September is the perfect month to hit pause. After a season of indulgence and before the sprint into year-end, it’s the ideal moment to reset body, mind, and soul.
But in 2025, wellness travel has evolved. Forget the clichés of massages and green juices. Today’s luxury wellness retreats offer transformative programmes that blend medical science, holistic healing, and world-class hospitality. With the guidance of a luxury travel agent like Travel Seen, you can access clinics and retreats that are normally out of reach — places designed to help you feel renewed and re-energised long after your trip ends.
Here are five of the best retreats in the world to consider for your September escape.
