Apply for a listing >>
Travel-quest's relaxation holidays section is intended for listing holidays, vacations and breaks where the focus is on simply relaxing,
where this does not fit into any of our other health and relaxation categories. This is not for listing standard beach holidays and similar breaks, but for listing holidays and breaks designed to specifically offer relaxation. It can also include holiday courses that teach relaxation techniques. To be listed in this section relaxation must form a significant part of the holiday. If you offer a relaxing activity that has a dedicated section available (e.g. yoga, Tai Chi) this should be listed in the dedicate section.
