For me, travel is all about balance – staying active, eating well, and taking time to truly unwind. As a parent, I also look for holidays that work for family time as well as personal reset. The Healthy Holiday Company completely understands that philosophy. They curate trips that blend fitness, wellness, and relaxation in beautiful destinations, with options for families, couples, or solo escapes. Read about my favourite destinations and how they will gift you an annual subscription to my platform!
Corfu is one of my absolute favourites. I’ve been several times with my family to the North of the Island near St Stephano, which is popular for families with teens. There’s something truly restorative about the combination of turquoise seas, whitewashed villages, and a villa you can stroll out from.
Where to stay: Rent a private villa near St Stephano or stay at a family friendly resort such as IKOS Dassia, or for an adult escape, Domes Miramare.
Barbados is pure sunshine for the soul. The warm Caribbean air, soft sands, and gentle rhythm of island life make it the ultimate destination for rejuvenation. I love a beach workout followed by a swim in the turquoise sea.
Where to stay: The Fairmont Royal Pavilion, Sandpiper and Coral Reef are my favourites. Make sure you book a lunch at Lone Star, it’s also a great spot for live music in the evenings.
Portugal offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I love the rugged coastal trails for morning runs, followed by ocean swims and deliciously fresh local food. With its laid-back charm and abundance of outdoor activities, it’s an easy choice for anyone looking to unwind.
Where to stay: Rent a private villa or stay in one of the beautiful 5* resorts such as Pine Cliffs or Vila Vita Parc on the Algarve, they both have superb fitness and spa facilities. As you know I love the Six Senses brand, and Douro Valley is incredibly special.
Ibiza will always hold a special place in my heart, as it’s where I hosted my first retreat. Beyond its party reputation lies an incredible wellness scene – think sunrise hikes, open air fitness classes, and nourishing farm to table meals. The island’s energy is infectious; it’s the ideal spot to feel inspired, recharged, and a little bit free.
Where to stay: It has to be Six Senses Ibiza. The ME Hotel, Nobu and Oku Ibiza are all great hotels though I haven’t stayed there. Lunch at Soho Farmhouse is a must.
I’m keen to explore further afield and would love to visit India and Bhutan in the next couple of years. I’m hoping the Healthy Holiday Company can make it happen!
