Agoda Offers Asia's Top 10 Resorts for Wellness Holidays

It’s time to refresh, re-energize and re-evaluate your lifestyle by getting away from tension filled days and spending the holidays rejuvenating both the mind and body. As traditional Asian treatments become the preferred choice for tourists, Agoda.com, an Asian online hotel reservations service, offers a myriad of enjoyable ways to spend wellness vacations with 10 world renowned holistic health resorts in Asia.

When people start the journey back to healthy living it begins by being proactive and determined, discovering new ways to create a healthier and less stressful lifestyle. Wellness Travel is all about finding balance in one's life; achieving, and maintaining maximum health and a sense of well-being. Over the past decade, Asia has become an increasingly popular destination to fulfill these purposes, with plenty of health resorts that showcase traditional Asian healing arts, spa treatments, healthy eating as well as both physical and educational programs for healthy living habits.

Michael Kenny, CEO of Agoda.com commented, "Tourists are learning more about the benefits of traditional Asian treatments and their worldwide reputation. Thailand is famous for its traditional massage that incorporates meditation treatments, while India is well known as the Yoga and Ayurveda birthplace. China is unique for its acupuncture and traditional body exercises, such as Tai chi and Jigong, and Japan has the Onsen hot springs with mineral properties that provide natural restorative qualities. Tourists are now able to determine the most suitable path for their return to healthy living."

Agoda.com, an expert in Asian hotels, has surveyed the top 10 health resorts that provide holistic treatments.
