Bandung, 16 May 2026 - The Gaia Hotel Bandung proudly presents the return of its signature wellness initiative, Active Wellness Retreat 2026 (AWR 2026), taking place from 14–16 May 2026. Entering its third consecutive year, the retreat continues to grow as a thoughtfully curated family wellness experience that combines physical fitness, nutrition, sleep & rest, and meaningful social connection within the tranquil setting of Bandung’s highlands with its fresh mountain air.
Inspired by The Gaia Hotel Bandung’s Active/Rest philosophy, Active Wellness Retreat was created to encourage individuals and families to rest, recover, reconnect, and re-create healthier lifestyles together. Over the past two years, the retreat focused more on agility, strength, and wellness for a mature audience. In its third year, Active Wellness Retreat evolves with a new perspective through the theme Wellness Begins at Home, highlighting the importance of introducing healthy habits from an early age and building sustainable wellness routines together as a family. From developing healthier eating habits, encouraging active lifestyles, prioritizing quality rest, to creating meaningful family connections, the retreat aims to inspire families to grow together through everyday wellness practices that naturally become part of daily life.
This year’s retreat offers a comprehensive three-day itinerary featuring wellness seminars with speakers such as Emilia Achmadi (Clinical Dietitian), Pritta Tyas (Family Psychologist), Vishal Dasani (Certified Sleep Coach), and Mia Fitri (Certified Health Coach), alongside movement sessions, workshops, consultations, enrichment activities, and children’s programs designed to support holistic well-being for every family member.
The retreat opens on 14 May 2026 with registration and body composition analysis, followed by a welcoming session and a panel discussion introducing the lineup of wellness experts and speakers. Throughout the day, participants are invited to engage in educational and interactive sessions focused on family wellness, relationships, mindfulness, and emotional connection. Evening programs include adult and children’s unwinding sessions designed to help participants slow down and reset both physically and mentally.
On the second day, participants experience a full-day wellness immersion beginning with morning exercise sessions for both adults and children. The program continues with wellness talks, breakout workshops, and family-focused seminars led by experts in nutrition, sleep, movement, and healthy family systems. Guests also take part in fun family enrichment activities including cooking workshops and creative hands-on sessions such as woodworking, designed to encourage collaboration, creativity, and quality bonding time between parents and children.
To further support personal well-being, the retreat also provides exclusive consultation sessions and rejuvenation experiences at Sepik Spa, offering participants an opportunity to recharge through restorative treatments and personalized guidance.
The final day of Active Wellness Retreat 2026 concludes with a morning family exercise and games session, followed by picnic breakfast at Gaia's iconic rooftop and a closing gathering that celebrates the shared journey experienced throughout the retreat. Participants leave with practical wellness insights, renewed energy, and meaningful memories created together as a family.
Since its first edition, Active Wellness Retreat has become one of The Gaia Hotel Bandung’s signature annual programs, reflecting the hotel’s commitment to creating purposeful hospitality experiences that go beyond traditional stays. Through the integration of wellness, family connection, creativity, and restorative experiences, the retreat continues to position The Gaia Hotel Bandung as a lifestyle destination where wellness becomes a shared and sustainable journey.
