Set to take place on Saturday, 11 June, Global Wellness Day will see 3,000 properties across the world take place in the 5th annual grassroots initiative.

The theme of this year’s Global Wellness Day is “Wellness for Everyone!’’ and major hotel brands across the world are planning a host of free activities to celebrate the international day of health and wellness. Below, we look at some of the highlights of what major hotel brands around the world are doing to celebrate.

Anantara
To celebrate living well, Anatara properties will be hosting a variety of exercise and movement classes and special events. The Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas in Thailand will feature sunrise yoga, a Thai massage workshop and raw food wellness cuisine cooking class. Poolside yoga and herb planting will take place at the Anantara Hoi An Resort in Vietnam, while guests at the Anantara Bazaruto Resort in Mozambique can help plant a vegetable garden at a local school.

Four Seasons
In celebration of GWD, Four Seasons will introduce a range of activities and amenities to spur health and wellness. In Los Angeles, the Four Seasons Beverly Hills will offer sunrise yoga with famed yogi Rainbeau Mars on the property’s rooftop helipad. At the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, activities include Sanskrit chanting with Jimbaran Spa Angels, AntiGravity yoga, a chakra blending class, and evening meditation and blessings, while at the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, guests can take part in a 60-minute “Tour De Mae Rim.”

Mandarin Oriental
Mandarin Oriental hotels around the world are offering a variety of complimentary wellness activities for guests, including a guided jog around the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, a pilates class in the spa garden at Marrakech, a sky-high fitness training circuit with arbour views in Hong Kong and a guided singing bowl meditation in Miami. To complement this, many of the group’s restaurants will offer healthy juices and wellness menus.

Rosewood
Twelve of Rosewood’s hotels will offer spa treatments, fitness classes and wellness seminars. Sample activities include a masterclass on healthy living in Abu Dhabi, along with a formaldehyde-free paint party and recycled sculpture-building session for children. There will also be a nature walk and apothecary healing workshop at Rosewood Tucker’s Point in Bermuda, along with foraging and gardening lessons; plus a tea tasting with a local tea master at the Rosewood Beijing.

Shangri-La
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts around the world will invite guests to find their #ParadiseWithin on Global Wellness Day, with 10-minute massages, juice bars, beach-side yoga, healthy cooking demonstrations and other free wellness activities.
