National Geographic Traveller — The Collection Magazine

6 February 2025

Find your balance with the new Spa & Wellness Collection by National Geographic Traveller (UK). As longevity takes centre stage in the world of wellness, we uncover the destinations, treatments and lifestyle habits helping people thrive well into their 100s. In this issue, we journey to Blue Zone communities to explore the everyday rituals that contribute to their extraordinary lifespans. We also dive into the latest breakthroughs in longevity science, from cellular therapy and epigenetic testing to neuromuscular training. Elsewhere, we shine a spotlight on the wellness escapes designed to revitalise and restore, including the top sleep-enhancing programmes, burnout breaks and specialised menopause spas. Looking for something a little different? Discover ancient healing traditions in the Caribbean, take a meditative hike in Southwest Herefordshire, and ponder a unique wellness ritual — would you ever bathe in beer? All this, plus a curated guide to the most luxurious hotels, resorts and retreats to inspire your next wellness escape.
