Looking to relax and reset?
Set aside some time to do what makes your soul happy. Sometimes you can get so caught up in daily life that you actually put what you enjoy on the back burner. Life is about balance. Many of us work so much that we forget how great it feels to make time in your life for things that make you happy. Find time for some fun and play in your life and do more of what you love! If you are looking for a mental and physical reset, I encourage you to embrace the serenity that comes with island living, by soaking up our tropical beaches, breathing in the fresh ocean air, and taking on a more intentional pace of life for a few days.
Here are a few ways to nourish your mind, body, and soul on your vacation to Indian River.
Clear your mind
Trees, flowers, grass, wildlife, and sunshine all help you to automatically relax, de-stress and feel nourished right down to your soul. Getting some fresh air and Vitamin D is a great way to feel more refreshed. We have 26 miles of pristine beaches to choose from.
Sunrise on the Treasure Coast is a show worth waking up for. Whether you’re sipping coffee on your balcony, searching for shells, or finding your zen with a sunrise yoga class, the glow of the sun and crash of the waves invigorates the senses, leaving you ready to conquer the day.
Insider Tip: Costa d’Este offers sunrise yoga classes on the beach. Contact the resort for times and availability.
Relax Your Body
