Sleep tourism is rising as travelers look for getaways that repair tired minds and bodies. These "sleep sanctuaries" range from medically supervised clinics to low-tech boutique inns, all designed to help you sleep better while you travel. This guide highlights 11 destinations and programs that put rest at the center of the experience, explaining signature sleep features, who each place suits, and booking tips that help you choose. The market for wellness travel is large; industry reporting notes that wellness tourism is on track for continued growth (Yoga Journal). Whether you want a science-driven sleep assessment or a quiet beach suite that encourages longer, deeper nights, this list shows practical options across categories: clinical, holistic, tech-enhanced, and luxury. For practical planning, check program lengths and what each package includes before booking. Keep in mind seasonal variations and program intensity; some retreats work best as short resets while others require multi-day commitments for measurable change.
