June 20, 2023

8,000 venues and professionals in 150 countries will be participating in 7th edition of World Wellness Weekend, celebrated 15th to 17th September, opening their doors to encourage the public to try new fun group classes with friends, family, and colleagues.

World Wellness Weekend was founded in 2017 to support the United Nations’ objective of “Good Health and Wellbeing for All” by promoting five Pillars of wellness: Sleep & Creativity, Nutrition & Immunity, Movement & Vitality, Mindfulness & Serenity, Sense of Purpose & Solidarity.

Jean-Guy de Gabriac, Founder World Wellness Weekend shares “when we feel good after an active group class of yoga or fitness, the smile on our faces is the international sign of wellness.”

Professionals in fitness, sports, mindfulness, hospitality and tourism have heard the UN’s call to support their staff and communities to address the challenges of inactivity, obesity, and anxiety with Les Mills being among the participating fitness organisations.

Other participating venues and groups include AIRE Ancient Baths, Anantara, Aqua Life, Banyan Tree, Canyon Ranch, Catalonia Resort, Chenot Spa, Chiva Som, Conrad, David Lloyd Clubs, Excellence Resorts, Fairmont, Fitness First, Fivelements, Four Seasons, Fusion, Hard Rock Hotel, Hyatt, Iberostar, Jumeirah, Hilton, Majestic, Mandara, Marriott, Melia, Mövenpick, Nobu, Nyama Wellness, Oberoi, Pullman, Raffles, Rancho La Puerta, Riu, Royal Mansour, Sandals, SeleQtions, Sensasia, Six Senses, SNOW Group, Sofitel, Taj, TRX, Vivanta, W, Waldorf Astoria, Zulal Wellness Resort.

This 7th edition offers a wide range of creative ways to democratise wellbeing: robotic massage with artificial intelligence in Lyon and a massage festival in Kenya; in person guided relaxations and immersion in MetaWellness to discover 2030; mega-sports event in Punta Cana and support for many NGOs.
