Wellness, which was once considered a luxury, is now a necessity in the life of urban travelers. The paradigm shift is more evident in the post pandemic era. Few of the key spa trends for this year include:
Revival of Ayurveda: The millennials are curious to go back to the roots and explore the magic of Ayurvedic science as a preventive health measure while the older generations pick these therapies for healing benefits. Keeping this in mind, we have launched five Ayurvedic therapies namely Abhyangam, Spine Basti, Shirodhara, Kashaya Dhara and Udvartana at our wellness sanctuary Spazzo.
Sound Bath: It is a meditative experience during which a group of people lie down and listen to resonant sounds. It involves echoing sounds by singing bowls which gives a sensation of sound filling the entire room.
Immersive Spas: Immersive Spas use virtual reality technology to make guests feel as if they're surrounded by the natural world while experiencing the healing therapies.
Crystal Healing Therapies: Crystal and Gemstone healing sessions help balance the chakras and enhance well-being.
