With a focus on coastal and island destinations, this thematic analysis and conceptual model integrates the therapeutic benefits of nature with health and wellness practices, which investigates the diverse advantages of island and beach environments for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, emphasizing the potential impact on tourism destinations. It will focus on the development of island-model that also addresses some different opposite aspects.
