There are so many reasons why we travel — a significant one among them, especially in the New Year period, is the opportunity to relax and decompress from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, including the holidays. If health and wellness are your priorities in 2024, consider a stay at one of these three timeshare resorts, which all offer generous accommodations with a hefty side of Zen.
With five distinct properties to choose from, you’ll have no problem finding the right fit at this sprawling resort on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and Playa del Carmen. Whether you’re looking for family-friendly fun, an adults-only respite or the perfect spot for a girl’s getaway, you’ll have access to the resort’s two spas. For a European take on relaxation, visit the French-inspired Brio Spa, which offers an indoor-outdoor experience of Jacuzzis, cold plunge pools, and a full menu of spa treatments, including aromatherapy. Go all in with a Pilates or yoga class at the adjacent Brio Fitness Center.
If you’re after a more global experience, visit the Spatium Spa, located beneath the dense canopy of Riviera Maya’s jungle in a standalone building with a serene courtyard garden. Harness the power of medicinal herbs to bring about healing with a Journey Through Ancient Mexico, treat the mind, body, and soul with the Discovering India treatment, or explore techniques and ingredients from Japan, Thailand, Italy, Indonesia, and South Pacific by booking an Around the World treatment. If you’ve got energy to spare, a yoga, Pilates, Zumba, or spin class at the Spatium Fitness Center may be just what you need to melt all stress away completely.

Arroyo Roble Resort, Sedona, Arizona
Sedona’s famous Red Rock hiking trails are only a stone’s throw away with a stay at this vacation community nestled amongst 600 feet of private frontage on Oak Creek. You’ll need between 3-5 hours to tackle the moderately difficult six-mile Brins Mesa – Soldier Pass Trail, a loop that defies all expectations with can’t-miss stops like Soldier Pass Cave, Seven Sacred Pools and Devil’s Kitchen, a sinkhole whose formation predates the arrival of Western civilization. For a less strenuous hike — one can that be enjoyed by family members of all ages — the in-town hike to Coffeepot Rock (a towering red rock that resembles a percolator with its spout) is an easy, mostly flat 2.4-mile walk offering views of Airport Mesa, Cathedral Rock, and Soldier Pass.
In addition to the allure of the Red Rock trails, guests at the resort can take part in various recreational activities, from tennis and racquetball to pickleball. Following an active day, the 13,000-square-foot clubhouse invites visitors for a well-deserved respite in the steam and sauna rooms, rounding out a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation in the heart of Sedona’s captivating landscape.

Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club, Oahu, Hawaii
Those looking for an alternative to the bustle of Honolulu and Waikiki will find the perfect mix of sand, surf and serenity at this property, located within the gated Ko Olina community and bordering Oahu’s quieter yet breathtaking Leeward Coast. Though tranquility is all around, you’d be remiss not to seek your moment of peace during an early morning stroll through the area’s four jewel-like lagoons, which are connected by more than a mile-and-half of seaside pathways. Afterward, head to the resort’s Spa by the Sea for a traditional Hawaiian massage, which utilizes the palms, forearms and elbows in a flowing rhythmic motion to untangle all your knots and the spa’s signature anti-aging facial, described as a non-surgical facelift. If getting out on the water is more your speed, rent a board and head to Makaha Beach, about 13 miles north of the resort, where big wave surfing was pioneered (in wintertime, the waves here can reach up to 25 feet!).
