In response to the universal longing for calmness and the rise of wellness tourism, The Westin Surabaya has introduced its latest guest experience called Wellness Oasis.
This program is designed to support mental health, inner balance, and rejuvenation through mindfulness-based activities.
Through natural connection, creative expression, guests here are gently guided into initiatives that supports their well-being and physical fitness.
Wellness Tourism as Indonesia’s Government Initiative
This also aligns with the Indonesian government’s initiative to promote it as a national trend.
According to a study by the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia, wellness tourism in the country encompasses eight key dimensions: fitness, healthy eating, healthcare, spa & beauty, mind-body balance, spirituality & connection, self-development, and eco-tourism & adventure.
Six Wellness Zones Based on “Move Well, Feel Well, and Play Well” Pillars
Grounded in Westin’s brand pillars of well-being “Move Well, Feel Well, and Play Well”, the program guides guests on a self-guided journey through six distinct wellness zones:
- Sensory Walk: Guests can walk barefoot on different natural surfaces like grass, sand, and river stones to reconnect with nature. This invites guests to slow down by awakening their senses and enjoy the present moment.
- Meditation Corner: A quiet space for guests to disconnect from distractions and find inner peace through reflection. In a world full of distractions and endless scrolling, this serene nook allows guests to reflect on the past, enjoy the mindfulness of the present or simply envision the future.
- Postcard Painting: Expressing gratitude and emotions through art is a good way of exercising one’s creativity. Or explore some form of natural therapy through it. These personalized postcards are also great collectibles to remind one of the trip, or simply to share with loved ones at home.
- Detox Box: This playful human connection is an invitation to unplug from digital devices and connect with others through classic board games.
- Mindful Photography: The scenic corners of The Westin Surabaya can encourage guests to find and capture joyful moments in their surroundings. Instead of taking lots of photos
- Gratitude Nest: A peaceful spot for guests to reflect on and write down what they are thankful for, which contributes to positivity.
According to Denny Ristyanto, the General Manager, the Wellness Oasis is a way to help guests not just stay well, but truly thrive in their well-being. “In today’s fast-paced world, true luxury lies in the ability to pause, breathe, and be present.”
Whether seeking quiet introspection or joyful discovery, the Wellness Oasis encourages every guest to explore, express, and embrace personal well-being in meaningful and lasting ways.
