The wellness tourism market was valued at $814 billion last year and, by some estimates, is expected to rocket past $2 trillion by 2033. To capitalize on this growing trend, VistaJet recently unveiled the Wellness 360 program on its private jets, which covers pre-flight, in-flight and post-flight travel. Before boarding, passengers can consult with a nutritionist, ensuring that their in-flight meals are customized to their specific needs, which can help minimize the impacts of jet lag and optimize overall vitality. And the program doesn’t stop once the plane lands—passengers can also embark on a 21-day spiritual expedition through Nepal and Bhutan with prayer sessions, a helicopter ride to Mount Everest’s base camp, hiking, and traditional rituals for overall health.

One sleepy morning this summer in Edinburgh’s Leith neighborhood, a pub-stuffed, cobblestoned port district, a persnickety tailor tugged at the lapels of my formal Prince Charlie jacket and centered my furry sporran purse. Then, with assertive force, he hiked up my kilt so it rested comfortably above my navel, warming my belly like a Scotch ale. I embraced my awkward role as an inert mannequin, a clueless one at that, slowly transforming into a great Scot.

It all adds to the allure of this citronella-scented adventure playground, which curiously, despite the glitz, manages not to feel vulgar or ostentatious.
