"Northern cool is getting hotter with the launch of Laugarás Lagoon on Iceland's Hvítá River (not one but two levels of geothermal bathing), and Hagastrand Spa in Stockholm (self-playing gong installations and an event sauna for storytelling rituals). Van Oys Maastricht Retreat in the Netherlands completes its rebirth with Oysana spa. The castle's boons are its 13th-century origins, mist-shrouded woods and a private spring. Set in a former stable, Oysana leans into this with a SlowSync ethos centered around harmony with nature."
"Meanwhile on the other end of the thermometer, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Amaala at Triple Bay in Saudi Arabia lights up with desert fire rituals, stargazing, and a collaboration with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. Clinique La Prairie expands its holistic longevity ethos with two new resorts-one also in Amaala, the other in Phuket, Thailand. Mailena Wellness Resort, on the Baja California shoreline, awakens wellness on Mexico's west coast with its state-of-the-art Wellness and Longevity Center."
"Offshore, island energy is making waves. Ūrjā opens at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, billing itself as a "naturopathy island" majoring in stillness and the body's innate power to heal. On Malta, adults-only Verdala Wellness Hotel is the country's first integrated wellness resort, with gourmet anti-inflammatory dining and seasonal retreats. Small but mighty Eha, on Estonia's Hiiumaa island, part of a Unesco biosphere, has at its heart dawn mist walks, wild herb foraging, and Baltic ancestral healing."
New thermal and spa venues are launching across Europe, the Middle East, Mexico and islands. Laugarás Lagoon on Iceland’s Hvítá River offers two levels of geothermal bathing, while Hagastrand Spa in Stockholm features self-playing gongs and an event sauna for storytelling. Oysana at Van Oys Maastricht Retreat occupies a former stable and promotes a SlowSync ethos amid misty woods and a private spring. Four Seasons Amaala in Saudi Arabia adds desert fire rituals, stargazing and celebrity-trainer programming, while Clinique La Prairie and Mailena expand longevity-focused centers. Island projects such as Ūrjā, Verdala and Eha emphasize naturopathy, anti-inflammatory dining, foraging and ancestral healing. Deepak Chopra’s Ameyalli plans a hot-springs opening in Utah in 2027.
