Available at all Westin hotels and resorts around the world, the blissful Westin Heavenly Bed®, the nutritious Sleep Well Menu, and refreshing amenities including White Tea Heavenly® Bath products and Sleep Well Lavender Balm to promote a revitalising rest.
"In our survey last year, we learnt that people are putting more emphasis on self-care and recognise the importance of sleep to maintain a good mental and physical well-being," said Jennie Toh, Vice President, Brand Marketing and Brand Management, Asia Pacific, Marriott International. "World Sleep Day is the perfect occasion for Westin to reaffirm our commitment to our guests' well-being through the transformative power of sleep. Our Sleep Well amenities and programmes offer everything they need to achieve a great night's sleep."
Across the Asia-Pacific region, Westin hotels and resorts are commemorating World Sleep Day with a variety of wellness-centered programmes and activities.
Immersive World Sleep Day Programming and Activities:
The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort will celebrate World Sleep Day with more than 15 activities taking place over the course of a week. The resort will be offering one daily complimentary workout session, spa treatment suggestions for better sleep, night guided meditations, sauna and steam rooms with aromatic oils, extensive bubbly bath options, chamomile tea as well as a relaxing playlist specially created by the resident music curator. Sleep Well Menus and Sleep Well tip cards will be placed on guest pillows, elaborating the benefits of the Westin Heavenly Bed®, and Lavender Sleep Balm.
As a highlight of World Sleep Day activities, guests will also have the opportunity to mix and mingle at the resort's inaugural Annual Pajama Party, which welcomes guests in their pajamas for a poolside cocktail party. This is a twist on its weekly welcome cocktail party, and guests will be treated to wellness recommendations and fun surprises, including a prize for the best outfit of the evening.
Estalitaa Pinto, Resident Fitness Instructor at The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort shares her sleep well tips, "Sleep connects directly with your mental well-being, so training your breath and maintaining a breathing pattern is really important. Meditation helps with that, to calm your mind and relax your body, allowing you to sleep well through the night."
To mark World Sleep Day, The Westin Mumbai Garden City is offering a staycation package with a buffet breakfast and special dining offers. At the hotel's Heavenly Spa by Westin™ guests can enjoy an immersion in a hot tub as a pre-bedtime ritual and sip a cup of Golden Milk, or warm milk infused with the restorative and antioxidant-rich powers of turmeric.
Passang Bhutia, Spa Therapist at The Westin Mumbai Garden City also shares tips on a pre-bedtime ritual, "Immersion in a hot tub for just 15 minutes about half an hour before bedtime can ease the aches and pains that can interfere with comfortable positioning for a restful sleep. The warm water elevates the body temperature, and the process of cooling down can ease the body into the deep sleep it needs."
The Westin Brisbane offers the Drift into Dreamland package, which includes two nights' accommodation in either a Club City View room or Renewal City View Suite, Westin Club exclusive privileges, complete with a nourishing breakfast and evening canapés. Signature Westin sleep-enhancing turndown amenities such as the Lavender Sleep Balm and a Sleep Well gift will ensure a soothing night's rest. Guests are also invited to surrender and reset with one indulgent 60-minute spa treatment at Australia's only Heavenly Spa by Westin™.
