In Partnership with TourHero
There comes a moment—often after burnout, heartache, or a strange feeling that you’ve outgrown your own life—when your soul quietly insists: it’s time to begin again.
Whether you’re in transition or simply seeking deeper alignment, the best way to reset is to remove yourself completely and travel somewhere that invites you to exhale, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath it all.
The five destinations below are more than beautiful. They’re energetic portals. Places where the stillness of nature, the power of tradition, and the magic of presence can shift you back into balance. And here’s something quietly radical: with social travel platforms like TourHero, you can design your own escape to these places and take like-minded souls aligned with your vision with you.
Read on to find out how these five powerful places can be life-changing, and learn how TourHero can help you organize a fully customized experience for your entire group.
1. Spiritual Japan—Stillness, Simplicity & Sacred Ritual
Best for: quiet reflection, seasonal transition, reverence
Japan doesn’t force transformation. It invites it gently. From misty cedar forests and Shinto shrines in Kyoto to the sacred stillness of Mount Kōya, this is a country that understands the healing power of ritual, nature, and simplicity.
Wake before sunrise to meditate at a temple inn. Soak in a steaming onsen surrounded by the volcanic beauty of Hakone, where clouds drift over Lake Ashi and torii gates rise from the water like quiet sentinels. Witness cherry blossoms drifting like snow in the spring—or fiery leaves in autumn—and remember that change can be beautiful, even when it asks you to let go.
The Japanese concept of ma (間)—the sacred pause—lives in the architecture, the food, and the way time feels here. It’s in that space between that we often find ourselves again.
TourHero makes it simple to plan intimate group trips through Japan’s spiritual heartlands. With vetted guides, serene accommodations, and flexible planning, you can bring a small group along for a beautifully intentional experience, without drowning in logistics. Plan a journey today.
2. Sacred Valley of Peru—For Those Ready to Shed the Past
Best for: energetic release, ancestral connection, elevation of consciousness
High in the Andes, the Sacred Valley holds a different kind of gravity. The air is thin, the mountains immense, and the energy unmistakably ancient. Once the spiritual heart of the Incan Empire, this region is still alive with ceremony, tradition, and transformation—perfect for a life reset journey.
Explore the ancient cuisine of the Andean highlands, where earthy potatoes and ceremonial corn still anchor meals to the land. Sit in silence among the hillside ruins of Pisac, wander the Maras salt mines where thousands of shallow pools shimmer with mineral-rich history, or follow a trusted guide on a mindful trek through the clouds.
This is a place where people come to release—grief, expectation, ego—and return with clarity and reverence.
Whether you’re looking to co-create a spiritual itinerary or simply host a healing excursion in the mountains, TourHero supports your full vision. Design a journey that suits your wellness needs.
3. Wild South Africa—Sacred Encounters with Mother Nature
Best for: awe-inspiring moments, connecting with the earth, soul-deep presence
Outside of Cape Town lies a wild stillness. Think: mountain-backed lodges, starry skies without interruption, long dusty roads winding through fynbos and sandstone, and the hush of elephants passing through the savanna. South Africa isn’t just a place to see—it’s a place that offers many experiences for the nature-loving soul craving a life reset.
Spend a few days in a game reserve with no agenda but presence. Go on a mindful safari, journal under acacia trees, or simply exhale into the quiet. Wander the peaceful vineyards of Franschhoek, take a silent sunrise hike along the cliffs of Cape Peninsula, or capture the playfulness of the wild penguins at Boulders Beach.
Whether it’s the solitude of the wild or the soulfulness of still water, South Africa holds something for nature lovers.
TourHero can help you craft a private journey into the wild—whether that’s a women’s circle in a mountain hideaway, a photography retreat with wildlife encounters, or a slow-living, life reset immersion outside the city.
4. Sands of Morocco—A Desert Oasis for Soul Rebirth
Best for: reinvention, spaciousness, elemental healing
There’s a special clarity that arrives when the desert stretches in every direction. Morocco’s dunes, kasbahs, and starlit skies create a landscape that feels both ancient and deeply symbolic. Here, among the golden silence of the Sahara, many find space to release the past and envision the next version of themselves.
Enjoy slow days in a Berber-style oasis retreat, sip mint tea beneath the stars, ride camels at sunrise, and soak in the elemental wisdom of sand, stone, and wind. The contrast between the desert and the lively souks of Marrakech brings perspective and deep grounding.
Plan a dual-destination journey to Morocco with TourHero, splitting time between the vibrant cultural scene of Marrakech and the meditative stillness of the vast desert.
5. Lush Costa Rica—Jungle Healing and Ocean Awakening
Best for: nervous system healing, reconnection with joy, nature-led realignment
Costa Rica holds a raw, life-affirming kind of magic. With tropical rainforests, howler monkeys, crashing waves, and warm community energy, it’s a place that reminds you how good it feels to be alive.
Hike into the cloud forests of Monteverde, where mist curls through ancient trees and every leaf feels like it’s listening. Paddle through the mangrove tunnels of the Osa Peninsula, where sloths watch from above and time seems to slow.
Soak in the mineral-rich hot springs near Arenal Volcano as stars begin to crowd the sky, or learn to surf the steady, rolling breaks of Santa Teresa with salt in your hair. The rhythm of nature here is unapologetic, playful, and free.
Whether you’re creating a yoga-surf escape, a creative journaling retreat for friends, or a nature immersion adventure in Costa Rica, you can do it all with TourHero.
