Transformative wellness is more than a trend-it's an evolution. Beyond authentic and experiential, transformative wellness is a multi-step sensory journey, curated by specialists, that leads you down an emotionally therapeutic path. The treatments are not randomly selected and ordered-they're chosen specifically and strung together to produce a deeply personal transformation.

Think of it like a night out at a fancy restaurant. A typical spa visit is like randomly selecting various menu items across the board without attempting to connect flavor or style. A transformative wellness visit, however, is more akin to a seven-course feast, with each course chosen to build off the one before, until you swallow that last, delectable mignardise and think to yourself that you'll never see food the same way again.

So how does that translate into the world of wellness? Each spa has a unique take on transformative wellness, trying to lead you through the journey in their own, local way. For example, at the Chopra Center at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, Chopra-trained practitioners, along with mind-body medical consultants, customize a multi-step, Ayurvedic plan to balance your unique mind and body type.

Water is the focus at the 35,000-foot SE Spa at Grand Velas Los Cabos, an all-inclusive luxury resort. Their Water Journey is a multi-sensory ritual with seven unique experiences: sauna, steam with chromotherapy, ice room, sensory shower, polar pool and Jacuzzi, thermal lounge and a sensation pool. This sensational tour of refreshing contrasts awakens your body and revitalizes your perceptions of the world.

Rosewood Phuket takes a different approach to Asaya, their holistic wellness concept. Here, you have the choice of three wellness journeys-Cleanse, Balance and Fit-with each one lasting from two to six days. Each journey is personalized to your needs, starting off with an in-depth consultation. Once your journey begins, you will enjoy a comprehensive range of experiences-from alternative therapies, coaching sessions, education workshops and exercises-expertly combined to create lasting change.
