The idea of a wellness vacation is now more popular than ever. The pandemic has caused many people to become more conscious of their health, thus many are seeking trips that heal the mind and body. Today’s hottest vacation requirements? A chance to strengthen one’s immune system, give anxious minds a break and recharge one’s self holistically.
A few years ago, I was lucky enough to have attended a wellness program at the Aegle Wellness Center in Balesin, an exclusive island in the Pacific Ocean. It was a weeklong stay that had health and wellness at its core. Upon arrival, we were given a comprehensive diagnostic checkup, and everything—meals, workouts, medical treatments—hinged on the results. A holiday that involves blood tests, sessions in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and nutritionist-recommended meals might not sound relaxing, but it was one of the most restful and restorative trips I’d ever taken.
Calm One, Calm All
Aegle now takes this a step further with their Serenity Series, weekends that offer a variety of health and wellness programs, ranging from restorative yoga to activities such as diving, photography, and various exercise programs. The Serenity Series was launched in 2020, with much success as worn-out city dwellers flocked to the beautiful island for a dose of calm and rejuvenation in a safe and secure environment. This year, the series will continue, with even more offerings on the menu.
Guests taking part in the Serenity Series can look forward to 3 days and 2 nights of bliss on the exclusive island, including roundtrip airfare, villa accommodations (sanitized with UV treatment), an Antigen Swab Test (taken at the Aegle center in Makati), daily healthy gourmet breakfast, and a host of wellness and medical offerings. On the menu are the Body Composition Analysis, Direct Micronutrient Analysis, Light Therapy, and Autonomic Nervous System Stress Response Test—all designed to give client and doctor an in-depth understanding of the guest’s current state of health. Once your unique needs are diagnosed, solutions include the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Immune Boost IV Drip, Local Fat-reduction Slimming Treatments, and 30-day Immune Booster Packs.
Soak It In
Oh, and there’s Thalassotherapy, which one can indulge in with the many specially designed pools. The treatment, which uses seawater plus other natural elements, can aid in detoxification, anti-aging and regeneration. Literally, one soaks in a jetted tub and lets the water and the elements do all the work. A smoothie or green juice, plus Aegle Balesin’s stunning view of the Pacific, are highly recommended enhancements to this treatment.
Of course, the island also offers scores of nature-centered activities to indulge in. Whether it’s a leisurely bike ride, a languorous dip in the resort’s many beaches, birdwatching, or soaking in a healthy dose of vitamin D, you can look forward to this serene feeling lasting well beyond the weekend.
