For many, the holiday season brings feelings of joy and excitement, but also feelings of anxiety and stress from the hectic schedules, party planning, overindulging and more. For travelers looking to treat themselves to the ultimate gift of R&R before the holiday season, Hyatt resorts around the world offer pre-holiday detox experiences spanning three wellbeing trends.

Immersive Self-Care Experiences to Reset the Mind and Body

At Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort, guests can immerse themselves in the spirit of Maui and nature with an Outrigger Snorkel and Canoeing experience from Maui Pacific Tours. Find calmness when paddling toward the horizon and exploring the shores of Mōkapu Beach. Experience close encounters with whales during whale season, then put on snorkel gear to swim with friendly sea turtles.

For respite, reflection and rejuvenation, the recently opened Miraval Life in Balance Spa at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort Golf Club & Spa features an expansive menu of signature, globally inspired treatments designed to soothe and nurture the body and mind. Ayurveda spa services honor natural therapies and timeless rituals from India, while Energy & Eastern services include Vasudhara, an award-winning sensory water experience, and Nâga, a Thai deep-tissue massage. Other treatments include revitalizing skincare, traditional and prenatal massages, body renewal rituals, nail care, reflexology, craniosacral and Reiki practices.

Alila Ventana Big Sur invites guests to release any pre-holiday stress with a wide range of nature-focused experiences. The immersive Coldstream Bliss: Breath & Plunge Experiences facilitated by the property’s director of programming starts with a short hike leading guests to the ultimate Coldstream Bliss, where guests are guided through deep breathwork before taking a plunge into the cold water. For a healing experience, the intimate Reiki in the Redwoods gives guests the chance to work closely with the resort’s Reiki Master, Katy Hughes. Guests are supported in realigning their energy in a beautiful and inspiring journey beneath the redwoods, designed to foster a unique connection between nature, spirit and self.

Strike a Balance on Heavy Festive Imbibing with Mindful Consumption Offerings

Travelers looking to reduce their cocktail consumption ahead of the holidays can still have a taste with Hyatt’s Zero Proof, Zero Judgement program. The program makes zero-proof beverages a permanent staple for guests and locals alike. Available at Hyatt brands such as Alila, Andaz, Destination by Hyatt, Hyatt Centric, JdV by Hyatt, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, Thompson Hotels and Park Hyatt, this new program is a direct response to the increasing demand from consumers looking to enjoy taste-driven cocktails without the alcohol. Enjoy spirit-free beverages like an Espressno Martini, NO-GRONI and the signature Circle Scarf.

Sleep-Centric Programming to Restore and Channel Calmness

For peace and quiet before family gatherings, Andaz 5th Avenue launched seven feature-rich Wellness Suites. These suites come with exclusive amenities centered around health, wellbeing, self-care and sleep. From the Mirror Gym by Lululemon to an Airweave mattress and minibar RX program, the suites remain true to Andaz’s brand promise of stimulating the senses through bespoke experiences.

For travelers looking for a calming spa experience with a bonus, check out Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa’s Exhale Spa. Book the signature Slumber Massage designed to transition guests into a deep state of relaxation. The service is a take on the classic Swedish massage technique using aromatherapy oil combined with hot stones and warm lavender compresses. Guests can also enjoy a scalp and foot massage followed by sleep for the final 20 minutes.
