Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has launched a global sleep retreat collection designed to promote rest through sleep-inducing treatments, movement-driven activities and special amenities.

Taking a holistic approach to sleep, the Alchemy of Sleep retreats address a variety of practices to ensure each guest finds skills to incorporate into their everyday lives and improve their rest.

The programmes include a mix of treatments, consultations and classes focused on sleep, nutrition, movement, aromatherapy and mindfulness.

In keeping with Rosewood’s A Sense of Place philosophy, wherein the identity and offerings of each property are inspired by its destination, the Alchemy of Sleep retreats each have a unique twist to reflect and embrace local wellness customs and natural surroundings.

Guests can opt for a one-night Dreamscape or extend from two to five nights for a Sleep Transformation.

“Taking time for true rest and reset is essential for ensuring good health at every level,” said Emmanuel Arroyo, regional director of wellness at Rosewood.

“We designed our Alchemy of Sleep experiences to provide guests with the tools they need for slowing down and establishing lasting sleep hygiene habits, which will have a greater impact on their overall wellbeing.”

The retreats are available at 20 Rosewood properties around the world from January till the end of March 2022 (see the end of article for all properties).
