Besides memes and selfies, Instagram has travel photos in excess. It can be hard to pinpoint the best to keep track of, without over-following (one can only look at so many sunsets and ski lifts without all of it blurring together.) From a barefoot boutique Bahamian property to a monolithic diamond in the Utah desert, we’ve selected our favorite luxury hotels and retreats with a wellness-focus to follow in the order of highest engagement rate to least.
Rest and reset your mind and body at one of our favorite wellness retreats:
Grand Resort Bad Ragaz
📈 6.39% Engagement
This 18th-century palatial hotel overlooking the Tamina Gorge in Switzerland, is just 15 km from Pizol mountain. It is no wonder 6 of their top 10 posts this past year featured the geothermal pool… it alone is reason enough to visit.
Amangiri
📍Utah
📈 3.59% Engagement
This hotel is made for Instagram and ultimate escapism in tandem. With sleek concrete lines and an extensive spa—plus outdoor activity—menu, it’s both a must-see off-the-grid outpost and a place to recharge, together.
Tree Hotel
📈 3.35% Engagement
Escape into the Swedish woodlands at this remote, intriguing lodge.
Ocean View & the Other Side
📈 .91% Engagement
A hotel that feels like a home: Ocean View Club, in Harbour Island, The Bahamas, encourages bare feet at all times and a living-room vibe. Sip a Kalik beer from the “honor” bar, and settle in.
El Fenn
📈 2.78% Engagement
El Fenn is arguably the most artful hotel in Marrakech. Soak in the sumptuous designs and the rich, cozy color-palette of this ultra relaxing riad.
Cowley Manor
📈 1.99% Engagement
A 30-room spa hotel set in 55 acres of the ultra-lush Cotswolds region of the United Kingdom is… well, bloody heavenly.
Hotel Talisa
📍Vail
📈 1.87% Engagement
This recently redone hotel at the edge of Vail has direct-lift access to the mountain, excellent hiking when the days are warm, and a fantastic spa for a post-strain massages.
The St. Regis Maldives
📈 1.36% Engagement
In the Maldives, you really feel removed from the chaotic pace of the rest of the world. Here, you can do aerial yoga, play tennis, and, even, enjoy a spa that’s shaped like an abstract crustacean. But the healthiest thing to do is to swim around the hotel’s “house reef,” the corals at the edge of this tiny atoll.
The Upper House
📈 .76% Engagement
Hong Kong can be hot, humid, and crowded. Upper House is a minimal-chic, ultra-high end hotel to escape the fray (and it’s a favorite with celebrities and fashion industry types).
Grupo Habita
📈 .53% Engagement
Grupo Habita is a designed-focused hotel group out of Mexico City. They maintain one account between their properties. We recommend Escondido. Its got surf, sun, sand, and a fair amount of cleansing separation (it stands alone on a wild, wave-lashed beach).
