Somewhere in between a simple spa retreat and a purely educational vacation lies a wonderful combination of the two. Many spas offer a variety of classes and programs catered toward those who want to get more than a massage out of their spa visit (but want the massage, too). “We have our core programming, which includes yoga, meditation, fitness, outdoor activities, and spa services, and then we look at how we can round that out,” explains Erica Bennett of Miraval Resort. At Miraval, special programs for personal enrichment cover a broad range of topics, such as healthy cooking, painting, and coping with life transitions. Miraval’s Creative and Mindful Cooking workshop gives guests the chance to make dishes from the spa’s signature healthy cuisine, practice menu planning, and make healthy substitutions in the kitchen.

If you’re looking for a personal enrichment program, it pays to do research into a few different places. Find programs that suit your interests, like a cooking class if you already love to spend time in the kitchen, or that give you the opportunity to try something new or different, like painting or ballroom dancing.
