We all love a good vacation, but when was the last time you actually came back feeling genuinely happy, healthy and well? When vacay hits, we tend to overeat, drink tons of alcohol, and never get to really see the back of our eyelids. Believe it or not, a “vacation” actually used to include getting some rest.  

If you’re down for a great time of resting easy, eating clean, and rejuvenating your aura, check out these 10 wellness destinations:
