4-Day Wellness for Life Mini-Retreat in Florida

The programme is sold as a package with a set list of inclusions rather than a fixed daily timetable. On arrival you have a comprehensive fitness and nutritional consultation with a trainer, which sets the direction for the rest of the stay. From there you get one personal fitness training session with a certified trainer, a hands-on guided stretch and range-of-motion session, and a private guided meditation session.

Each day you can choose from the resort's fitness class timetable, which includes yoga, Pilates, Zumba and aquatic classes. The aquatic classes are described as award-winning. You are not locked into a group schedule — you pick what you want each day.

The spa side is substantial: three Swedish massages, one herbal wrap or hydro bath, and one European facial. The massages are described as being to enhance function and aid the healing process; the wrap or hydro bath is for relaxation and detox.

Meals are covered — breakfast, lunch and dinner plus healthy snacks, with the exact arrangement based on your arrival and departure times. You also have access to all resort amenities throughout: three pools, two whirlpools, a steam room and a sauna.

Round-trip transportation from Tampa or St. Petersburg/Clearwater airports is included. The package starts any day of the week, and you need to give seven days' advance notice when booking. To reserve, you call 888-BESTSPA (237-8772).
