Where to Find Your Zen in Hawaii

This refreshed Hawaiian property moves the focus to health.

After a four-year hiatus, the Lodge at Koele in the tropical highlands of Lanai has returned as the Four Seasons Hotel Lanai at Koele, a Sensei Retreat. “Sensei guides” trained in nutrition, fitness, and spa therapies design custom itineraries for guests of the Four Seasons’ first all-inclusive wellness enclave. Three-night minimum stays emphasize movement, nourishment, and rest – key pillars supported by as many as 16 exercise classes a day, 30 spa treatments, a menu created by acclaimed Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa, and 96 tranquil rooms. Guided hikes, beach excursions, and cultural lectures supplement on-property activities in two movement studios, onsen soaking tubs, and ten private hale, or spa cottages.

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Paris, France. One of the most beautiful churches in the world is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Built in 1914 the Basilica is situated on top of the Montmartre hill and is a signature landmark of this iconic district. The Basilica is naturally white all the time despite the weather and pollution because of travertine stone, which has this exceptional quality to preserve its color. It is open all year round and is visited by thousands of tourists every day. Why to go there? Gorgeous church, one of the most famous sites in Paris. When to go there? The Basilica is open from 06 to 22:30. How to get there? Easy access by metro or bus, that stops right at the bottom of the hill.
