Besides memes and selfies, Instagram has travel photos in excess. It can be hard to pinpoint the best to keep track of, without over-following (one can only look at so many sunsets and ski lifts without all of it blurring together.) From a barefoot boutique Bahamian property to a monolithic diamond in the Utah desert, we’ve selected our favorite luxury hotels and retreats with a wellness-focus to follow in the order of highest engagement rate to least.

In the Maldives, you really feel removed from the chaotic pace of the rest of the world. Here, you can do aerial yoga, play tennis, and, even, enjoy a spa that’s shaped like an abstract crustacean. But the healthiest thing to do is to swim around the hotel’s “house reef,” the corals at the edge of this tiny atoll.

Hong Kong can be hot, humid, and crowded. Upper House is a minimal-chic, ultra-high end hotel to escape the fray (and it’s a favorite with celebrities and fashion industry types).

Grupo Habita is a designed-focused hotel group out of Mexico City. They maintain one account between their properties. We recommend Escondido. Its got surf, sun, sand, and a fair amount of cleansing separation (it stands alone on a wild, wave-lashed beach).
