There are many reasons why you might need a sleep vacation. You might be looking for a permanent fix for persistent insomnia or a temporary getaway from a hectic schedule that has you staying up all hours of the day. Regardless of the reason, sleep deprivation leads to many mental and physical issues, including difficulty concentrating, reduced immunity, and even heart disease. As I can attest from my own experience with insomnia, feeling exhausted constantly significantly impacts your quality of life.
If you’re functioning on caffeine and determination, the best thing to do for yourself is take a few days off work and head to a sleep retreat. Focusing on both short- and long-term relief, sleep retreats are equipped with various amenities to help you catch up on rest. Consultations, nutrition plans, exercise, and treatments are all on the menu.
Wondering what the best options for a sleep vacation are? Check out our list of the best sleep retreats in the world.

In partnership with the renowned sleep expert, Dr. Michael Breus, Post Ranch Inn offers an exceptional sleep package as an add-on to reservations of two nights or more. The rooms you’ll be assigned if you opt for the sleep package are rooms that have no clocks or televisions so you’re not distracted or bothered about the passage of time.
The package offers two 60-minute treatments from the spa’s Sleep Menu that allow you to soothe your mind and body and help you have quality sleep. Guests who opt for this package will also savour a dinner from the on-site restaurant’s special Serenity Dinner Menu. I would also recommend Post Ranch Inn for their Sweet Dreams gift bags and the sought-after seven-part video series with Dr. Michael Breus that talks about the importance of quality sleep.

4. Carillon Miami Wellness Resort; Miami Beach (from USD 637)
High prices for limited dining and amenities, with inconsistent service.
Spacious rooms, beach and pool service, spa treatments, but limited fitness classes.
Excellent beachfront location with easy access to the beach and great views.
Limited and overpriced dining options, with some disappointing restaurant experiences.
What better way to reset your circadian rhythm than by booking a retreat created by Bryte, the company behind a one-of-a-kind sleep-optimizing smart bed? When you stay at Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, not only will you be sleeping in customizable Bryte Balance™ Smart Beds, but you can also book a Sleep Well Retreat to improve your sleep cycle.

5. Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards New York City; New York City (from USD 845)
Luxurious, but expensive for some; additional charges for room service
State-of-the-art gym, spa, and modern facilities; stunning outdoor pool and terrace
Convenient midtown location, near Hudson Yards and Vessel; easy access to transportation and shopping
Exceptional room service and dining options; limited menu and high prices for some
All the rooms at Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards New York City have amenities to ensure uninterrupted sleep time. These include soundproofing, blackout blinds, and natural-fiber beds with temperature regulation.
But I’m most intrigued by their relaxation package, Art + Science of Sleep by Equinox Hotels. This two-night package is a holistic approach towards a better sleep cycle. Take, for instance, their Spa Wave Table, which will allow you to get 3 hours of sleep in just 30 minutes. Those with chronic sleep issues will also be glad to know that a health assessment and sleep coaching are also available. Not convinced yet? You’ll also get food and drinks to increase melatonin production before bed. Other amenities include cryotherapy treatments and breathwork exercises.
6. Castle Hot Springs; Arizona
Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account
Enjoy fabulous accommodation and a sleep program led by respected sleep scientist Rebecca Robbins at Castle Hot Springs Arizona. Thanks to the small size of the three-night retreat, each guest will be given personalized attention for their issues. Attend discussions and practice guided meditation and centering activities. What’s more, you’ll also have private sessions with Dr. Robbins to help you figure out the best strategy for yourself.
Don’t worry about boredom, as resort activities are included in your stay to keep you on your toes, such as hiking. Meals and beverage credits are also included. And for your stay, you can choose from Spring Bungalow or Sky View Cabin at 2,500 USD and 2,125 USD respectively, with an additional 500 USD for the sleep retreat.
For me, the best part of this property is its access to natural hot springs, exclusively available to guests. Can you imagine a better way to relax?

Along with tasteful decor and a bevy of amenities, The Cadogan, A Belmond Hotel, London also offers a haven for those looking to reset their sleep cycles. You’ll be in good hands thanks to its Sleep Concierge service, developed in partnership with sleep expert Malminder Gill. Choose your favorite from the pillow menu, which you can then spray with the scented pillow mist for a calming vibe. Then, sip the bedtime tea developed by the property to calm yourself while you listen to a meditative recording.
I also love that a one-on-one session with Malminder Gill can also be arranged. While this does have an additional fee, in my opinion, a personalized approach to sleeping problems is the best way to deal with them.

Your stay in this resort starts with a consultation with the resident Ayurvedic doctor. The resort offers a holistic Ayurvedic approach, which will allow you to rejuvenate your mind and body and help you build healthy and lasting sleeping habits. I noticed that they referred to this as seven days of a “bliss boot camp”, which might be exactly what you need if you find that you’re not getting quality sleep!
Apart from the consultation, you can also join a session where you can learn about your diet and the best foods for you, as well as take part in yoga sessions or a guided trip to the Buddhist temple of Mulgirigala Raja Maha Viharaya.
Sitting along the shores of the Indian Ocean in southern Sri Lanka, Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort offers a brilliant setting for you to restore your circadian rhythm. You can fall asleep to the sound of the crashing waves by choosing from one of the ocean-view rooms.

Beautiful cliffside location with a private beach club, but some noise and limited sea access.

Meanwhile, the spa at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan offers unique experiences, such as Sacred Naps, where you’ll be sleeping while suspended in a silk hammock. These sessions will be presided over by Ibu Fera, the resort’s wellness mentor. Reiki using crystal singing bowls and chanting is another option highly recommended for those with insomnia.
