» No one would fault you for indulging over the holidays, especially after the trying times of 2020. But a new year has begun and we are sure that you are now ready to sweat off those extra pounds. However, the same old fitness classes, gym routine, jogging route and YouTube HIIT workouts can sometimes not be enough to motivate one to get started, especially now that gyms are temporarily closed. Guru has a few novel and exciting ways to begin this year's fitness journey, a few online and a few to look forward to, as soon as the restrictions are lifted.

» Built around a cave temple that once served as a meditative retreat for Buddhist monks, Kamalaya Koh Samui manages to top many other wellness retreats that I have been to. This is largely because its focus isn't only to provide you with a peaceful sanctuary that is an escape from the rest of the world but also to help you find a deeper understanding of yourself. The thoughtfully prepared food, great service and the company of the people there make Kamalaya overshadows a regular beach holiday to no end.
