While 88% of Britons think they need a recuperation holiday, just 29% of them intend to take a medical, holistic, beauty or spiritual break this year, in contrast to 64% of Italians, 54% of French and 45% of Germans, says the online travel company.
As many as 52% of Britons said such breaks were "too expensive", while many said they were too busy to take such a holiday.
For those Britons keen to enjoy a wellbeing break, 28% would want to do so in their own country, with visits to spas the most popular form of recuperation.
A spokesman for Expedia.co.uk said: "Our research shows a clear desire for people to refresh themselves a little more on a wellbeing break, which is why we believe it is time Brits adopted a more European approach.
"It's a great shame that so many assume this type of break needs to be expensive, when in actual fact a few days away dedicated to mental, physical or spiritual balance can be a very effective way to re-energise yourself."
