Women Reveal Their Favorite Vacations

By Suzanne Hayes
I asked around: What was the best vacation you ever took and why? Here are a few of my fave responses.
South Carolina
“I wasn’t eating very healthy, and my body was dragging. Raising two babies and running a business were taking a toll on me. I knew I needed a break. I booked myself a getaway at Hilton Head Health, a wellness resort where all day long you exercise, meditate, spa, kayak, walk on the beach and eat healthy.”
—Taryn, 39
Costa Rica
“Nine months after breast cancer surgery, I took my first international trip to Las Catalinas, Costa Rica. It was the first time I felt that my physical and emotional state were in synergy. I was able to downshift into the stress-free lifestyle of this pedestrian-friendly town, surrounded by nature in all its beauty.”
—Katherine, 54
Dominican Republic
“In 2015, I was going through a divorce and decided to splurge on a vacation to the Dominican Republic. I am an aerialist and booked a seven-day circus retreat. It turned out to be the most memorable trip I’ve been on. I connected with so many amazing women, challenged my body, ate incredible food, tried new aspects of circus, learned how to salsa and danced in a twerk-off. It was truly the ‘fill up my cup’ trip that I needed.”
—Kristjana, 32
