Escape to an Orlando wellness retreat featuring spa services, sound baths, guest speakers, and outdoor activities at a premier luxury resort.
This August, Orlando locals and visitors alike are invited to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with themselves at a three-day wellness retreat at Grande Lakes Orlando, a 500-acre luxury resort nestled at the headwaters of the Florida Everglades.
Anchored by The Ritz-Carlton Orlando and JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes is bringing its tranquil setting and top-tier amenities to the forefront with a restorative wellness experience designed to heal the mind, body, and soul. Hosted by The Ritz-Carlton Spa, the Orlando Wellness Retreat blends world-class spa services, enriching programming, and immersive outdoor activities into an all-inclusive journey toward lasting well-being.
“Wellness is no longer just a buzzword, but must be integrated into everything we do—specifically how we travel,” said Tony Angel, director of spa at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando. “This curated and holistic retreat helps guests leave not only feeling refreshed, but equipped with tangible practices they can incorporate into daily life.”
Orlando Wellness Retreat: A Three-Day Journey to Wellness
The Orlando Wellness Retreat kicks off with a welcome lunch at Vitale, Spa Café, followed by indulgent spa treatments, Cryotherapy, and laid-back poolside lounging. As the sun sets, guests gather for an evening welcome dinner at Fairways, followed by a tranquil floating and sound bath meditation.
Day two ramps up the energy with options like sunrise kayaking, fishing, or a 5K run/walk. Attendees can choose from an array of fitness sessions—pickleball, bootcamp, or yoga—while enjoying curated meals and engaging guest speaker panels. The final day focuses on reflection, with a slower pace, restorative spa time, and a farewell meditation to close out the experience.
Notable Guests and Thought Leaders
Among the retreat’s featured speakers are former NBA player Charles “Bo” Outlaw and Amanda Thebe, renowned wellness expert and author of Menopocalypse. Their insights promise to spark meaningful conversations around longevity, balance, and thriving through life’s transitions.
