As travelers across the globe seek deeper connection, healing, and meaning from their journeys, Marriott International is responding with the official launch of its Luxury Wellbeing Series 2025. Unfolding across three of the world’s most spiritually rich destinations—Goa, the Maldives, and Bali—this immersive program promises a blend of ancient healing traditions, personalized wellness consultations, and nature-integrated experiences, redefining the landscape of luxury travel.
Launching this August, the series is designed around three foundational pillars: Sleep, Nutrition, and Physical & Mental Wellbeing, crafted to promote holistic restoration. Whether travelers are seeking Ayurvedic renewal on India’s west coast, ocean-centered healing in the Maldives, or spiritual awakening in Bali, each resort within this initiative offers a distinctly curated wellness journey backed by cultural authenticity and scientific insight.
Goa: The St. Regis Goa Resort — Where Ayurveda Meets Coastal Serenity
Set amid Goa’s tranquil coastline and lush greenery, the St. Regis Goa Resort leads the series with a retreat grounded in Ayurveda, India’s ancient science of life. Freshly renovated for the 2025 season, the resort invites guests to embark on deeply personalized wellness journeys that begin with a one-on-one Ayurvedic consultation.
Each guest receives a tailored program addressing individual doshic imbalances and wellness goals. From herbal-infused treatments to Yoga Nidra-based Sleep Rituals, the experience is designed to calm the nervous system and reset the body’s natural rhythms.
- 🌿 Farm-to-Table Ayurvedic Meals: Based on your dosha type, these meals are prepared with organic local produce and healing spices.
- 🌿 Spice Garden Walks: Learn the medicinal uses of ancient Indian herbs in guided sessions.
- 🌿 Sound Bath Therapy: Using Himalayan singing bowls to balance energy and ease emotional tension.

This blend of tradition and tranquility makes Goa a cornerstone of Marriott’s wellness commitment in South Asia.
Maldives: The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands — Wellness by the Water
At the heart of the Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands is a unique philosophy called “Deep Blue Wellness”, based on the ocean’s healing power. Here, water becomes both therapist and teacher.

Wellness as the New Luxury: A Global Travel Shift
As wellness becomes a primary reason for travel, the Marriott Luxury Wellbeing Series 2025 represents more than a spa program—it’s a strategic repositioning of luxury hospitality toward purpose-driven tourism.
