Indulge in Holistic Healing in the California Redwoods
Located in the silence and the beauty of the Californian redwoods, the Body & Soul Wellness Retreat is the perfect place for gay couples to recharge. This retreat is all-encompassing, with practices such as yoga, meditation, and various activities provided every day to also feed the spirit. Spa in the mountains, with forest views, enjoy the fresh mountain air, go for a swim in the hot tub, get a massage and just relax. Another benefit that I have experienced is that after a session, you feel grounded and close as a couple and have a refreshed state of mind.
Bare It All at a Clothing-Optional Resort
For those people who are seeking a liberating and sexual escape, Trinidad Spa & Resort at Mendocino Coast in California should be recommended. This is a luxury nude beach resort that targets only the gay markets, which means that everyone there will be comfortable with their sexuality. Sip cocktails while lounging in the infinity pool and hot tub, pamper oneself with a massage, attend a nude yoga class, and walk barefoot along the shore hand in hand. This is an opportunity that gay couples seek in order to let go of not only stress and restraint but much more.
Revitalize in Tropical Paradise
Within the Hawaiian Healing Holidays, which is situated on Kauai, an island of Hawaii, gay couples can subscribe for a break from their normal routine or work and focus on their health and well-being. This is a perfect place for one to take a break from the usual busy life and yet feel more rejuvenated in the end. Wake up early and take an early morning yoga class with an ocean view, go on a hike at some of the most beautiful trails on the island, engage in surfing lessons, have a boat ride at the Na Pali coast and end the day with a couple of spas.

Detox in Playa del Carmen
I believe that a person’s body and brain might require a total overhaul every once in a while.

They will show you how to detoxify your body through techniques such as juice fasting, colon cleansing, and lymphatic drainage massage. Special Mayan themed treatments and relaxing on-site cenote also contribute to the healing process.

They are usually tailored and include options such as stress management, sleep improvement, weight loss, or a complete overhaul of the client’s lifestyle. Some of the services include nail and hair care, facials, couples massages, nutrition consultation, and sleep therapy from professional wellness experts as per your health goals for both of you as a couple.
