In celebration of Women’s History Month, resorts are offering special experiences designed for female travelers seeking relaxation, empowerment and adventure. From tranquil wellness retreats in the Himalayas to eco-friendly getaways in Costa Rica, these properties are catering to women who need a bit of fun and connection.
Ananda in The Himalayas: A Women’s Sanctuary
For 25 years, Ananda in The Himalayas has been a global leader in holistic wellness, earning accolades as the world’s leading wellness retreat and destination spa. This Women’s History Month, it continues to honor and uplift women through tailored experiences that harmonize body, mind and spirit.
Located in the Himalayan foothills, Ananda is a spiritual haven—particularly for solo female travelers seeking rejuvenation and self-discovery. Housed within a historic palace on a 100-acre estate, Ananda has long been a sanctuary where women can disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with themselves in a safe, nurturing environment.
As part of its commitment to women’s wellness, Ananda offers specialized programs addressing key life stages—from menstrual health and fertility to menopause and emotional well-being. These initiatives create a unique wellness regiment for women through a blend of Ayurveda, yoga and meditation.
Solo female travelers are a common sight at Ananda, drawn by its deep-rooted connection to shakti, the embodiment of feminine energy. One of the palace’s revered prayer rooms was once home to Ma Anandamayi, an Indian saint and yoga guru described by Swami Sivananda Saraswati as “the most perfect flower the Indian soil has produced.” Overlooking the retreat, her temple serves as a spiritual beacon, reinforcing Ananda’s mission of holistic healing and empowerment.
