When it comes to activities, “luxury travelers often have an affinity toward wellness-related experiences,” Blotter told Insider. 

Blotter added that there are plenty of spas with sustainable practices in place. 

“Whether indulging in a luxe treatment, taking a yoga or meditation class, or learning how to live a healthier lifestyle through a guided cooking experience, luxury travelers can ensure their experience is sustainable,” Blotter said.

Before selecting a spa, Blotter recommends checking the ingredients used in its treatments.

“For optimal sustainability, the ingredients and goods used in treatments or wellness workshops are locally sourced, organic, cruelty-free, fair-trade, and plant-based,” she said.

She also recommends finding a place that conserves energy and has water-refill stations, filtered air, and recycling programs in place. 

“Spas that have a focus on nature are also a bonus in helping to connect travelers more deeply with the healing found in nature,” she added.

Blotter recommends Osmosis Day Spa in Sonoma County. The spa’s website says it’s dedicated to recycling and composting, uses eco-conscious products for treatments, and conserves water by recycling gray water.
