Before the vows, the pheras, or that big, dramatic walk down the aisle—take a beat. Weddings are magical, yes, but they’re also high-key exhausting. Enter: Wellness retreats designed for soon-to-be brides and grooms looking to swap last-minute chaos for chakra realignment and glow-up rituals. And no, we’re not talking about basic spa sessions or cucumber on your eyes. These are serotonin-boosting, soul-reviving escapes made to prep you—mind, body and energy—for the biggest day of your life.
From dosha-driven treatments to sound baths and hammams, we rounded up signature pre-wedding retreats that do way more than just relax you. Think cellular rejuvenation, emotional detoxes, and Ayurvedic syncing. Whether you’re the bride, the groom, or just someone trying to stay zen while wrangling 400 guests—these wellness experiences might be your new favourite plus-one.
