Whether you need to slow down, restore your inner peace or just work out kinks from your travels, San Diego makes healthy living fun and accessible. The city consistently ranks as one of America’s healthiest, offering great year ‘round weather for outdoor activities, plenty of healthy eating options and some of the world’s most luxurious spas.
Treat Yo’ Self
What’s your go-to luxury spa treatment? Being slathered in honey and exotic muds, wrapped in aloe and algae? How about having your feet dipped in rose-petal baths or experiencing a hydrating oxygen facial. San Diego’s luxury day spas are the paragon in pampering. Book a treatment at The Catamaran Spa on Mission Bay, the Spa at the Hotel del Coronado or La Vie Day Spa in La Jolla.
Find your Zen
The Zen Center of San Diego is the perfect place for settling your mind and body on your walk to spiritual awakening. The Center offers daily meditation sittings, as well as a free Saturday morning introductory class. The Dharma Center in Ocean Beach offers classes and spiritual retreats for those new to meditation. A beautiful spot meditate is the meditation gardens at the Self-Realization Fellowship in the Banker’s Hill area, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Stretch Out
Combine a workout with transcendent thought and what do you have? Yoga, of course. Being deeply entrenched in a healthy lifestyle means San Diego is bursting with yoga studios, outdoor classes in gorgeous settings and unique ways to practice like SUP yoga. Laughter Yoga, for example, takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays in Balboa Park. There’s Yoga on the Beach at Hotel del Coronado, SUP Yoga at the Mission Bay Aquatic Center and Zen Yoga at the Japanese Friendship Garden. Or find your flow at a studio, like Riffs in La Jolla, Bird Rock Yoga in Pacific Beach or Indie Yoga in Ocean Beach.
Eat Healthy
Honestly, the vegan, vegetarian and plant-based options in San Diego are truly astounding. Cafe Gratitude on Kettner Boulevard in the Little Italy neighborhood, for example, offers an array of plant-based dishes for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Choose from an array of bowls, sandwiches, salads and more.
From Bootstrapkombucha to Soulshine Vegan Cafe in Mission Beach to the Green Door Cafe in La Jolla to Run Jungle Cafe in Pacific Beach, you don’t have to look far for healthy choices when re-fueling.
Sleep Well Catching quality zzz’s is much easier when you’re sleeping in clean, comfortable accommodations. Listen to the waves crashing outside your bedroom in an oceanfront home. Or, find your peace in a quiet neighborhood in the hills with a panoramic view of the ocean, bay and city. Trust your booking to Bluewater Vacation Homes for a first-class, serene experience.
