Designed to meet the growing demand for immersive wellness travel, the series “moves beyond traditional pampering to embrace a holistic approach centered on three core pillars: Sleep, Nutrition, and Physical & Mental Well-being.” The experience unfolds across a trio of culturally rich and naturally serene locations—Bali, the Maldives, and Goa—with participating properties including Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands, and The St. Regis Goa Resort.

Each resort will offer a bespoke wellness program tailored to its environment, combining expert-led sessions, locally inspired therapies, and curated rituals. This series reimagines luxury travel as a meaningful path toward personal renewal, aligning physical vitality and mental clarity with regional authenticity. Overall, the initiative underscores Asia’s prominence as a wellness destination and Marriott’s continued leadership in luxury hospitality innovation.

Vietnam’s leading wellness-inspired hospitality brand, Fusion Resorts, has unveiled an exclusive series of transformative wellness retreats at three of its premier properties, offering guests immersive mind-body healing experiences that blend tradition, innovation, and personalized care. With a strong focus on holistic well-being, Fusion’s latest offerings reflect a commitment to nurturing mindful lifestyles and fostering sustainable wellness journeys for travelers at every life stage.

At the heart of this new initiative is the Healing Retreat at Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang, available until December 31, 2025. Guests can awaken to the serene sounds of meditative singing bowls and embark on a curated four-day program featuring sound therapy, breathwork masterclasses, and restorative yoga sessions guided by Fusion’s newly appointed Wellness Master, Sanjay Rawat. With over nine years of expertise in holistic health and yoga, Rawat leads daily sessions in pranayama, aerial yoga, meditation, and energy healing. The retreat also includes personalized wellness treatments such as Chakra Balancing and 5 Element Purification Meditation, complemented by a healthy plant-based menu with detoxifying juices and herbal teas.

Meanwhile, Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion, nestled in the tranquil Truong Son Mountains, will host a Panchakarma Retreat from 7th to 13th September 2025, rooted in the ancient Indian science of Ayurveda. This five-day program combines Ayurvedic therapies with morning meditations, yoga, and healing mineral hot spring soaks. Guests undergo personalized Ayurvedic health assessments and enjoy signature treatments like the Four Hand Massage, Shirodhara therapy, Swedena herbal steam baths, and an Ayurvedic vegetarian nutrition plan that supports detoxification and mental clarity. Recently named one of Vietnam’s Best Upcountry Resorts by Travel & Leisure Asia Pacific for the third consecutive year, Alba Wellness Valley continues to elevate wellness tourism in the region.

Fusion’s comprehensive wellness approach is enhanced through its Fusionlife loyalty program, offering exclusive perks on stays, dining, and wellness experiences, making it easier for guests to commit to regular self-care retreats.

With these new programs, Fusion is redefining wellness travel in Southeast Asia by harmonizing physical, mental, and emotional well-being through curated, inclusive experiences tailored to the needs of today’s mindful traveler.

Backed by new data on luxury travel habits, Marriott’s latest play targets a new kind of wellness consumer: one who’s spending more and not traveling alone

With wellness now a top priority for luxury travelers, Marriott International is introducing a new Asia-Pacific series that blends culture, nature and holistic health.

Launching in August, the “Luxury Wellbeing Series 2025” will span three destinations (Bali, the Maldives and Goa) with programming that blends local culture and nature with sleep optimization, nutrition and physical and mental wellness at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands and The St. Regis Goa Resort.

The move taps into rising interest in wellness-driven luxury travel. According to Marriott’s latest trends report, The Intentional Traveler, 90% of high-net-worth travelers now consider wellness offerings a key factor in their booking decisions, with many opting for immersive experiences shared with partners or family members.

“Beyond tranquil retreats, affluent travelers are seeking impeccable, personalized, exceptional wellness experiences,” said Oriol Montal, regional vice president of luxury for Asia Pacific excluding China at Marriott International. “As the Luxury Group aspires to predict and exceed travelers’ ever-evolving expectations, the Luxury Wellbeing Series is more than just a wellness program — it’s a transformative expedition catering to global luxury travelers’ growing desire for holistic enrichment.”

In Bali, guests at Mandapa will explore Balinese traditions through medicinal plant workshops, herbal drink making and Vipassana meditation. The resort’s programming also includes yoga-based sleep therapy and mandala art sessions.

At The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, the program centers on water-based healing and personalized consultations. Guests receive sleep ritual kits, take cooking classes focused on local seafood and vegetarian dishes, and join sunrise floating sound healing sessions, along with coral regeneration activities and guided snorkeling.

Meanwhile, in India, the recently renovated St. Regis Goa Resort draws on Ayurveda. After an initial wellness consultation, guests can engage in dosha-specific meals, sound baths with Himalayan singing bowls, and riverside yoga walks. Sleep rituals include Yoga Nidra paired with herbal tisanes.

The wellness-meets-luxury movement isn’t confined to land. At sea, two high-end brands are pushing the boundaries of design and fitness. Dutch Design, the marine innovation studio behind what it calls the world’s first wellness-first yachts, has partnered with luxury fitness manufacturer Pent to elevate the experience aboard its 139-foot Sea Rover vessels. Originally launched as a limited 10-yacht series in January, each Sea Rover already features a bridge-deck spa, gym and open-air training space. Now, they’ll be outfitted with Pent’s custom fitness equipment, including rowing machines, reformers and handcrafted weight benches tailored to the yacht’s layout.
