Wellness Holidays Reimagined: The Pioneering Approach of Body Holiday & Stolen Time
Think a wellness holiday is just spa days and smoothies? Think again. In this episode, Hayley Sparkes chats with Andrew Barnard, CEO of Body Holiday and Stolen Time in Saint Lucia—two soulful resorts built around one goal: to help guests reset, recharge and feel like themselves again.
With over 70% of guests returning, these resorts prove that when you get wellness right, it sticks. From stress and burnout to grief and big life changes, Andrew explains how Body Holiday and Stolen Time offer something deeper than five-star service—it’s wellness travel with extra TLC, designed to meet people where they are.
