The Wellness Travel Show
Think about it for a minute. Isn't time away for romance, reconnecting with friends, or a holiday with the entire family - all generations, about our overall wellness? And yes, a wellness retreat, learning or resetting life skills to be the best version of ourselves, is also fabulous for growth, yet it's also great to have takeaways for back at home.
Enjoy the shows; we're all about sharing tips and tricks to be the best you at home and on the road. We also feature wellness getaways from mountain-top retreats to oceanfront luxury resorts. And some pretty cool urban hotels close to art galleries, music venues and gardens because wellness is much more than a good yoga pose! Although we think it's fabulous that we can find a class almost anywhere now.
We love hearing from our listeners, so drop us a line at https://wellnesstravelbc.com/ and be sure to sign up for our VIP newsletter. Subscribers receive monthly news about our show, contests and Great Wellness Getaway rates on products and travel.

Leading with Wellness at Oak Bay Beach Hotel
What a pleasure to have this conversation about wellness and hospitality with Madone Pelan, General Manager of the exquisite Oak Bay Beach Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia. During our time together, Madone shares the history of this waterfront gem, highlighting its Indigenous cultural roots with Coast Salish Songhees, to its modest beginning in 1927 as a small seaside Inn. The hotel's most recent incarnation saw a complete renovation from top to bottom, re-opening in 2012 to much fanfare and excitement as the emphasis was placed on what was then an emerging trend - wellness travel. Today, under the leadership of Madone along with her fine team of talented hotel executives, Oak Bay Beach Hotel delivers exceptional, award-winning programs and guest services. Of particular note is the hotel's distinguished waterfront spa and healing mineral pools with adjacent beaches perfect for year-round cold water plunging in the Salish Sea!
