Think sound therapy, yoga, and fresh, flexitarian food at hotel heavyweight Banyan Tree’s new wellness offering in Laguna Phuket.
“With our hyper-stimulated modern life, our nervous systems cannot truly relax – and therefore, rest. Chronic stress erodes our natural immunity and regenerative capacity,” says Banyan Tree Group senior vice president, brand and commercial, Ho Ren Yung. For meals, go light with plant-centric cuisine, inspired by Asian and Mediterranean flavours. Tailored menus are available.At Veya, customised wellbeing programmes kick off with a private consultation, attended by “wellbeing hosts” certified in Eastern medicine, naturopathy, and coaching.
Then there’s what Banyan Tree dubs weightless therapy: pool floatation with body stretch massage and sound therapy.
