Mandarin Oriental to launch Digital Detox in September

Mandarin Oriental will launch a Digital Detox initiative at all of its spas worldwide beginning September 5th, 2016.

The programme is designed to help guests find new ways to manage their relationship with technology and the stress that can come with a constantly connected digital lifestyle.

“Technology has brought us many great advances,” said Jeremy McCarthy, group director of spa and wellness at Mandarin Oriental.

“But the expectations for instant communication and the increasing pace of change in the world can have a negative impact on our wellbeing.”

Now, by booking any treatment at a Mandarin Oriental spa, guests can also access a range of wellness advice and activities designed to help them disconnect from technology.

Mandarin Oriental has worked with the renowned Mayo Clinic on the creation of a range of tips and guidelines that can help establish personal boundaries on the use of technology, clear mental chatter and establish a healthy, digitally balanced lifestyle.

The Digital Detox initiative encourages guests to surrender their phones on arrival at the spa, thus removing any online distractions.

In the spa relaxation rooms, guests can access a full range of mindfulness activities such as journaling, note card writing, colouring, meditation or simply relaxing and enjoying the silence.

There will also be a selection of curated spa retail offerings, ranging from crystals and eye masks to meditation pillows and a selection of calming teas and oils.

All have been chosen to encourage mindfulness and digital disconnection.

“The spa is one of the few places left in modern society where it is acceptable and even encouraged to disconnect from technology,” said McCarthy.

“The Spas at Mandarin Oriental provide a perfect haven for people to escape from technology, even if only briefly, to rest their minds and reconnect with themselves.”

On departure, inspired by tips on how to achieve a more digitally balanced life, guests can reclaim their cleaned device from the spa, repackaged in its own protective digital shielding.

To further support this new Digital Detox initiative, The Spas at Mandarin Oriental will again offer an annual Silent Night event for the holiday season.

On December 14th, 2016 each spa will have a special silent retreat to remind guests about the importance of taking personal time for reflection, introspection and silence.

sandals

Info- //www.sandals.com/about

The Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort & Offshore Island in Nassau will close from Aug. 15 to Oct. 13 “due to circumstances beyond our control,” according to a letter sent to travel agents.

Although the letter did not detail the reason behind the temporary closure of the resort, the decision comes weeks after labor tension led to a protest staged by the union representing Sandals workers, according to the Nassau Guardian. The resort employs about 490 line staff and 100 managers.

“We appreciate your patience as we work through this challenging time,” wrote Gary Sadler, senior vice president of sales for Unique Vacations, the sales and marketing arm of Sandals Resorts International.

Guests have been offered rebooking at another Sandals or Beaches resort and were assured that Sandals would absorb all airline change fees.

In addition, Sandals is extending two complimentary nights to any stay, valid for one year from original date and based on availability.

Sandals has set up a 24-hour hotline at (800) 965-2364 for questions and concerns.
