New Trends in the World of Group Wellness Travel

by Lillian Miller • 12 November 2025

At LTTravel Connection, we’re seeing a lot of trends start to emerge in the growing wellness group travel space. Traditionally, wellness during a group vacation included some morning yoga or an afternoon at the spa. But now, we’re seeing trips with vegan culinary options or juicing menus, sound bathing and meditation with monks, purification programs and cutting-edge spa treatments. Typically, women are leading the way in innovating group wellness itineraries. We’re also seeing wellness transition to a deeper level, with entire itineraries dedicated to wellness and personal growth. Of course, group trips don’t need to focus solely on wellness at the expense of other interests. Wellness combines nicely with time spent in nature. We’ve booked groups to Colombia, where the itinerary features both deep hydration soaks in mineral springs in the Santa Rosa de Cabal hot springs and hikes through the palm trees of the Cocora Valley. The most popular wellness destinations include Indonesia, India, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Morocco, Costa Rica, Iceland, and the countries of Scandinavia, but transformational travel can be found throughout the world depending on what aspects your group is looking for. Booking wellness experiences with a group also comes with an added cost benefit. “Typically, wellness retreats and experiences can be pricey,” says Lillian with to booking them. “But booking these experiences as a group really drives down the cost per person. Thus, the value in going away with a group is incredible!” #expereience #wellness #grouptravel #lttravelconnection
