The Gaia Hotel Bandung once again reaffirmed its position as a pioneer in wellness hospitality with the successful hosting of its signature event, the Active Wellness Retreat 2025, held on 22–24 May. This three-day, two-night retreat welcomed health-conscious individuals from all walks of life who shared one common goal: to invest in their long-term well-being.
Held under the inspiring theme “For a Long Healthy Life,” this year's retreat offered a fully immersive experience combining science-backed learning, physical activities, and restful moments—all delivered with The Gaia Hotel’s signature touch of thoughtful hospitality. The program, designed to reflect the hotel's unique Active/Rest philosophy, featured an impressive lineup of 12 wellness experts who guided participants through the foundations of health as it evolves with age.
One of the highlights was the body composition test by LIF, a wellness platform known for supporting employee health across Indonesia. This provided guests with a clear snapshot of their physical condition, serving as a foundation for the personalized coaching and activities that followed. Nutrition played an integral role throughout the retreat. Every meal and snack was designed by Clinical Dietitian and Sports Nutritionist Emilia E. Achmadi, MS., RDN, offering guests nourishing dishes that were not only balanced and portioned but also deliciously satisfying.
Participants engaged in a dynamic schedule that combined interactive seminars, movement-based workshops, and relaxation sessions. Experts such as Mia Fitri, a Certified Health Coach, Pasha Yudadibrata, a specialist in Applied Health and Human Performance, and Vishal Dasani, a Certified Sleep Recovery Coach, offered invaluable insights into topics like stress management, sleep health, metabolic function, and sustainable fitness.
Touching on sleep health, we personally found the personal coaching session incredibly helpful. Especially in today’s fast-paced world, it’s so easy to overlook the importance of sleep. The one-on-one session with Vishal Dasani opened up new perspectives on sleep-related issues. On top of that, the Unplug session before bedtime gave us practical insights on how to help the body wind down and fall asleep more easily. It was truly an eye-opening and beneficial experience.
Recurring participants of this inspiring retreat have the opportunity to track their progress over time. For example, since we also joined the Active Wellness Retreat last year, we were able to compare our InBody Test results. This became a valuable way to reflect on how our lifestyle has changed over the past year. Seeing the improvement in our scores brought a sense of satisfaction and definitely boosted our motivation to continue living a healthier life!
Beyond the walls of the hotel, guests were invited to reconnect with nature through a field trip to a local organic farm, an experience that allowed them to slow down and savor the tranquility of their surroundings. Complementing this were enrichment activities designed to stimulate both mind and body—creating a seamless rhythm of activity and rest throughout the retreat.
Adding value beyond the event itself, each participant also received a complimentary one-month access to the LIF Health App, enabling them to continue tracking their physical progress and stay motivated after the retreat.
With rates starting from IDR 4.880.000 per person for double occupancy, the retreat included full-board accommodation and an expertly curated wellness program. More than just a getaway, the Active Wellness Retreat 2025 proved to be a transformational journey—one that strengthened The Gaia Hotel Bandung’s reputation as a sanctuary for holistic health, where guests are invited not only to rest but to actively invest in their lifelong well-being.
