From fitness boot camps to mind-body retreats, health-focused trips are the hottest ticket to book.

Forget sightseeing or lounging on the beach. These days, finding some “me time” on vacation is taking on a whole new meaning, with more and more travelers booking getaways with a purpose: Self-improvement.

“In this fast-paced and often chaotic world, it should be no surprise that wellness retreats are an increasingly popular trend,” says Steve Jermanok, founder of Boston-based Active Travels travel agency. “People need to de-stress, turn off, and replenish the well.”

While most wellness retreats emphasize self-exploration and stress reduction, there’s usually no shortage of fun ways to break a sweat and interact with others, he says. Check out these conveniently packaged out-of-the-box getaways to find one that’s just right for you.

Unplug and unwind. Meditation-focused retreats are great if you’re looking to escape information overload. You’ll unplug from life’s distractions—and part with your cell and laptop upon checking in. Expect meditation workshops where you’ll not only engage in much-needed silence and meditative sessions, but learn tips for practicing mindfulness at home. Also expect activities like sunrise yoga, tai chi, aromatherapy massages and organic meals.

Call to action. Sit at the computer all day long or have a schedule that’s so stretched there’s little wiggle room to fit in an exercise routine? You might need a kick in the pants to get fitness back in your life. Thankfully, there are action-oriented adventure wellness retreats to give you that energy boost you crave—as well as massage and relaxation. Expect to spend most of your time on your feet, doing guided activities like mountain climbing and paddleboarding. You’ll also get healthy, organic meals.

Back on track. Life gets busy, and it’s so easy to let things go—including your health. If you have newly discovered health issues or need to refocus your health goals (such as weight loss), there are retreats to help you get on track. Expect a meal plan, fitness routine, and massage services all customized to your needs. The idea is to leave with specific tips for sustaining your newfound wellness routine back home.

Getting to know you. Part of life is about being there for others, and that’s important. In the meantime, it’s easy to become disconnected from your own cares and needs. A mindfulness retreat is an ideal way for you to reconnect with yours-truly through relaxation activities like yoga, meditation, and massages (yes, plural!)—and there’s often fine wine and gourmet meals because this type of getaway isn’t as much about being health conscious as it is about celebrating you.
