The answer is a resounding yes. Our wellness holidays go far beyond the traditional fly and flop holiday. They’re transformative experiences which provide lifelong benefits, whether it’s a healthy holiday to help you manage your stress levels, lose weight, detox or learn a new skill. You’ll return home inspired and with the knowledge you need to pursue a happier and more peaceful lifestyle. Here are a few of the benefits you can expect from one of our luxury wellness holidays:

When planning an activity holiday, how do you know which type to choose? Do you want to take things at your own pace, or take a more direct route to help kick-start a healthy new fitness regime? There is a wide range of exciting health and fitness breaks available that all boast fun and exhilarating ways to help you slim down, get fit, and shift those last few stubborn pounds. We offer two distinctive options for those looking for an energetic getaway; bootcamp holidays and fitness holidays, but which one is right for you?

Tennis anyone? Come rain or shine on 23rd June Wimbledon will return and inspire us all to dig out that dusty tennis racket and hit the courts. Carry on the momentum on one of our destination tennis holidays, where you can practice perfecting your serve and boost your fitness in some of world’s most desirable locations and luxurious resorts.

Europe is full of destinations for short wellness breaks but if you are looking for an affordable healthy holiday then Svata Katerina in the Czech Republic will surely fit the bill.

Located about 2 hours from Prague near the small town of Počátky, Svata Katerina is a place for those who love the countryside. Set in several acres of green pastures and forests, they offer outdoor activities including tennis, horse riding, hiking, biking, dog sledding, and in the winter time skijoring, a cross between skiing and horse riding. The wellness centre offers a spa, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi giving you the perfect combination of spa and sport.

Fitness fanatics know that the key to keeping fit and healthy is to look after your body; to warm-up, stretch and care for your muscles before and after an invigorating workout. A spa and fitness holiday can be the perfect chance to push yourself physically, before setting aside some time to rejuvenate and unwind with luxury treatments. Stretch your limbs before a Bootcamp class with a yoga lesson, or enjoy a therapeutic deep-tissue massage designed to untangle knots and strains.

Get more out of your next holiday than a fly-and-flop week spent vegetating on the beach. Utilise that precious ‘me time’ by learning a new skill and achieving a life goal that will benefit you long after you get home on a healthy holiday to enhance your life. At Health and Fitness Travel we will whisk you away on an overseas adventure that combines learning together with improving your physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

Whether you're a keen tennis player or just taking up the sport, our tennis holidays are a great match for you. Wimbledon, the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, takes place between 24th June and 7th July and sees the best tennis players competing to win the Championships. Wimbledon hosts an incredible tournament for all fans to get involved, whether you want to watch the action from 'Henman Hill', indulge with afternoon tea as you enjoy the atmosphere or even work on your own tennis skills at the local tennis courts.

Pranayama is the 'Science of Breath', the control of the vital force (prana) in the air we breathe. It is a meditation technique that consists of slow, regulated deep breathing, which helps to calm the mind, balance the emotions and reduce stress and anxiety. It can be practised anywhere but it is advised that you meditate in a clean, peaceful place. It is most beneficial to do pranayama in the early morning or evening hours and playing appropriate soft music will also enhance your experience.
