HO CHI MINH CITY (June 10, 2024) – Though guests of wellness-focused hotels and resorts often leave feeling more inspired, healthy, and centered, few people know exactly how beneficial their holiday was when it comes to wellbeing. Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort has changed that by putting their wellness offerings to the test through a curated wellness holiday where special guests tracked their progress with Garmin smartwatches.
“In the age of fitness tracking and health monitoring and with the advances in digital technology in the wellness space we can monitor how a holiday impacts us and see tangible results on our screens,” explained Andrea Barbi, head of marketing APAC at Meliá Hotels International “Through our collaboration with Garmin and our extensive wellness offerings inspired by the Mediterranean lifestyle our guests can see how they can achieve their goals all while enjoying a sun-soaked beach vacation and embracing ‘la dolce vita’.”
Several local celebrities and health enthusiasts including Miss Vietnam 2022 Ngọc Châu, Miss Vietnam 2014 Kỳ Duyên, singer ST Sơn Thạch, singer Phan Lê Ái Phương, photographer/influencer Vương Thiên Minh, MC/actress Mi Soa, and influencer Annie D Nguyễn visited Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort on June 5th, with their Garmin smartwatches. The goal: to experience the broad range of wellness activities and options available to guests and see the benefits with Garmin.
Each guest’s journey began at their own Wellness Villa, a wellbeing add-on service the resort launched earlier this year for The Level villas. In these seaside abodes with private pools, the amenities and furnishings offer support around three health pillars: physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Amenities include a Vitamin C Shower, a yoga and fitness space with a yoga mat and yoga block, a set of five different levels of resistance bands, six different weights of dumbbells and a fitness ball, a private meditation area with a meditation cushion and carpet, bamboo tray with Tibetan singing bowls, a set of Shungite stones (to boost energy levels and relieve stress and anxiety), a reed oil diffuser with diffusing sticks, a lavender essential oil and body mist to help with sleep, and an Amethyste Stone, placed beneath the pillow or on the bedside table, to promote a better night’s rest.
The new setup provided the opportunity for various in-room workouts which complemented the array of activities the resort also regularly offers and was available to the celebrity group, such as sunrise yoga, Tai Chi, meditation, the new Wellness Pathway, and various sports activities that tap into the healing powers of the outdoors, such as SUP and kayaking.
Meliá Ho Tram’s wellness menu concept is weaved into the regular menu, helping guests to make smart food choices at every meal. Guests followed the suggested Balance by Meliá plan that included a Dinner for Mind & Soul with choices that highlight the brand’s Mediterranean roots along with the resort’s seaside location. The Wellness Healthy Breakfast featured asparagus spinach egg white omelet, quinoa avocado salad jar, and red berries soy yogurt seeds granola parfait, among a range of other healthy choices.
Garmin smartwatches enabled participants to track their fitness activities using over 50 sports apps and animated workouts. They also monitored their sleep, body battery, calories burned, and more, with Garmin’s 24/7 continuous body tracking system. They could get all the health-related stats they needed directly on their wrist.
“All our invited guests were happy and showed up with enthusiasm, expanding their health and fitness horizons through our wellness experiences,” said Álvaro Bertón Rodríguez, general manager of Melia Ho Tram. “We created these wellness offerings to help all our guests along on their path of self-discovery and personal growth and with the help of Garmin we’ve been able to quantify the benefits.”
“Our ‘Be More’ campaign embodies Garmin’s unwavering commitment to inspiring positive living. With our innovative smartwatches, users can continuously evolve and enhance themselves every day,” said Mr. Ivan Lai, country manager of Garmin Vietnam. “The wellness trip with Meliá exemplifies how Garmin supports users on their health journeys, fostering a holistic state of physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By integrating our cutting-edge technology into this wellness retreat, we can clearly demonstrate the tangible benefits and measurable impact of adopting healthier habits and routines.”
