Cold and flu season is approaching, and these retreats focus on wellness. From meditation to yoga and massages, here's what spas and resorts are offering to promote health among corporate groups.

In Santa Monica, California, Hotel Casa del Mar offers private sessions in AIRR (Automatic Integrative Relaxation Response). The sessions focus on alleviating stress and developing tools to deal with daily life challenges. The founder of the program, John Sahakian, can customize sessions to different groups' wellness goals or lead short seminars before meetings or work with groups during daylong retreats. The sessions, which include practicing breathing and relaxation techniques, can take place in meeting rooms or on the beach and can accommodate 10 to 30 guests.

The St. Regis Aspen Resort in Colorado hosts a three-day "Mountaintop Reboot" program.

The program is available through April 17 and can be customized to groups.

In Scottsdale, Arizona, the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain has customized group wellness programs. The programs can incorporate swimming, spa treatments, hiking, triathlon training, and an activity called "Zennis," which blends yoga and tennis. The retreats are customized to individual groups and can be easily adapted to suit different numbers of guests. For more one-on-one time with the fitness instructors, though, staffers recommend keeping group sizes to 10 to 12 guests. Starting in 2016, corporate groups can rent out the resort's new Spa House, which will host meditation retreats and offer a private pool, sauna, workout studio, and tennis court.

The spa also hosts custom half- and full-day activities for groups, and programs can include personal training, yoga, Pilates, spa lunches, and lounging in the Hammam (pictured).
