The Florida Keys have long been a place for travelers to unwind, but a new collaboration is bringing a surprising dose of R&B nostalgia to the mix. Booking.com partnered with Boyz II Men on creating this one-of-a-kind wellness escape, Boyz II Zen, which was booked in under 3 minutes of going live. The retreat is just one example of the millions of unique places to stay and travel experiences available on the site.
The experience offers a curated itinerary that leans into both self-care and connection. Guests will take part in restorative activities like yoga sessions, sound baths, and massages set to the group’s music. Meals are designed to feel celebratory, from a themed brunch to dinners at local Keys favorites, while leisure time includes a beachside barbecue, golf, and a boat day meant to capture the laid-back spirit of the islands.
The highlight, of course, is a private meet-and-greet with the group themselves, complete with an intimate a cappella performance. For fans, it’s a chance to revisit the soundtrack of their youth in an entirely new setting, one that prioritizes slowing down, tuning in, and savoring the moment during an unforgettable trip.
“After decades on the road, we’ve learned that sometimes the most powerful harmony comes from slowing down and experiencing all that travel has to offer,” said a Boyz II Men spokesperson. “That’s why we’re excited to team up with Booking.com to create space in an amazing vacation home where fans can relax, recharge, and reconnect with both themselves and each other. Boyz II Zen: A Wellness Escape is all about good vibes, real connection, and bringing rhythm into your life and travels in more ways than one.”
As revealed in Booking.com’s 2025 Travel Predictions, men’s travel habits are changing. The typical “bro trip” is giving way to something more intentional, with many looking to recharge, 30% say rest is the priority, 29% want to unplug, 24% are chasing personal growth, and 23% are focused on mental health. And with nearly two-thirds of Gen Z men planning wellness escapes this year, the idea of pairing R&B with R&R feels right on time.
In the end, Boyz II Zen is less about spectacle and more about balance. It’s an unexpected mashup of pop culture and wellness that underscores how travel continues to evolve, offering new ways for fans to connect with the things and the voices that matter most.
For those who missed the chance to book Boyz II Zen, there are countless other wellness-inspired stays and attractions available, from spa-like, secluded vacation homes to mindful adventure escapes. Explore options like the Volcano Rainforest Retreat in Hawaii – includes spa & wellness center, open-air baths, garden views, and a hot tub – or the Wellness Retreat in Colorado – a holiday-home option with a spa & wellness center, garden, and fitness amenities – all on the site.
