As the allure for wellness-centric luxury travel continues to dominate the 2025 landscape in Asia-Pacific, the Luxury Group by Marriott International unveils the “Luxury Wellbeing Series” from August. According to the group’s latest luxury travel trends report, “The Intentional Traveler,” 90 percent of high-net-worth travelers cite wellness offerings as a key factor in their booking decisions. Evolving into a holistic lifestyle pursuit, wellness travelers are planning to spend more, and with more than half planning their wellness getaways with their immediate family or significant other. Beyond just feeling good, there is a growing demand for immersive, holistic wellness journeys over passive pampering, and Asia is the top destination of choice for such experiences.
Spanning across multiple cities in Asia, this wellness odyssey integrates the three pillars of wellness—Sleep, Nutrition, Physical & Mental Well-being—with the cultural tapestry and natural splendor of Bali, Maldives and Goa. Participating properties include Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands and The St. Regis Goa Resort. Each will offer a tailored wellness escapade, redefining luxury travel as a transformative journey towards a healthier, more enlightened self.
