Autumn is a magical time in Central Oregon. Clear days and gorgeous fall colors are perfect for taking in the region’s natural beauty, whether from aboard one of Big Sky Balloon Co.’s hot-air balloons or on a hike through the forest. It’s also a time to celebrate the season’s bounty at the Sisters Harvest FaireBend Fall Festival, and local farmers markets.

Fall is also a season to prioritize wellness. It’s a time of inward reflection, for slowing down and appreciating the world around you, and Central Oregon’s a great place to do it. Here are seven perfect spots in the region for an autumnal wellness retreat.

3. Take a Healing Journey at Juniper Preserve

Wellness takes center stage at Bend’s luxurious Juniper Preserve. Visit the spa for a balancing gemstone facial or a traditional ayurvedic massage, or revive your spirit with a transcendental breathwork session or an energy-clearing intuitive bodywork session. Juniper also sometimes offers sound baths in partnership with the sonic healers at Soundshala. For something more vigorous, choose from a long list of activities, from pickleball clinics and bicycle rentals to pool paddleboarding and yoga classes — or, of course, a round at the award-winning Pronghorn Golf Club.
