Wellness Experiences Are The New Trend In Travel

Bella Breakdown

It wasn’t that long ago that Airbnb added a revolutionary new aspect to it’s travel booking site. Besides just booking places to stay or rooms to rent, you can now book Airbnb Experiences, taking classes, joining tours or seeing live shows, all as part of your travel itinerary on the site.

So when more and more “wellness” experiences started popping up – things like yoga, meditation groups, spa treatments, etc. – it’s no surprise that they became some of the most popular choices. Last year, Airbnb saw a 500% increase in wellness bookings, proving that this trend is here to last.

If you’re looking for the ultimate restorative getaway this year, one of these experiences might be for you. Here’s a short list of the most popular options on Airbnb:
