Hey Community,
We all remember the Tuesday nights spent watching Tyra Banks teach us how to “smize,” the dramatic makeovers that ended in tears, and the iconic “I was rooting for you!” breakdown. For years, America’s Next Top Model was the ultimate fashion bible. But in 2026, the runway is looking a lot darker.
The news just broke: Netflix is dropping a bombshell docuseries, and Tyra herself is finally addressing the elephant in the room.
Here is a 5-day “Wellness Circuit” travel itinerary for Goa, designed to align with the state’s 2026 shift toward holistic and traditional healing.
The 5-Day Goa Wellness & Rejuvenation Itinerary (2026)
This circuit takes you from the high-tech integrated medical centers in the North to the silent, soul-searching retreats of the South.
Day 1: The New Frontier (Dhargal & Mandrem)
Morning: Arrive at Manohar International Airport (Mopa) and head straight to the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA) in Dhargal. Book an initial consultation with an Ayurvedic physician to determine your Dosha (body type).
Afternoon: Check into a beachside retreat in Mandrem. Have a “Vedic lunch” (fresh, plant-based meals tailored to your body type).
Evening: Participate in a sunset “3-6-9-12™ Meditation” session on Mandrem Beach to ground your energy.
Day 2: Detox & Sound (Ashvem & Arambol)
Morning: Head to Ashvem for an authentic Abhyanga (four-hand warm oil massage) followed by Swedana (herbal steam).
Afternoon: Visit an organic café for a probiotic-rich Goan thali.
Evening: Move to Arambol for the famous sunset drum circle or a sound healing session using Tibetan singing bowls and frequency therapy.
Day 3: Heritage & Spiritual Health (Old Goa & Panaji)
Morning: Travel to Old Goa (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Visit the Basilica of Bom Jesus. In 2026, the focus here is on “Spiritual Tourism”—taking a moment for silent contemplation in the historic chapels.
Afternoon: A walking tour of the Fontainhas (Latin Quarter) in Panaji. Visit a local apothecary for traditional Goan herbal remedies and spices.
Evening: A quiet sunset cruise on the Mandovi River, focusing on the bird-watching estuaries rather than the party boats.
Day 4: Earth Connection (Ponda Spice Circuit)
Morning: Drive to a Spice Plantation in Ponda (e.g., Sahakari or Tropical). Experience “Shinrin-yoku” (Forest Bathing) among the cinnamon and black pepper trees.
Afternoon: Traditional lunch served on a banana leaf. Learn about the medicinal properties of Goan spices like Kokum and Turmeric.
Evening: Head south to Agonda. The vibe here is noticeably slower and quieter than the North.
Day 5: The Deep Reset (Palolem & Agonda)
Morning: Sunrise Hatha Yoga on Agonda Beach. This beach is a silent zone during turtle nesting seasons (Jan–Feb), making it perfect for deep focus.
Afternoon: Visit Palolem for a final Shirodhara treatment (warm oil poured on the forehead) to calm the nervous system before departure.
Evening: Farewell dinner at a cliffside eco-resort overlooking the Arabian Sea.
Essential Travel Tips for Goa 2026
Budgeting: Expect to pay around Rs. 10,000–15,000 ($35–$55) per night for a 3-star wellness resort. High-end retreats like the Taj Exotica or ITC Grand Goa range from Rs. 30,000+.
Transport: Rent an electric scooter. It’s the “wellness” way to travel—silent, eco-friendly, and perfect for navigating the narrow lanes of Mandrem and Agonda.
Booking: For medical-grade Panchakarma (usually 7–21 days), you must book at least 2 months in advance due to the high demand from international medical tourists.
