Every year on the second Saturday of June, participants around the world celebrate Global Wellness Day and its mission: “One day can change your whole life.” For the third consecutive year, Shangri-La and sister brand properties around the world will encourage colleagues, guests, and members of the communities to embrace healthy lifestyles on Global Wellness Day.

“Travel is not only a discovery of the world around us, but it can also lead to an exploration within oneself to find moments of happiness, exhilaration, contentment or serenity,” says Todd Hewitt, Assistant Vice President, Spa, Operational Performance at Shangri-La Group. “With Shangri-La’s participation in Global Wellness Day, we hope this helps guests and colleagues not only find their #ParadiseWithin, but also foster a greater sense of place and connection to our incredible destinations.”
