Improving Health and Wellness Holistically

Situated along South Florida’s Treasure Coast, Martin County is a quiet paradise of uncrowded beaches, which also happens to be home to many health and wellness-focused businesses. Each one exists to help you rejuvenate, recalibrate, and recharge your batteries (especially after a busy holiday season).

Get your blood pumping and your heart rate up by experiencing one of our many aquatic adventures! We’ve got something for everyone, including world-class fishing, stand-up paddle boarding, water-skiing, sailing, surfing, water-biking, hydrofoiling, diving, and more. Or opt for a land-based adventure, like hitting the cycling trails, joining a guided nature walk, booking a Segway tour, or taking off on a horseback riding excursion. Another great way to focus on your holistic health is by checking out our farm-to-table restaurants, where you can find fresh and nutritious options made with locally sourced ingredients.

Focusing on Self-Care

It’s easy to get bogged down with stress in our day-to-day lives, which is why it’s so important to take time to pause, relax, and unwind. And planning a vacation is a great way to do just that! There are so many different ways to practice self-care, so do whatever feels the most nourishing for you. Maybe it means curling up with a good book, watching the sunset from the shore, or practicing meditation to help you find your center. However you choose to do it, Martin County can help.

A fun and unique way to quiet the mind and indulge in self-care is by taking part in a Sound Healing Sunday. Led by Deena Rahill at the Elliott Museum, these meditative sessions bathe participants in sound vibration using singing crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and a variety of drums. Another great option is pampering yourself with a spa treatment, joining a class at one of our local yoga studios, or even setting off a sunset yoga and meditation paddle with one of our stand-up paddle board operators!

So there you have it! Do you plan on putting any of these practices into effect in 2022? Let us know what your New Year’s Resolutions look like for the year ahead in the comments.
