Self care applies to you too gentlemen
A few weeks ago, I wrote an opinion piece on why Black men should include wellness retreats in their travel plans for 2026, inspired by a wellness getaway I experienced in December.
What I didn’t expect was the overwhelming response after I shared it on social media.
Black men filled the comments not only agreeing, but also asking for recommendations. That response made it clear that more of us are ready to prioritize rest, healing, and mental clarity as part of how we travel.
So I did the work and put together a list.
There aren’t nearly enough wellness retreats designed with Black men in mind, but these six experiences are a strong starting point.
And who knows, maybe The Quintessential Gentleman will host one of our own soon.
