Santiburi Koh Samui, S Hotels & Resorts’ natural five-star retreat on Samui’s stunning north shore, is celebrating Global Wellness Day on 10th June 2023 with a full day of activities to help all guests – including families with children – enhance their physical, mental and spiritual health.
First staged in 2012, Global Wellness Day is now observed in tens and thousands of locations worldwide, reaching over half a billion people. The theme of this year’s event is #DanceMagenta, a bright and vibrant dance program centred around three key pillars: 1 – “Dance with your Body” (as a form of physical exercise), 2 – “Dance with your Mind” (as a means of meditation), and 3 – “Dance with Life” (incorporate dancing into all aspects of your daily routine). The aim is to create a joyous global dance party that will inspire everybody to improve their wellbeing.
Santiburi Koh Samui has always strived to create a holistic path to wellness. Through its innovative Lèn Be Well concept, guests can customize their stay with a choice of programmes – Adventure, Family, Relax, Romance and Culture – to help them find their personal path to happiness and wellbeing. Each programme blends three elements – Spa Treatments, Activities and Gourmet – to build bespoke daily schedules. To mark Global Wellness Day, the resort will now be incorporating these diverse elements into an immersive day of discovery.
Travellers can look forward to an action-packed day of special events and sessions on 10th June, starting at sunrise with an energizing “Dance with your Body” class on the Beach Lawn, followed by a morning “Family Mini Olympics” – a wonderful way to introduce kids to the benefits of wellness in a fun way. The attention then turns to gastronomy, as guests are invited to learn how to make Lèn Wellness Shots and Healthy Acai Bowls, led by the resort’s Executive Chef.
In the afternoon, the experts at Lèn Spa will host a “Trigger Point & Musculoskeletal Techniques Workshop,” which introduces the science behind massage and the body’s natural pressure points, and a “Traditional Muay Thai Session” will let guests work up a sweat. Then, as the sun sets, “Dance with Thoughts” and “Candlelight Meditation” sessions will provide opportunities for spiritual reflection.
Children will also be able to join Global Wellness Day with a fun-filled day of activities at Panya & Yim’s Junior Camp, from natural trails and stone painting to Thai dance, kids’ yoga and more! Santiburi Koh Samui will even be inspiring its own team members to embrace the spirit of wellness with a morning dance class and special healthy meals throughout the day.
Ms. Chanapach “Chana” Khumkhur, Cluster Wellness Manager of S Hotels & Resorts, who is also a key supporter of Global Wellness Day, commented: “We are delighted to join millions of people around the world in celebrating Global Wellness Day on 10th June. Through its pioneering Lèn Be Well concept, Santiburi Koh Samui has always strived to help global visitors feel the myriad benefits of wellness, whether through sport, fitness, nutrition, mindfulness or any other aspect of self-care. Under the theme of GWD 2023, #DanceMagenta is a great way for all ages to feel the joy of dancing! We encourage everybody to join us and achieve their own unique route to wellbeing.”
