Picture this: A tropical getaway to a warm sandy beach, a cold-weather escape to a mountain sanctuary, an adventure-filled excursion to a cultural oasis. What do all three scenes have in common? The feeling of total relaxation that comes from switching your mind into vacay mode.
Well, we’ve got good news for you—you don’t have to jet off to a remote island to get all the feel-good perks of traveling, because we teamed up with the Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® Cards to bring the best of wellness travel straight to your home.
On our first-ever Wellness Daycation (think of it as the ultimate staycation that actually feels like a real vacation) you’ll be mentally transported on a healthy getaway, thanks to live virtual workshops inspired by wellness experiences at three Marriott Bonvoy properties across the country—and you won’t even have to worry about packing a bag. Ready to start relaxing?
