Turning Panama into a Wellness Destination

A wellness destination is a place specifically designed to promote the health and well-being of its visitors. These destinations offer a variety of activities and services focused on physical, mental and emotional well-being. Panama offers fertile ground for this type of destination with its multiple types of climate, access to sea and thermal water sources and, in general, its strategic location in the Americas. We spoke about this with Laurent Dupont, an expert in wellness hotels, spas and thermal waters, who invites us to turn Panama into the wellness destination of the LATAM region. 

Some of the activities typical of a Wellness Destination are:

• Spas and beauty treatments: Massages, thermal baths, facial and body treatments.
• Physical activities: Yoga, pilates, gyms, hiking and water sports.
• Healthy nutrition: Restaurants and menus with healthy options, cooking classes and nutritionists.
• Relaxation and meditation: Quiet spaces for meditation and relaxation, such as Zen gardens and meditation rooms.
• Wellness Programs: Workshops and therapy sessions addressing topics such as stress management, mental health and personal growth.

Popular examples of wellness destinations include resorts in Bali, islands in the Caribbean, mountains in Switzerland, and retreats in Thailand. These places are designed to help you disconnect from daily stress and recharge your energy in a healthy and rejuvenating environment. What if we include Panama in that list? 🌿✨
