Men’s wellness is evolving. No longer just about hitting the gym there is a shift toward proactive longevity, hormonal balance, and mental clarity as research shows that evidence-based lifestyle changes - from targeted nutrition to stress management - are the ultimate defense against chronic, preventable diseases.

For the men who are always providing, building, and leading, it’s time for self care. At Glen Ivy Hot Springs, men are also celebrated and are invited to escape the noise, unplug from the grind, and log off. From restorative hydrotherapy to holistic reset, explore the sanctuary that is Glen Ivy, designed to recharge your mind, reset your body, and return at your peak.

☀️ Science check - sunlight can raise serotonin by up to 50%. Spending just 20 minutes in nature can lower stress hormones and lift mood (Harvard T.H. Chan / Frontiers in Psychology).

Summer is not just a season at a tropical wellness property, it is also a dose of biology. For wellness destinations development, daylight, warmth, and nature, should deliberately be designed into the guest day.

Sunlight is not mere backdrop, it should be intentional therapeutic programming.

"Wellness hospitality must evolve beyond transactional service toward transformation. Success is measured by whether a guest leaves feeling healthier, calmer, more connected and better equipped for everyday life."

That's the core of the first contribution to the Sojourn Conversations series — a conversation between Ana Carini Seiford and our Founder & CEO, Ingo Schweder, on what wellness in hospitality actually requires, and why the industry is only now catching up. With over four decades in hospitality and a hand in shaping some of the world's most renowned wellness projects, this conversation hits different — Ingo's own experience facing cancer reshaped how he sees hospitality's role, not as escape, but as care.

Japan’s Private Sauna Formats

Horwath HTL Health & Wellness has been observing the evolution of Japan's sauna facilities, where the sector is moving beyond the traditional sento and super-sento model toward private, high-specification formats.

At the premium end, members-only studios are offering dedicated "magma rooms" whose walls and heaters are lined with mineral-rich volcanic rock from Mount Fuji. Running at 65–70°C, the stones radiate natural far-infrared heat rather than warming the air aggressively, allowing guests to sit or lie comfortably for longer sessions while reportedly sweating more than in a conventional sauna. Suites typically pair the sauna with a cold plunge, hydrogen inhalation devices and professional-grade aesthetic machines designed for guided or self-service use.

Access is membership-led, with joining fees above JPY 100,000 and comparable annual subscriptions, positioned around beauty and health rather than athletic recovery.

Among the concepts observed, THE PROLABO SAUNA in Azabu-Jūban stands out. Opened in September 2022 by Esthe Pro Labo, a Japanese beauty and wellness company, the members-only club is positioned as a high-tech sauna, integrating Japan's bathing culture with recovery technology across private suites on 24-hour access.
The direction is clear: private suites, self-contained rituals, and technology packaged as a premium product rather than a shared facility.

🫙 The science of by Fivelements Retreats Bali

A Stanford study found 10 weeks of fermented foods (kimchi, kefir, miso, kombucha) increased gut microbial diversity AND lowered key inflammatory markers, more than a high-fiber diet alone.

Newer research links yogurt consumption to lower cardiovascular risk, and ties fermented foods to a stronger gut barrier and less systemic inflammation.

At Fivelements Retreats Bali, discover the art of fermentation, where time and flavour meet, now well-displayed at Sakti Dining Room. Every jar expresses the local harvest and uses only the freshest ingredients to create a breathing superfood. Beyond the taste, there’s a whole world of science supporting your gut health.
