Delft, Netherlands

The Hague is well known as a bustling political and cultural metropolis of The Netherlands, but travelers searching for a moment of mindfulness may opt to stay in the nearby town of Delft, just a 20 minute ride from the city on the number 1 tram. With its quiet, neighborly environment, Delft fits the bill as a quintessential quaint Dutch town. What could be better than waking up to a morning stroll through the car-free town square and wandering along those historic canals?

Canggu, Bali

If you’re finding yourself in need of some luxurious me-time in the form of unbeatable spa treatments, the resort village of Canggu is the place to go. Balinese massage techniques focusing on acupressure, gentle stretches and aromatherapy remained a secret from the rest of the world until the 1930s, and have been admired and sought after ever since. A traditional flower bath is the perfect way to relax and say thank you to your body.

Lago Di Braies, Italy

Located high above sea level in the Italian Dolomites, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the perfect place to recharge and restore peace of mind and body as the new year begins. The lake’s splendor can be enjoyed with a low-impact 2.5 mile hike around the perimeter or by floating along the surface in a rented rowboat.

Dublin may be known for its lively pub scene, but this historic city is also home to some of the greatest rejuvenation locations around. Just 7.5 miles outside of the city center lies the seaside suburb of Dún Laoghaire, where you’ll find a slower pace of living and gorgeous coastal views. Head back to the city to unwind at The Marker Hotel’s fabulously sleek spa, which boasts a luxurious infinity pool and eucalyptus-infused steam room.
