At the year’s start, many eagerly list goals for the coming year, aiming for self-improvement and positive change. And more often than not, taking better care of our mental and physical health is a top priority. We commit to beginning a gym membership, indulging in leisurely outdoor walks, consuming nutritious meals, and prioritizing relaxation and rejuvenation. But somehow, real life gets in the way of our aspirations for a journey to healthier living.
From long working hours on the computer and the manic rush to meet deadlines and targets, to the constant connectivity through smartphones, emails, and social media, switching off and unwinding has become incredibly difficult. Inevitably, stress in modern society is on the rise, leading to long-term detrimental effects on physical and mental health. Unsurprisingly, wellness holidays and retreats surge in popularity, providing travelers a chance to rejuvenate, recharge, and prioritize self-care.
Holidays inevitably offer a break from the stress of everyday life, giving you the chance to mentally and physically recharge. And because you won’t be thinking about work, rushing to the supermarket, or deciding what the family will eat for dinner, you’ll have all the time in the world to indulge in wellness activities and do the things that will make you feel better, inside out. From soothing spa treatments and uplifting yoga sessions to healthy lunches in the sunshine and new outdoor adventures, it’s all about rejoicing in the activities that make you happy from morning to night.
Moreover, a wellness holiday will also give you the chance to bond with loved ones and focus on the happiness you share. It’s the perfect occasion to enjoy quality time together, foster connections, and create lasting memories.
Yearning for a much-needed pause to rest? Want to recharge and prioritise self-care with your other half? A rejuvenating getaway awaits at the couples-only 5-star Amanti hotel by the sunkissed shores of Ayia Napa in Cyprus. Here, we perfectly design and cater every aspect of your getaway for mindfulness and serenity, allowing rejuvenation towards better health.
Forget the outside world and begin your healing holiday with a leisurely walk around the hotel’s meticulously landscaped grounds. Then, let the warm sun soothe your soul as you top up on your vitamin D on your personally allocated sunbed. Boost your energy levels during your couples wellness retreat with a freshly squeezed juice or fruit smoothy and take a plunge in the cool waters of the Saffire Infinity Outdoor Pool – a haven of bubbling fountains and lush greenery. Or hide away in the secluded tropical paradise of the Evera Outdoor Pool with its spa-style whirlpools and back massagers.
In our busy lives, we often reach for comfort food that’s easy and convenient without really thinking about its nutritional value. But this can often leave us feeling lethargic, craving more ‘quick fixes’, and eating more sugar and calories than we really should.
At Amanti, food for the soul is integral to every couple’s wellness retreat. Our world-class chefs ensure every meal is packed with fresh ingredients to boost your immune system and tantalize taste buds.
During your healthy eating vacation, every moment is one to savour, with extensive culinary offerings as part of the hotel’s convenient Half Board Premium experience. Whether you’re on a diet and watching your weight or simply want to eat organic, vegetarian, vegan, or lactose and gluten-free food, there’s plenty to satisfy your cravings from morning to night at four signature restaurants.
Kickstart your morning with delicious eggs, wholegrain breads, and cereals at the breezy Ezaria. Come lunchtime, supercharge the day with healthy superfood salads. When the sun goes down, indulge in the authentic and fresh flavours of the Mediterranean (famed as one of the healthiest cuisines in the world) at the atmospheric Fortolana. Or head high to the Immenso rooftop restaurant for a taste of the finest raw ingredients and a delightful fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisine (Nikkei) in a menu crafted by Michelin-starred chef Theodor Falser. Take your pick from vegan or seafood poke bowls, sushi, sashimi, pan flashed salmon, and many more healthy indulgences. Gastronomes delight in Nocturne’s exquisite tasting menu, curated by Michelin-starred chef Theodor Falser, offering an unparalleled culinary experience.
Throughout your relaxation retreat at the Amanti, a range of wellness activities help you relax, decompress, and strengthen your body. Special yoga sessions are organised on various days throughout the week, focused on balancing mind and body. Suitable for all ages and body types, you’ll stretch your muscles, work on your core strength and practice mindful breathing techniques that help calm the nervous system and reduce stress levels. Relaxation techniques incorporated into your yoga session can help with headaches, insomnia, body stiffness, lower back pain, and much more.
Once you’ve stretched your muscles and quietened your mind, head to Evera Spa & Wellness for a truly rejuvenating wellness holiday experience. Revitalize your skin with luxurious facial treatments, and celebrate your love and wellbeing with side-by-side couples’ treatments and massages. Wash away stress with a deep anti-tension massage or opt for a harmonising massage inspired by ayurveda. After your treatment, take time to fully unwind in the serene setting of Evera Indoor Pool before leaving the spa.
At the end of every sunkissed day at the Amanti, you’re invited to unwind in rooms created for blissful relaxation. Every room and suite at this luxury wellness resort blends chic interiors with contemporary comforts and amenities, offering guests a choice between picturesque garden and pool views or serene inland vistas. Tailored services and signature experiences are meticulously crafted to elevate every aspect of your wellness holiday.
