Health and fitness-focused vacations offer access to fresh workout routines, advice from professional nutritionists and trainers, and the chance to meet like-minded, motivated people in beautiful destinations. These resorts offer amenities designed to kick start 2019 and help guests achieve their ambitions.

Aqua Wellness Resort, Nicaragua
Tucked into the Pacific coastline of Central America, the affordable Aqua Wellness Resort delivers an escape from reality with treetop rooms straight out of Swiss Family Robinson hanging directly above a white strip of sand.

Surfers staying on-site within a 20-minute boat ride of Nicaragua’s most famous breaks and the concierge can arrange lessons, boat cruises and sports fishing expeditions. After an active day in the sun, guests can unwind with lavish spa treatments or homemade pastries at the on-site bakery.
Calistoga Spa Hot Springs, Calistoga, CA
As the unofficial food and wine capital of California, Napa Valley might be the first place travelers consider for a wellness retreat.
