Taking a break from the day-to-day stresses of life is an essential way to recuperate and recharge. Of course, there's more than one way to plan a vacation. While some people view travel as a chance to take a well-deserved break not only from their responsibilities but also their health habits, others put health front and center on vacation by choosing a wellness retreat.

More and more often, people are opting for the latter. They're seeking out exercise programs, organic menus, spas for deep relaxation, and increasingly, tech-driven wellness assessments that can guide their health going forward.

These wellness-oriented vacations are growing in popularity, and experts say they're not likely to lose steam any time soon. In fact, the wellness travel market is currently valued at over $600 billion and is expected to grow to $1.1 trillion by 2025, according to the Global Wellness Institute (GWI).
