As the self-care travel trend continues to gain momentum, the babymoon is becoming a must-do for mums-to-be – making it the ideal gift for thoughtful friends and family keen to give a much-needed gift this Mother’s Day.
With wellness tourism expected to be worth $1.3 trillion globally in 2025[i], year-on-year spending higher across the wellness category and 69% of Australians determined to be healthier by the end of the year[ii], the appeal of everything from traditional massage and facial treatments to iridology, mantra meditation, hypnotherapy, sound healing and more is rising.
Set in the heart of the Hunter Valley’s Elysia Wellness Retreat is perfectly placed to deliver rest, relaxation, and precious pampering opportunities for expectant mums to unwind and prepare for the busy time ahead – when time to treat yourself becomes increasingly scarce.
“Pregnancy can be a time of excitement, anxiety and exhaustion – sometimes all at once – and it’s important for expectant mothers to make time for their physical and social wellbeing, whether that’s enjoying a walk in the great outdoors, a pregnancy massage, or a one-on-one wellness coaching session,” said Elysia Wellness Retreat’s Retreat Manager, Melissa Ingram.
“Mother’s Day is the ideal time to treat the mums-to-be in your life with the gift of wellbeing to show you understand what she really needs and remind her to slow down, spoil herself and take the time she needs to prepare for the demanding but rewarding time ahead.”
Elysia Wellness Retreat can be enjoyed as a solo sojourn – another growing travel trend – or as an indulgent final fling with a partner, sister, bestie or as a bonding Mother-daughter experience.
