You don't have to go somewhere exotic to get in shape for summer, but the good news is that you can.

If you have built up some extra winter "layers," there are a lot of options for melting them away while having a vacation at the same time, says Health and Fitness Travel, who can plan the entire getaway for clients.

Here are a few suggestions for the fitness fanatic in all of us.

Blue Waters Living Retreats
Check into Blue Waters Living Retreats in Antigua for a mind, body and soul transformation in the Caribbean sun. In between kayaking, yoga, boxing and pilates sessions, visitors can educate themselves on nutrition, weight loss and detox methods. Ending the day with a spa treatment makes the experience feel more like a vacation.

Santani
Santani Detox in Sri Lanka takes travelers far away from it all. If Sri Lanka is not exotic enough, head into the country's rolling green mountains, where you will find an eco-friendly wellness sanctuary complete with fitness classes, herbal cleanses, diet planning and more.

Kamalaya
Take a holistic approach to health and wellness in Thailand with the Kamalaya Comprehensive Optimal Fitness program on Koh Samui.

Visitors will learn how to balance exercise with holistic healing and get help tailoring workout goals to individual needs. Fitness programs can be combined with a pre-summer cleanse.

Longevity Medical Spa
Take a new approach to healthy living in one of the world's most talked about destinations this year: Portugal. The Longevity Intense Detox & Weight Loss program brings together two worlds-weight loss and detox. Cleanse your major organs with a new anti-inflammatory diet and receive a complex and in-depth biophysical evaluation to maximize your progress.
