Rosewood Launches Journey to Resilience – New Wellness Retreats at 14 Properties

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, a global leader in luxury travel and lifestyle experiences, debuts Journey to Resilience, a new wellness retreat concept designed to enhance one’s ability to recover from or adapt easily to change. The retreats will focus on four main behavioral elements to resilience - positivism, purpose, resourcefulness and compassion, through practices that take individuals on a journey to rediscover one’s life and attain emotional, physical and mental balance.

Following a challenging year with stressful periods and rising levels of anxiety, the Journey to Resilience retreats will address all aspects of wellbeing; the physical, the emotional and the mindful. In keeping with Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy wherein the sensibilities of a destination are woven into the identity of the respective property, each retreat will incorporate practices reflective of local wellness traditions and natural surroundings. Participating properties include Asaya at Rosewood Hong Kong; Rosewood Bangkok; Rosewood Beijing; Rosewood Bermuda; Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco (Tuscany, Italy); Rosewood Guangzhou; Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel (Paris, France); Las Ventanas Al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort (Los Cabos, Mexico); Rosewood Little Dix Bay (Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands); Rosewood London; Rosewood Mayakoba (Rivera Maya, Mexico); Rosewood Miramar Beach (Montecito, CA); Rosewood Phnom Penh and Rosewood Sanya.

The Journey to Resilience experiences provide a truly holistic approach, encouraging guests to let go of lifestyle habits, thoughts and behaviors which no longer have a positive impact. Through fitness, nutrition and other wellbeing therapies, the Journey to Resilience practices will empower individuals to face life’s challenges with confidence and adaptability, and ultimately establish a deep inner equilibrium. Retreat elements at the participating Rosewood properties include:

• Asaya at Rosewood Hong Kong’s Journey to Resilience retreat begins with Resilience Insights in the form of a Wellness Lifestyle Assessment and Body Composition Test. Using traditional methods of assessment including face, pulse and tongue diagnosis, practitioners provide guests with an in-depth analysis of their current body composition to identify which areas require improvement. This retreat includes a Naturopath Consultation as well as a Stress and Sleep Management lesson to ease and relax the body. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is offered to help balance emotions and allow guests to understand the thoughts and feelings that might influence their actions. Other emotional balancing treatments include a Spiritual Warrior class combining dynamic breathing, yoga asanas and martial arts and the Singing Bowl Therapy, an ancient sound healing technique that uses metal bowls to create different harmonics correlated to various energy centers in the body.

Throughout the journey, guests will experience traditional Thai treatments such as Tai Pew Ngam, a ritual inspired by Thai royal beauties that exfoliate the skin, as well as a Chong Massage reflective of the Chong tribe in eastern Thailand that ultimately improves energy.
• Rosewood Beijing ensures that each guest who participates in the Journey to Resilience retreat engages with the property’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Specialist in a one-on-one session.  During the session, various traditional Chinese medicine rituals will be recommended based on each individual’s needs, such as Tui Na, an ancient exercise that works on the body’s energy points combining kneading, vibration and pressure point movements. Guests will also try authentic Scraping practices that stimulate a sensation of both relaxation and rejuvenation.
