Health is a state of mind and wellness is a state of being. With plenty of wellness retreats to visit, guests don’t necessarily have to sign up for a week or two weeks of detoxing to find your zen.
The Mövenpick Hotel Colombo launched a unique wellness program this week, which will take place daily at the Wellness Centre on the 23rd floor, taking measures to expand their fitness offerings and paying more attention to meditative, full-body-and-mind classes like yoga.
