After a long winter, you may be ready to explore some new destinations. Maybe you even are thinking about taking some time for yourself by attending a wellness retreat in a country that you’ve always wanted to visit?
However, some destinations are better than others to visit depending on the time of the year. If you're wanting to travel during the springtime, you need to keep in mind what the spring season is like in your destination options. You want to pick a retreat destination that is within the right season that will make your experience as amazing as possible.
In the following article, we have rounded up our top destination picks for wellness retreats during the spring months. It was definitely hard to narrow down our choices as there are multiple countries that would be amazing to visit. However, our picks are absolutely breathtaking in the springtime and a must to visit.
1- Morocco
Morocco is one of those destinations that has everything you would want on a wellness retreat. The lavish diverse landscapes will take your breath- away as you immerse yourself in the rich culture. There is no doubt in our minds that Morocco makes the list of being must-see bucketlist destination. Especially, in the springtime.
Morocco follows the same seasonal patterns as any other northern hemisphere country. Therefore, once spring arrives, this African nation becomes even more enchanting thanks to the pleasant temperatures and bright green, blooming landscapes. Temperatures and precipitation levels vary greatly depending on region and altitude. However, you’ll find wonderful temperatures all across the country this time of the year.
In addition, although Morocco has a wet climate, in the springtime it is unlikely you’ll see too many rainy days! Therefore, if you visit during the months of April-June there is less of a chance that your plans will get cancelled due to rain!

2- South Africa
Another African country that makes our list is South Africa. Thanks to its varied geography and diverse ecosystems, the country is known as being a top destination to visit year-round. However, we think that it is one of the best destinations in the world to visit from March-April. As South Africa is on the south side of the equator, this time of the year is actually autumn. April and May make up the bulk of the autumn season, with dryer days, changing leaves, and less chance of unexpected rainfall.
During this time of year in South Africa, visitors can beat the scorching heat that the summer brings and the cool, rainy, winter days. From March to June, the weather is still dry enough to allow you to truly enjoy afternoon activities outside. Such as hikes up to Table Mountain! In addition, if you are wanting to visit winelands, you will not be disappointed with the views during autumn. The changing leaves and comfortable air is romantic and unforgettable.

The greenery and flora during this time of year around the mainland and on the island are truly breathtaking. The landscape of Greece is truly unmatched during any other season.

Italy is without a doubt magical no matter the time of year. However, during the summer months, the crowds are packed, and the weather is close to unbearable on most days. In addition, the winter months offer much cooler days, less vibrant days. This is why we have placed Italy on this list as springtime is the most enjoyable time of year.
As the remnants of winter melt away, the colors of spring add to the beauty of the Italian streets. The draw to Italy is within the history, culture, cuisine and vast landscapes. Exploring these facets will be much more enjoyable in the warm weather that the spring brings.
