Wellbeing simply means, above all else, a state of feeling good, a connexion between physical, mental, and social health… A state of satisfaction, personal accomplishment, physical vitality, and more.
Who would’ve thought that these times of isolation are an excellent stand for what Banyan Tree taught us and who would’ve said that there would not be a better time to practice what we had felt as recharging and sensorily energizing for a few days?
Banyan Tree prides itself with 12 new villas since last year, focused only on wellbeing, sustainability, and all kinds of rituals. From special dishes made just for you, sleeping rituals, therapies, detox, and connecting with nature and even details like the way the villa is built, colors, bedsheets, smells, and touches, everything is engineered to offer you a journey of senses through programs created just for you.
There are 50 activities to chose, from Yoga, posture exercises, breathing exercises, sound meditation, stretching or even meditations to improve your sleep. All perfectly complemented by the experience of those guiding or assisting you, true masters, and teachers.
I am grateful I made it, in the short and insufficient time spent with them, to give up preconceptions regarding meditation, and find the way to myself, to knowledge and understanding, easier than I thought. I have to confess I always had a reticence towards meditation (Yoga was also part of this category), and this mainly came from lack of knowledge as well as from fear of knowledge. As a true control freak, I never dared surrender myself to invisible hands guiding me to a part of me I had yet to discover.
Leaving this aside, we want you to know that we encourage you to, at least once, cleanse your soul at Banyan Tree, once the gates of the world reopen. You can read about our first visit here, and for details regarding the therapies and how they work follow us on Instagram (we documented everything in the Highlights section).
Everything looks amazing there. I hope we can go some day.
Totally recommend the experience. It was truly special
