How do you define wellness? On the Global Wellness Day celebrated on June 12 every year, the active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards a healthy and fulfilling life is embraced by wellness ambassadors from around the world. It becomes their lifelong desire to improve on the quality of life by indulging in meaningful experiences on every occasion.
As change does not happen overnight, GWD is also a reminder to take things one step at a time. Simple changes to regular routines such as walking for an hour, drinking more water, avoiding plastic water bottles, doing a good deed for someone, sharing a dinner with a loved one, and going to sleep early are all welcomed as healthy practices.
Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa understands the importance of a balanced, positive, and proactive lifestyle, and wanted to especially celebrate Global Wellness Day and share it with others. The resort hosted a countdown on their social media handles that was aimed at spreading awareness and encouraging others to highlight the date on their calendars. Each day came accompanied with a new post that highlighted a unique wellness aspect of the resort: adventure, relaxation, activities, healthy eating, and mindfulness.
On the day itself, guests at Hideaway were treated to a special wellness program where a whole day of activities created around the concept of healthier living was carried out. The events kicked off with yoga during sunrise, followed by an active and fun session of Zumba. The cheers were maintained in the water sports competition that was held later in the day along with a beach volleyball match between staff and guests.
The most important part of a healthy lifestyle – tasteful and wholesome food was offered throughout the day, ranging from detox smoothies and coconut water to an interesting cooking class. The afternoon was dedicated to rejuvenation at the luxurious Hideaway Spa. A special “Coconut Beauty Treatment” with aloe/cucumber shots and Hibiscus tea to sweeten the deal pampered guests from within.
Concluding the day, guests were inspired to get on their feet and groove to the beats of the DJ at Meeru Bar.
At Hideaway, the activities will remain a part of their regular routines. Wellness is a mindful concept incorporated well into the curated ocean/farm to table concept cuisines, fun and diverse activities, and the spa treatments that revolve around guest desires to feel like themselves again. Adventure awaits around every bend of the island. Healthy choices are a daily occurrence, and wellness is engrained in the Hideaway experience.
