Following a tumultuous 2020, holidays that focus on relaxation and wellness are becoming a necessity to ease the mental effects of months spent in lockdown. Self-care has been essential in recent months and is now becoming a priority when planning a holiday.
Air Charter Service has selected five of the best luxury European wellness retreats to visit by private jet post-lockdown, where travellers can achieve their own physical and mental wellness goals for 2021. Each resort is linked to a wellness prediction or trend for the year.
