Da Lat is also an ideal summer escape, offering immersive wellness therapies, local delights like coffee and artichoke tea, and the opportunity to explore the charming town by bicycle.
According to Booking, the trend of healing retreats (“Reboot Retreats”) will dominate not only in 2024 but also in the coming years. This trend acts as a mental tonic, helping travelers de-stress, balance their lives, and recharge by encouraging them to disconnect from their busy and stressful daily routines.
