So why are celebrities inspired by a healthy lifestyle? These active and wellness escapes are extremely popular as they contain health and fitness programmes, which are specifically designed to be fun, challenging and offer less traditional exercises. Now, more than ever, celebrities need to look and feel great, which involves maintaining their beautifully sculpted bodies so as to remain in the public eye for a lifetime. A wellness getaway would not only allow you to keep that unnecessary weight off but to enjoy exercising, which over time can become tiresome.
Each spa and sport inspired destination has varying health packages and can be catered according to sex, individual health needs and goals. A celebrity health conscious hideaway can range from yoga and Pilates in the Caribbean, to a spa experience in Mauritius, right up to circus sports in St Lucia.
After your workout, indulge in an exquisite dining experience or simply bask in the glory of your beautiful surroundings and culture. So, here are the top five celeb health resorts meaning that you too can escape to paradise just like your favourite celebrities do.
