Fly Private to USA’s Top Luxury Retreats

Fly private to the best relaxing retreats in the USA

Health, physical and mental, is becoming more of a priority for luxury travelers, and high-end hotels and resorts are adapting their offerings to cater to this growing demand. While some hotels might add a fitness center with a few treadmills and weights, others go the extra mile to design bespoke wellness destinations and retreats.

Health and well-being look different to everyone. Some prefer a glass of bubbles and a massage, while others opt for a total immersion into a hardcore detox. Whatever it is, you’ll find it at one of the unique luxury health and wellness retreats below.

Shou Sugi Ban House, The Hamptons

Shou Sugi Ban, also known as Yakisugi, is a decorative and meditative wood-burning technique that has been used to preserve wood for centuries in Japan. Named after this technique, Shou Sugi Ban House is a boutique wellness retreat and luxury health spa.

Every program is centered around the belief that every individual walks their own path to wellness. As such, guests are given tailor-made programs in collaboration with highly experienced staff members. 

Shou Sugi Ban House’s wellness program is heavily influenced by the natural world. It incorporates a holistic approach that integrates with the surrounding pine forests and ocean. The program utilizes a guided menu co-created by Noma co-founder Mads Refslund.

Thirteen 400-square-foot studios are located on the serene property, encouraging guests to truly embrace the retreat’s philosophies, communal spaces, and wellness offerings. Each studio has its own private garden patio, luxury soaking tub, and gas fireplace and is decorated using organic Japanese materials.

Shou Sugi Ban House also holds retreats throughout the year hosted by renowned industry leaders.

Each package is tailored for individual needs and targets, and there is a choice between a three-, four-, or seven-day retreat.
