Wellness Destination of the Year: Barbados
When George Washington’s brother became ill in 1751, he was taken to Barbados, with the hope that the warm climes and environment would cure him. Indeed, for hundreds of years, people have been venturing to the island for its gentle, warm, seemingly curative environment, and that’s particularly true today. Barbados has an impressive slate of wellness hotspots, from grand spas at resorts like Sandy Lane to the all-inclusive wellness at The Waves and the holistic wellness experience at the historic Sweetfield Manor. It’s something you sense the moment you land — you seem to instantly feel better.
