Is Star Bathing the Next Big Wellness Travel Trend? | Vogue

"Secluded, inky, light-pollution-free skies over this vast, ancient salt flat set the stage for mindful star bathing; at over 11,500 square miles—nearly the size of Maryland—the ivory patchwork of salt, sand, and clay gave me a front-row seat to the Delta Aquariid meteor shower, an annual July to August spectacle most active in the southern hemisphere, with shooting stars zipping by like a confetti cannon. Reached via a rugged four-hour traverse and experienced as a sleepout with sunset champagne, al fresco beds, fire-cooked fare, and a helicopter ride at dawn, it’s an awe-inspiring adventure." - Stephanie Vermillion
