TUI Blue puts holistic wellness at the centre of Asian escapes - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

TUI Blue is expanding its focus on wellness travel in Asia, highlighting two hotels in Bali and Cambodia where wellbeing activities are integrated throughout the guest experience rather than offered solely through traditional spa treatments. TUI Blue Berawa in Bali and TUI Blue Angkor Grace in Siem Reap combine movement, relaxation, nutrition and locally influenced rituals with conventional leisure holidays.

The concept is based on four wellbeing pillars – Feel, Move, Nourish and Rest. Activities range from yoga and sound healing to recovery facilities, mindful rituals and healthy dining. Guests can choose individual elements without having to book a dedicated wellness retreat, making the programmes accessible to travellers who want to incorporate wellbeing into a broader holiday.

“As wellness continues to evolve from a niche trend into an increasingly important part of travel, TUI Blue Berawa and TUI Blue Angkor Grace demonstrate how meaningful wellbeing experiences can be effortlessly incorporated into a holiday,” says Ian Hill, Head of Product TUI Blue. The two properties are being positioned particularly for European travellers looking for tropical alternatives during the autumn and winter months.

Bali combines movement and recovery

At TUI Blue Berawa, the programme draws on Bali’s established reputation as an international wellness destination. The hotel structures its experiences around the themes Stay, Play, Connect and Reset, combining individual relaxation with physical activity and social elements.

One of its regular experiences is the weekly Sundown Ritual. At sunset, guests write down thoughts or worries they want to leave behind before symbolically releasing them as part of a shared ceremony. Sunrise and sunset yoga sessions provide another way of incorporating wellbeing activities into the rhythm of a conventional resort stay.

The hotel also operates a Social Wellness Zone alongside its padel facilities. A sauna and ice plunge allow guests to combine sport with recovery while retaining the social character of the resort. The approach reflects TUI Blue’s aim of moving wellness beyond isolated treatment rooms and integrating it into different parts of the holiday experience.

Cambodian traditions shape Siem Reap stay

TUI Blue Angkor Grace in Siem Reap follows a similar philosophy while incorporating elements inspired by Cambodian traditions. Its programme includes yoga, sound healing and traditional wellness practices alongside dedicated relaxation and recovery areas.

Guests can select activities according to their own interests and pace rather than following a fixed retreat schedule. Wellbeing specialists are available to help identify suitable experiences, while nourishing cuisine and spaces designed for relaxation complement the organised sessions.

The location also allows wellness to form part of a wider Cambodia holiday. Siem Reap is the principal gateway to the temples of Angkor, giving travellers the opportunity to combine cultural exploration with periods of rest and recovery at the hotel.

Both properties illustrate a broader shift in the way TUI Blue is approaching the segment. Wellness is treated as one component of the overall stay, alongside food, activities, destination experiences and social interaction, rather than as a separate product reserved for specialist travellers.

The hotel brand is already examining additional destinations and wellness experiences. Further wellbeing-focused elements are planned for TUI Blue properties in other parts of the world, extending a concept that seeks to make wellness a more regular part of leisure travel.
