoliday: creating a place where people can dedicate time to themselves, discover what makes them feel their best and return home renewed.


Recognition from Travellers Around the World

Travel + Leisure’s annual World’s Best Awards are determined by its readers, who share their experiences and opinions on hotels, resorts, destinations, spas and travel experiences around the world.

More than 207,000 readers participated in the 2026 survey, casting 661,000 votes across more than 10,088 properties and travel experiences.

To be recognised among the world's leading international wellness retreats is therefore particularly meaningful, and a reflection of the experiences our guests continue to have with us in Saint Lucia.


Wellness That Becomes Your Own

At BodyHoliday, we have always believed that wellbeing is personal.

Our philosophy has long been captured in one simple promise:

“Give us your body for a week and we’ll give you back your mind.”

For one guest, transformation might begin with movement, discovering a new fitness class, challenging themselves physically or returning to an activity they once loved.

For another, it might mean slowing down, finding time for mindfulness, spending time in nature or simply allowing the body to properly recover.

That freedom to choose is central to the BodyHoliday experience.

Our all-inclusive wellness experience brings together movement, fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, adventure and restorative experiences, allowing each guest to create a wellness journey that feels right for them.


Time Dedicated to Restoration

Award-Winning Destination Spa. At its heart is a Wellness Centre.

Every full day of your stay includes one 50-minute spa treatment, excluding arrival and departure days, making dedicated time for your wellbeing an integral part of the BodyHoliday experience.

Beyond this, guests can explore a wide range of wellness experiences and therapies, while an extensive programme of activities provides opportunities to move, learn, challenge yourself or simply try something new.

The result is not a prescribed approach to wellness, but the freedom to find your own balance between activity and restoration.


A Recognition Shared With Our People

An experience like BodyHoliday is ultimately brought to life by people.

This recognition belongs to the team members who welcome our guests, lead classes, prepare meals, deliver wellness experiences and treatments, maintain our surroundings and create the thoughtful moments that become part of each guest's stay.

It also belongs to our guests.

Their continued trust in BodyHoliday, their stories and their decision to return year after year inspire us to keep evolving what a wellness holiday can be.


Your Wellness Journey Awaits

Being recognised by Travel + Leisure as one of the world's Best International Wellness Retreats for 2026 is an honour, but the most meaningful part of the BodyHoliday experience will always be what each guest takes home with them.

More energy. Greater balance. A renewed sense of wellbeing. Or simply the feeling that comes from finally making time for yourself.

Because sometimes, the greatest transformation begins by giving yourself the time to experience it.

Start your wellness journey at BodyHoliday, Saint Lucia.

How Tropical Climates Transform Your Skin Naturally

 How Tropical Climates Transform Your Skin Naturally There’s something undeniably radiant about skin that has spent time in a tropical climate. At The BodyHoliday, nestled in greenery and surrounded by warm ocean breeze, we often hear guests say the same thing: “My skin feels different here.” And they’re right. Tropical environments offer a unique blend of natural elements that can gently and visibly transform your skin, without complicated routines or harsh products. This is why: 1. Natural Hydration from Humidity One of the most immediate benefits of a tropical climate is the high humidity. Unlike dry, temperate environments that strip moisture from the skin, tropical air helps your skin retain hydration. This natural moisture boost can leave your skin looking plumper, softer and more luminous. Fine lines may appear less noticeable, and that coveted “dewy glow” becomes effortless. 2. Increased Blood Circulation Warm temperatures encourage better blood circulation. As yo...

Why Recovery is Just as Important as Your Workout

Why Recovery is Just as Important as Your Workout At The BodyHoliday, wellness is about more than just movement. While exercise is essential for building strength, improving cardiovascular health, and boosting energy, true wellbeing comes from balance; and that includes giving the body time to recover. In today’s culture of constant productivity, rest is often overlooked or mistaken for laziness. But recovery is not a pause from progress; it is part of the process itself. Whether you are enjoying sunrise yoga overlooking the Caribbean Sea, hiking Saint Lucia’s lush trails, or challenging yourself with strength training sessions, your body needs time to repair, restore, and recharge. Recovery Is Where Growth Happens Every workout places stress on the body. Muscles experience tiny tears, energy stores become depleted, and the nervous system works hard to keep you moving. Recovery is the period where the body repairs those muscles, replenishes energy, and adapts; ultimately making you str...
