Now through March, business travelers can look forward to rejuvenating morning wellness offerings from Tuesday through Thursday. Tuesdays begins with an invigorating guided run along Vancouver’s iconic seawall, offering fresh air and scenic harbor views to energize the day ahead. Wednesdays invite a slower start with Yoga, Stretching & Sound Meditation — a serene session blending mindful movement and calming soundscapes to restore balance. The week culminates on Thursday with a second guided run, perfect for guests looking to stay active and connect with Vancouver’s beautiful waterfront surroundings.

Following the success of Soothe & Savour, Candlelit Soundscapes & Supper will offer attendees an opportunity to reconnect with their sense of self through an immersive evening of calming sound meditation paired with nourishing coastal-inspired cuisine. Attendees can expect a restorative sound bath meditation by candlelight, followed by the opportunity to enjoy ARC Restaurant’s signature Province to Plate menu.

For those seeking a refreshing reset, Fairmont Waterfront is offering an invigorating Polar Plunge experience, re-launching this November and continuing into the new year. Led by the hotel’s very own CEO (Chill Experience Officer) Jodi Francks, participants will take a guided cold dip at Third Beach in Stanley Park before returning to the hotel for hot tea, warm towels, and a celebratory hot toddy, finished with the comforting dishes of ARC’s well-renowned bottomless brunch.

Beyond the twice weekly runs, year-round wellness offerings for ALL members will continue to include the opportunity to borrow complimentary fitness wear – including shoes – through the Fairmont Fit program, and use of the rooftop pool, open daily and heated throughout the year. Complimentary cruiser bikes continue to be available free of charge for ALL members, offering an easy and eco-friendly way to discover Stanley Park and the surrounding waterfront.

“Being steps from the ocean and Stanley Park inspires us to design experiences that reflect the calm, vitality, and natural beauty of Vancouver’s coast,” said Randall Williams, General Manager of Fairmont Waterfront. “This new chapter in wellness is our way of inviting guests and locals to embrace the season by the water, and to leave feeling restored by the very environment that surrounds us.”

With wellness woven into every detail, Fairmont Waterfront is establishing itself as a sanctuary for wellness-minded travelers year-round.

Among the wonders of the Mexican Caribbean, its islands stand out for being tropical oases where a great variety of activities and unforgettable landscapes envelop visitors in a unique experience. Each has a particular charm – Cozumel, for example, offers a wide range of adventure activities; Holbox dazzles travelers with spectacular sunsets; while Isla Mujeres captivates with its cheerful Caribbean atmosphere. Isla Mujeres is one of the smallest yet most visited islands in the region thanks to the popularity of Playa Norte. Snorkeling is the most recommended activity here; the colorful reefs as well as the submerged statues – part of a conservation project — make for an incredible view of marine life. To the south is the Garrafón Reef Natural Park, a place for travelers to discover the island’s natural wealth. Park activities include snorkeling, kayaking, zip-line and island tours, plus relaxation activities like a temazcal, panoramic pool, and lounge chairs. A few minutes further is the Manchones Reef, which hides one of the most significant monuments for the island: La Cruz de la Bahía, or the Cross of the Bay. This structure is made of bronze, measures about three meters high, and is 12 meters deep, making it a site of great interest for divers. Over the years, this island has been surrounded by stories that have formed a cultural lore, such as the story of La Trigueña, a woman originally from Isla Mujeres who was wooed by a highly recognized pirate in the area. It is said that when the pirate Mundaca met her, he fell in love and built a large hacienda to prove his love. The monument dedicated to La Trigueña can be found downtown, just steps from the sea. Holbox effuses a casual spirit and an atmosphere of serenity, where the days pass slowly, and each sunset is admired swimming on the quiet beaches of smooth waves. Viewing the sunset in one of the island’s laid-back beach clubs is a must, whether a bohemian spot like Maruva or a place of authentic Caribbean flavor like La Playa de Ñaña. Visitors shouldn’t skip time for nature on their itinerary in Holbox, with the island being home to natural phenomena like bioluminescence. This stunning spectacle is best appreciated at night during low moonlight on beaches further from central Holbox. One exciting way to experience this is Luminescence by Pandora Holbox, a multisensory experience that combines a gourmet dinner with an outdoor show reflecting the colors of bioluminescence.
