Breaks are so incredibly important ! A survey conducted on American workers revealed that about 50 % of our workforce feels as if they are at a breaking point . The worst part is that most of the time it feels as if we don ' t even have the luxury of that much needed time off due to our demanding jobs and workaholic atmosphere .

With this in mind , I took the time this month to allow myself the luxury of staying at one of the most exquisite wellness resorts I have ever visited . The Carillon Miami Wellness resort is breathtaking from the moment you walk in . The lobby itself greets you with a warm atmosphere and calming ocean vibes that puts you at ease quicker than you can walk to reception . With their no cell phone rule ( no taking calls in public areas that include the fitness center , spa , or restaurant ), you are sure to completely disconnect from all the flurry that is your day-to-day life and genuinely enjoy what ' s in front of you . It was refreshing , to say the least , to be in such a peaceful and tranquil environment . It ' s difficult to describe in words all that the Carillon has to offer . To understand , one must experience it personally .
The Carillon is the perfect staycation spot for those living in the Miami area because it feels so honestly removed from home that it ' s surprising when you jump back into reality that you ' re actually less than an hour away . It ' s the perfect weekend escape because the experience truly removes you from the stress of work and responsibilities while you immerse in a complete and utter state of immense relaxation and tranquility . I have to say that I had some of the best experiences of my life during my weekend staycation at the Carillon , and the resulting mental and physical resets I experienced that weekend allowed me to enter my work week with a level head , and a refreshed body and spirit .
The oceanfront rooms not only include the most incredibly beautiful views you will ever witness in your life , the rooms also include a full kitchen , living area , and bedroom to deliver the maximum level of comfort and ease while you enjoy your stay . While at the Carillon , I found myself surrounded by amenities . The spa , the gym , the four pools , and the spectacular beachside service were almost too much to take in . From sunrises on the beach to deep tissue massages to meditative yoga classes , the Carillon truly has it all .
