From Restorative Rituals to Energizing Escapes—Wellness is Reshaping the Future of Events
Wellness in Events Starts with Intention
Events aren’t just about sharing information anymore—they’re about sparking transformation. As stress levels rise and attention spans dwindle, wellness in events has evolved from a trend into a design essential. Whether it’s conscious catering or cultural fitness, today’s most impactful events are those that leave attendees feeling relaxed, inspired, and fully alive.
Across our global destinations, Hosts Global Members are leading the charge—curating wellness-forward experiences that prioritize movement, mindfulness, and nourishment. These aren’t just memorable moments. They’re moments that matter.
Let’s explore how our Members are putting wellness center stage—and reshaping the way the world gathers.

Where the Horizon Heals and the Land Leads the Way
Wellness in the Wilds of East Africa
Classic Journeys, A Hosts Global Member
There’s something profoundly healing about East Africa—something no spa brochure or yoga app can replicate. It’s in the stillness of the savannah at sunrise. The hush that falls over the plains when a herd of elephants passes. The deep breath you didn’t know you needed until you were surrounded by wide skies, warm winds, and ancient earth.
In Kenya and Tanzania, wellness isn’t a scheduled activity—it’s a way of life. Classic Journeys crafts immersive programs where every element is rooted in nature, culture, and intentionality. Think guided meditation with nothing but the Serengeti breeze in your ears. Volcanic-ash massages in shaded bush pavilions. Reflective journaling after a slow safari through Ngorongoro’s misty crater.
Whether it’s a Digital Detox Retreat under Kilimanjaro or a Soulful Spa Journey beneath starlit skies, these experiences reconnect guests to something bigger than themselves—and more essential than ever. This is wellness stripped of gimmicks and reimagined with soul, story, and scenery that stays with you long after the journey ends.
Where the Beat Drops and the Burn Begins
Move Ya Brass in New Orleans
Hosts New Orleans
In New Orleans, wellness doesn’t whisper—it sings, it shouts, it struts. And no one captures that spirit quite like Move Ya Brass, the city’s most joyful mashup of movement and music. Born from the vibrant energy of local jazz singer Robin Barnes, this wellness experience swaps spa music for brass bands and meditation bells for Mardi Gras moves.
Think: cardio that feels like a second line, team-building that gets your blood pumping and your spirits soaring. Whether it’s a Bounce Ya Brass dance party or a Sculpt Ya Brass strength session, every moment is inclusive, energizing, and drenched in local soul. For planners seeking a wellness activation with a side of spectacle, this is New Orleans at its most vibrant—moving, shaking, and unforgettable.
Where Wellness Starts with What You Serve
Fueling Focus with Conscious Catering in Spain
Spaintacular, A Hosts Global Member
Gone are the days of rubber chicken lunches and carb-heavy buffets. Today’s events demand more—more nourishment, more intention, more energy. In Spain, Spaintacular is redefining what it means to feed a crowd, proving that food can be both indulgent and intelligent.
At the heart of their programs is a powerful idea: what we eat shapes how we feel, think, and perform. That’s why their menus lean into brain-boosting ingredients, farm-to-table freshness, and Mediterranean flavors that feel both luxurious and light. Think chia pudding breakfasts, omega-rich tapas, matcha shots between sessions, and cold-pressed juices to keep the momentum flowing.
Spaintacular goes beyond plating food—they’re designing culinary moments that support wellness, enhance focus, and keep attendees fully in the zone. Whether it’s a tea ceremony break, a cooking demo with a local chef, or a perfectly balanced working lunch, this is food as fuel. Delicious, intentional, unforgettable.
Because Even Caregivers Need to Be Cared For
A Wellness Reset on the Island of Gozo
Colours of Malta, A Hosts Global Member
In the hospitality world, professionals are often the ones pouring into others—crafting experiences, solving problems, and creating magic behind the scenes. But who holds space for them? When the emotional weight of the industry began to show, Colours of Malta stepped in with a bold answer: a retreat not for guests, but for the givers themselves.
Set on the tranquil, sun-drenched island of Gozo, this soul-nourishing wellness retreat was crafted for those who rarely pause. It unfolded gently—beginning with poolside chats, then flowing into yoga by the sea, and a powerful sound healing session inside the ancient Mixta Cave.
From Ayurvedic meals served with intention to open discussions about work-life balance in a rustic converted farmhouse, every detail was curated to invite stillness, connection, and care. This wasn’t just a wellness retreat—it was a guided return to self for the people who make everyone else’s experiences unforgettable.
Sometimes, the most powerful transformation happens in silence—just beyond the sound.
Sound Healing That Shifts the Energy
Hosts Global Members Juice Studios & Roberts Event Group
In the fast-paced world of corporate events, where agendas are packed and energy can run high, moments of true stillness are rare. But when sound is used not to energize a room, but to ground it, something extraordinary happens.
Juice Studios, A Hosts Global Member, orchestrated a beachfront sound bath where guests laid beneath the open sky, the rhythmic pulse of the ocean blending with the hum of crystal singing bowls. Each note melted tension, invited breath, and opened the door to deep calm.
Meanwhile, Roberts Event Group, A Hosts Global Member, brought this practice into a corporate setting—introducing a shaman-led sound healing experience that helped attendees disconnect from stress and reconnect with themselves. As vibrations rippled through the space, hearts softened, nervous systems reset, and the energy of the entire room subtly but powerfully shifted.
These weren’t simply wellness moments—they were shared rituals of renewal. And they reminded us: when we create space for sound, we create space for healing.

Run With the Flow in Austin, Texas
Sometimes, wellness shows up in the simplest of ways—with fresh air, good company, and the steady rhythm of sneakers on pavement.
Hosts Texas
In Austin, where creativity and wellness thrive side by side, Hosts Texas has turned a morning jog into a must-do experience. Each spring, during their annual conference, planners and attendees lace up and join a guided run (or walk) along the scenic trails of Town Lake—just steps from the city’s top hotels.

No frills. Just a meaningful way to energize the day, boost mental focus, and build community—one mile at a time.
Wellness Isn’t a Perk—It’s the New Standard
