Before wellness travel had a name, Healthy Travel had a magazine.
When Alison Lewis launched Healthy Travel in print in 2012, the idea that travelers might choose a destination for how it would make them feel—not simply what they would see—was still novel. Today, wellness travel is one of the fastest-growing sectors of luxury travel. We've always known why.
Healthy Travel is a curated guide to the world's most exceptional luxury hotels, resorts, destinations, and wellness experiences—where true luxury isn't just where you go, but how you feel while you're there.
Founded by Alison Lewis—a former magazine publisher and editor, journalist, travel writer, and author whose work has appeared in Travel + Leisure, Southern Living, and more—Healthy Travel exists on a simple premise: the best journeys don't just take you somewhere. They bring you back to yourself.
Here, you'll find destinations that do both. The mountain retreat where thoughtful architecture becomes part of the experience. The coastal resort where the cuisine is as thoughtfully crafted as the wellness offerings. The immersive journey that stays with you long after you've returned home.
Every story is shaped by the perspective of an editor, the experience of a seasoned travel journalist, and the belief that where you go—and how you experience it—can have an impact on how you feel long after you return home.
Welcome. Travel well.
Meet the Founder/Editor
Healthy Travel was founded by Alison Lewis, a former magazine editor, publisher, journalist, and founder of the original Healthy Travel magazine, launched in print in 2012—before wellness travel became a category of its own.
Her background in editorial and luxury hospitality informs a selective, design-aware approach to travel—one that values how a place makes you feel as much as how it looks.
Today, her work sits at the intersection of design, travel, and storytelling, bringing an editor's eye to exceptional hotels, resorts, destinations, and experiences that restore, inspire, and linger long after the journey ends.
