Ritz-Carlton launches Meaningful Wellness Journeys concept with ESPA

The Ritz-Carlton has partnered with luxury skincare brand ESPA to launch an innovative new wellness concept. 

Meaningful Wellness Journeys provides tailor-made experiences designed to provide optimum wellness and equip each guest with the emotional and physical strength to adapt and cope with the stresses of everyday life.

Meaningful Wellness Journeys

The journeys are anchored by three key pillars: mind, body and skin, with each pillar offering its own set of rituals. 

The Wellness Mind Treatments consist of three experiences: the Heal and Renew Facial, the Art of Wellness Massage and the Awakening Bamboo Massage, designed to emphasise mindful awareness, elevate self-care and attentiveness and improve focus and clarity. 

Meanwhile, the Wellness Body Treatments aim to optimise physicality, build resilience and heighten physical awareness and connection. Available rituals include the Wellbeing and Resilience Massage, the Body Fortifying Massage and the Cleansing Body Sculpt Treatment. 

Finally, the Wellness Skin Treatments are designed to promote skin health, boost skin function and maintain balance and vibrancy, and include the Renew and Revitalise Ritual, the Detoxifying Poultice Treatment and the Natural Resilience Facial.

Wellness retreat with Ritz-Carlton and ESPA

Each journey will include unique pre-treatment touchpoints within The Ritz-Carlton Spa to ensure guests are physically and energetically prepared for their treatment. 

Following their journey, guests will also receive post-ritual cards offering useful tips on mindfulness techniques such as breathwork and affirmations, so they can continue their wellness journeys at home. 

Finally, the concept will also see the launch of full-day wellness retreats, where guests can choose three spa treatments from the spa menu, as well as two wellness experiences for the mind, body or skin. The retreat will also include a heathy lunch and ESPA gift.

Holistic wellbeing 

“We’re delighted to offer the ESPA Meaningful Wellness Journeys in collaboration with The Ritz-Carlton spas,” said ESPA managing director Daniel Golby. 

“Luxury consumers are placing a higher value on their wellness needs, and we must adapt to exceed these expectations within the spa industry.

“Holistic wellbeing has always been at the forefront of our treatments and experiences, and we will continue to evolve to meet the growing demand for mindfulness within our spa offering, especially following the challenges of the global pandemic,” Golby added.

Innovative and revitalising wellness experiences

Donna McNamara, VP and global brand leader for Ritz-Carlton, said: “Our Ritz-Carlton Spas are renowned for delivering innovative and revitalising wellness experiences for our guests.

“We’re delighted to build on this legacy through this collaboration with ESPA skincare. These new therapies will offer our guests a unique opportunity for holistic transformation tailored to their individual wellness goals, ensuring we continue to not only meet,  but surpass the needs of today’s luxury traveller.”

The Meaningful Wellness Journeys will be available at select Ritz-Carlton Spas worldwide, with its initial roll-out including Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos; Ritz-Carlton, Abama; Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City; Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage; and Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad.
