We’re well into 2025, and as a society, we seem more mindful than ever. Extra thought is going into every facet of our lives, from mindful eating habits to supporting brands we not only appreciate, but genuinely believe in. Wellness is all over the travel industry, too, just as animal therapy and digital detox retreats, among many, many others.

The latest and greatest in the nomadic heap might just be blue mind travel. It may be trending, but it pulls from an age-old fact: Being in the company of water can calm the body and reduce stress. That’s why when so many of us think of vacation, we think of a lapping beach, a gurgling stream, or a peaceful float on a river.

By all means, continue with that ambient, water-based noise app when winding down and soothing baths by day. But for a real immersive blue mind travel experience worthy of a vacation, consider a few of the following destinations. These spots have hotels specializing in blue mind theory, meaning you can just play passenger and enjoy the fluid ride.
