Introduce kids to wellness tourism on family travel. Adults often escape to a spa or retreat to reset, and with wellness travel on the rise, this retreat in Belize offers an experience for the whole family.
Founded in 2014 by members of the Garofalo Family, Sattva has become one of Belize’s top retreat centers. Located in the foothills of Belize’s Mayan Mountains, Sattva Land provides a tranquil space for travelers to reconnect with nature and find a deeper connection to oneself.
“As an emerging holistic, retreat destination for families, we realize how impactful mind-body practices are for reducing stress, improving mental clarity, and promoting emotional well-being; for humans of all ages,” said Sam Combs, general manager, Sattva. “These practices emphasize being present to foster a deep connection between the mind and body. At Sattva Land we take it a step further and employ nature’s therapeutic benefits too.”
On Feb. 19, 2025, families can attend the four-night family wellness retreat featuring programs and activities focused on relieving stress and anxiety for travelers of all ages. Activities are rooted in nature, culture, adventure and togetherness. Some examples include:
- Children’s Emotional Awareness workshops
