for example, nothing beats
stand-up paddleboarding in
the pristine cerulean waters. As you take in the
striking surroundings and enjoy unplugged time
outdoors, you'll forget all the activity points you're
racking up on your smart watch. Plus, healthy
adventures are easier than ever to tack onto a
trip. Organizations like O.A.R.S. and Tauck, two of
HGV's ClubPartners, offer water adventures like
rafting and guided journeys, respectively.

GET FIT: Hop on the bike-share trend with Citi Bike in
New York or Capital Bikeshare in Washington, D.C.-
two of many HGV destinations with citywide bike rental
programs. In fact, Club Members staying at The District by
Hilton Club or West 57th Street by Hilton Club will find a
bike-share rack less than two blocks from the resorts. Prefer
to stay stationary? Sign up for a spinning class at one of the
SoulCycle studios located across the country, and near HGV
resorts, including in Las Vegas, New York, Washington, D.C.,
Miami and Chicago.

HEALTHY EATING

It used to be that vacations were considered a time
to ditch calorie counts and savor splurge meals.
Now people are using the opportunity to eat more
mindfully. Spas often have menus specializing
in healthy fare, and many hotels offer vegan,
gluten-free or calorie-conscious options. Plus,
resources for wellness travelers seeking specific
dietary needs abound online, with websites such
as HappyCow mapping out vegan and vegetarian
options around the world.
Some resorts take it a step further by involving
guests in what they eat-from foodie experiences
and cooking classes to tasting wine made from
grapes grown just outside your window and touring

the wineries that create it. (See below for details
about how Club Members can sign up for an
experience like this in Tuscany, Italy.)
Some destinations are made for wellness, such as
Calistoga, California. Where there's wine, there's
food, so culinary options flourish in this small Napa
Valley city. Combine that with Northern California's
penchant for healthy eating, and you have some of
the best cooking classes at your fingertips.
FIND A HEALTHY ACTIVITY: Outside of visiting
vineyards, Club Members can also get a taste of what's
local, have fun and stay healthy by visiting U-pick farms near
HGV and its partner properties around the world. Pick
tomatoes mid-July through October outside Myrtle Beach,
strawberries in July and August in the Scottish Highlands or
apples from late summer to midfall in Southern California
near Carlsbad and the greater San Diego area.
