Protections When Booking Through Awake & Wander Luxury Travel


Booking through Awake & Wander Luxury Travel gives you peace of mind. We are ATOL-licensed and members of Protected Trust Services. That means every tailor-made holiday includes Supplier Failure Insurance and Scheduled Airline Failure Insurance.


If a supplier collapses or an airline ceases operations, your payments remain protected. Your holiday costs are insured and you’re covered throughout your journey.


Our personal service means we’re just a call or message away. We manage any changes, cancellations or unforeseen issues on your behalf. With us, luxury wellness travel comes with full protection and tailored support at every step.


How Awake & Wander Enhances Your Wellness Holiday


When you plan a wellness holiday, the booking process can feel overwhelming. With Awake & Wander, it becomes simple. We start with a conversation—learning about your health goals, preferred climate, favourite activities, and comfort preferences. From there, we hand-pick retreats that match your exact brief.


You’ll have one point of contact from enquiry to return. That means no repeating your preferences to multiple people, no generic packages, and no hidden costs.


We also look beyond the spa. Many of our clients want cultural elements, light adventure, or special dining experiences woven into their trip. If you’re going to Japan for onsen therapy, we can add a guided temple walk. If you’re heading to Bali, perhaps a private rice-terrace picnic fits your pace.


This attention to detail ensures that your holiday flows naturally. And because we have direct relationships with retreat managers, spa directors, and local guides, we can often arrange access to special classes, rooms, or menus not advertised publicly.


A wellness holiday is personal—it should reflect your lifestyle and goals. Awake & Wander ensures it does.

Seasonal Tips for Luxury Wellness Retreats in Asia


When to Visit for the Best Experience


The time of year you travel can shape your retreat experience. In Thailand, November to February offers cooler, drier conditions—perfect for outdoor yoga and beach walks. India’s Himalayan retreats shine between March and June or post-monsoon in September. In Japan, spring cherry blossom season adds beauty to onsen views, while autumn brings crisp air and colourful foliage.


Bali and Sumba have a dry season from April to October, which is ideal for combining spa time with outdoor adventures. The Maldives is generally warm year-round, but December to April brings the clearest waters and calmest seas.


How Seasonal Events Can Enhance Wellness


Some retreats integrate seasonal events into their programmes. In Japan, you might experience moon-viewing meditation. In Bali, a retreat could include temple ceremonies during Galungan. In India, retreats sometimes coincide with Ayurvedic seasonal cleanses.


Choosing the right season adds depth to your wellness journey. It’s more than weather—it’s about the atmosphere, traditions, and natural rhythms that help you unwind.


Booking With Awake & Wander Luxury Travel


We guide you every step. Our personal approach ensures your holiday matches your wish list. Flights, spa timings, special diets, excursions—everything is arranged.


Book with confidence thanks to full insurance cover. If something changes, we manage it. You arrive, unwind, and we take care of the details.
