What began as a program for agility and strength has now evolved into a family‑first journey, framed by the theme Wellness Begins at Home.
The Gaia Hotel Bandung is once again turning its hillside sanctuary into a hub of vitality with the third edition of its Active Wellness Retreat (AWR 2026), held 14–16 May. This year’s retreat underscores the idea that healthy living isn’t a solo pursuit but a shared rhythm. Families are encouraged to cultivate everyday habits—balanced eating, active play, quality rest, and emotional connection—that naturally weave into daily life. The hotel positions the retreat not just as a getaway, but as a blueprint for sustainable wellness at home.
Across three days, participants move through a curated itinerary blending seminars, workshops, and hands‑on activities. Wellness experts including clinical dietitian Emilia Achmadi, family psychologist Pritta Tyas, certified sleep coach Vishal Dasani, and health coach Mia Fitri guide sessions on nutrition, sleep, movement, and family systems.
Day one opens with registration and body composition analysis before easing into a welcoming panel and interactive discussions on mindfulness, relationships, and emotional connection. Evening programs help both adults and children unwind, setting the tone for restorative rest.
Day two is a full immersion: morning exercise for all ages, breakout workshops, and family enrichment activities ranging from cooking classes to woodworking. The emphasis is on collaboration and creativity—parents and children learning, moving, and bonding side by side. Guests also enjoy rejuvenation at Sepik Spa, where restorative treatments and personalized consultations offer a pause for individual well‑being.
The final morning brings families together for exercise and games, followed by a rooftop picnic breakfast overlooking Bandung’s highlands. The retreat closes with a celebratory gathering, sending participants home with practical insights, renewed energy, and shared memories.
Since its inception, the Active Wellness Retreat has become a signature program for Gaia Hotel Bandung, reflecting its commitment to purposeful hospitality. By integrating wellness, creativity, and family connection, the hotel continues to position itself as a lifestyle destination where wellness is not just experienced but lived—together.
