Dusit Hotels and Resorts will expand Well-Fest 2026 across its global portfolio, offering wellness-focused experiences throughout June in response to growing demand for meaningful travel and wellbeing.
Dusit Hotels and Resorts, the global hospitality portfolio of Dusit International, has expanded Dusit Well-Fest 2026, a month-long wellness initiative that responds to growing demand for wellbeing-focused travel experiences.
Dusit Well-Fest 2026 runs throughout June under the theme “Reset I Reconnect I Reignite.” The programme draws inspiration from Global Wellness Day and marks the campaign’s fifth year.
Participating properties across Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, Guam, the Philippines, the Maldives and other destinations will host wellness activities throughout the month.
The initiative reflects changing travel preferences. More travellers now seek experiences that support emotional wellbeing, better sleep, mindfulness and meaningful connections alongside leisure travel.
Wellness experiences across the portfolio
Guests can join sunrise yoga sessions, mindful movement classes and sound healing experiences. Hotels will also offer wellness-focused dining programmes and sleep-enhancement rituals.
Many properties will introduce additional activities such as ice baths, floating sound therapy, family wellness workshops and storytelling sessions.
The Global Wellness Institute’s 2025 Global Wellness Economy Monitor reported that the global wellness economy reached US$6.8 trillion in 2024. The organisation expects the sector to approach US$10 trillion by 2029.
Florence Jaffre, Corporate Director of Wellness and Kids’ Experience at Dusit International, said:
“Today’s travellers are increasingly looking for experiences that help them slow down, sleep better, feel mentally lighter, reconnect with family and friends, and return home feeling genuinely restored. Well-Fest celebrates this and reflects our commitment to creating experiences that feel restorative and meaningful across all our properties.”
Three pillars guide the programme
Dusit built the programme around three themes inspired by its Devarana Wellness concept: Reset, Reconnect and Reignite.
Reset focuses on rest, mindfulness and recovery. Reconnect encourages shared experiences and stronger human connections. Reignite promotes movement, creativity, vitality and renewed energy.
The programme also explores wellness through three growing lifestyle priorities: mindful sleep, nutritious food and active recreation.
Destination-specific experiences
Each participating property has developed experiences that reflect local culture, wellness traditions and guest preferences.
In Thailand, the Michelin Key-recognised Dusit Thani Bangkok will offer wellness journeys that combine mindful dining, sleep-focused experiences, sound healing sessions, spa treatments and personalised rituals inspired by Thai healing traditions.
Dusit Thani Hua Hin will present “Fire & Frost Retreat” sessions that combine Muay Thai training with ice baths. The resort will also host “Sunset Floating Sound Healing” sessions and family wellness activities.
Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket will offer guided cycling tours, wellness dining experiences, mindful beach walks and creative activities inspired by local culture and nature.
In the Maldives, Dusit Thani Maldives will feature floating sound baths, Ayurvedic-inspired dining experiences and marine adventures within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll.
In Japan, the Michelin Key-recognised Dusit Thani Kyoto will introduce wellness experiences inspired by seasonal traditions and nature. These include the “Dusit Farm Retreat” programme, WATSU healing sessions and sound bath therapy.
Other participating hotels will offer experiences such as “Rope Flow” movement sessions at Dusit Thani Manila, “Sunrise Reset” wellness rituals and “Bedtime Story – Moonlight Tale” evening programmes at Dusit Hotel Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi.
The initiative reflects a wider shift across the hospitality industry. Hotels increasingly integrate wellness into the overall guest journey rather than limiting it to spa services. Dusit Well-Fest 2026 will take place from 1 to 30 June 2026 at participating properties worldwide.
