In this episode we talk about the most luxurious spa and wellness retreats in the South Pacific—but from the cozy comfort of Norm’s armchair. Let Norm take you on a sensory-rich, imaginative tour through The Brando’s overwater pavilions, Fiji’s coconut-fringed massage huts, and the meditative mountain trails of Aro Ha in New Zealand.
Feel the gentle hands of a Fijian Bobo massage, hear the waves lapping during a Bora Bora stone treatment, and breathe in the scent of vanilla-infused oil at a beachside spa in Tahaa—all through vivid storytelling. Norm blends detailed descriptions with his classic cozy charm, turning these far-off sanctuaries into close-to-home daydreams.
Whether you're meditating on your next trip or simply escaping mentally for a while, this episode is pure tranquility from start to finish. Zero regrets—just deep, healing vibes.
