From sleep therapy to sound healing or a massage to restore circadian rhythms, here are some of our top recommendations to prioritize wellness for 2026.

INDONESIA

Mandapa Spa, Bali

The Mandapa Spa is an unmissable part of a stay at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve outside Ubud. Set on the banks of the Ayung River, this retreat emphasizes the power of natural healing. Treatments immerse spa-goers in Balinese wellness traditions, utilizing hyper-local herbs and oils to achieve chakra balance and deep relaxation. With personalized programs spanning yoga, nutrition, and mindfulness, Mandapa offers a truly restorative escape—a resonant harmony of body, mind, and the island’s ancient soul. The sleep therapy session comes highly recommended and the effects last for days.

The Rock Spa, Cempedak Private Island

Cempedak’s approach to wellness is, much like the island itself, a study in natural luxury and seclusion. More than a mere treatment room, the spa is an architectural sanctuary of sweeping bamboo nestled beneath the island’s ancient rainforest canopy. The only soundtrack is the gentle lapping of the South China Sea, ensuring immediate and complete unburdening of the mind. Gaze out onto the open waves as you indulge in a signature deep-tissue massage. Perfectly private, this is restoration at its most elemental.

Ayana Resort Bali - Thalassotherapy at AYANA Spa

Ayana Spa Bali

Perched on the dramatic cliffs of southern Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, the Ayana Spa is less a spa and more a wellness reserve within the expansive Ayana Resort. Home to Asia’s largest thalassotherapy pool, which harnesses the healing minerals of deep seawater, the spa uses a holistic blend of Ayurvedic, Balinese, and Japanese techniques for bespoke healing, delivering inner peace. The 50-minute Balinese massage is restful, but make the time to indulge in the 90-minute session that promises to relieve the knottiest of muscles.

Elegantly situated amid the lush tropical gardens and seven shimmering lagoon pools of The Laguna in Nusa Dua, The Lagoon Spa is a serene coastal escape. The spa perfectly fuses contemporary Balinese design with a welcoming tranquility. Along with treatments rooted in age-old healing rituals, consider sound healing, a transformative experience that begins with an assessment of the key chakras and ends with a feeling of complete peace. Villa guests can enjoy this in-room, too.

JAPAN

Fairmont Spa Tokyo

Fairmont Tokyo Spa & Wellness

Cocooned within the recently unveiled Fairmont Tokyo, this spa is an elegant study in contrasts: cutting-edge luxury meets the timeless tranquility of wa (Japanese harmony). The wellness facility seamlessly integrates serene treatment suites with onsen-inspired thermal facilities, all framed by panoramic city views. Its couples’ room has garden views, while the 20-meter infinity pool provides a perfect segue into a treatment or as a buffer to returning to reality. Signature therapies use Japanese ingredients and are elevated by advanced skincare technology. Inspired by the stillness of the sea, the 120-minute Signature Serenity Treatment is a must-try: it channels the energy of moonlit stones and pearl essences, blended into a nourishing oil from Mikimoto. Gentle lymphatic techniques combined with traditional Asian acupressure invigorate and balance both body and spirit.
