The new Islands Collection by National Geographic ºìÐÓÊÓÆµler (UK) is out now, exploring the world’s islands as places of renewal — where nature, culture and wellbeing intersect.
As travellers increasingly prioritise rest and recovery, wellness tourism continues to surge. According to the Global Wellness Institute, the sector is among the fastest-growing areas of travel, driven by demand for experiences that support both physical and mental health. Islands are uniquely placed to meet this shift: their natural boundaries encourage slower travel, while elemental landscapes — mineral-rich waters, salt-laced air, ancient forests and open horizons — offer powerful antidotes to burnout and overstimulation.
Against this backdrop, the lead feature explores 11 healing escapes across Europe, where wellness is shaped by landscape rather than luxury. “From volcanic hot springs on Ischia and geothermal bathing in Iceland to forest saunas in Scandinavia and the slow-living traditions of Greece’s Ikaria, these islands show how centuries-old practices continue to inform modern approaches to wellbeing,� said editor Sacha Scoging.
