PROMOTES‘TECHDETOX’The Spas at Mandarin Oriental Host Global Wellness Day Activations Connecting DigitalHealth to Overall Wellbeing

Hong Kong, 20 May 2024 – The Spas at Mandarin Oriental are proud to once again be an
active participant in Global Wellness Day (GWD), a wellness movement that has brought theworld together in a mission to inspire wellbeing.

On 8 June 2024, in honour of GWD, fansof the brand will be able to experience complimentary “Tech Detox Escapes” at Mandarin
Oriental locations around the world.
This years’ GWD theme, #MagentaNature, focuses on the profound connection between
humanity and the natural world, promoting a comprehensive approach to wellbeing. Thisconnection is the cornerstone of Mandarin Oriental’s spa and wellness philosophy and advocate
a “Tech Detox” as the first step in nurturing this bond. Notably, in today’s technology-chargedtimes, it is vital to find new ways to manage the relationship with digital tech and the stressthat comes with the always-connected lifestyle. As an antidote, the Group has created the-more-Page 2Digital Wellness Initiative, a global directive designed to support the growing health andwellbeing needs of our guests in the age of technology. This Initiative includes tech detox tips,
spa and physical therapy treatments to correct physical ailments brought on by a digital
lifestyle, and ‘tech alternative’ inspiration.
On Global Wellness Day, The Spas at Mandarin Oriental worldwide, will be opening theirdoors to their guests and fans with complimentary activities designed to help people disconnect
from technology and establish new rituals and routines around wellness. Activities being
offered include outdoor yoga classes, guided social runs, fitness and dance activities, andguided meditations. Guests will celebrate wellness by putting their devices aside andexperiencing new wellness activities that they can integrate into their daily lives.

“We find that most of the guests coming into our spas nowadays are struggling with theirrelationship with technology. On the one hand, we love our technology. But we struggle to findbalance with the pace of modern life and the stress of hyper productivity,” said Jeremy
McCarthy Group Director of Spa and Wellness. “We offer our spas and wellness centres asspaces where people can come to regain balance: to move their body, relax their mind, andreconnect with the people and values most important to them.”
Jeremy’s philosophy on wellbeing is inspired by his studies in psychology where he found thata lot of the benefits of a spa experience come from taking time for yourself in silence, awayfrom technology, and in the hands of a nurturing and compassionate healer.
Other Digital Wellness Initiative examples include:
Digital Wellness Escape: Concentrating on the head, eyes, neck shoulders, hands and feet,this restorative treatment aims to ease the stress and strain resulting from the frequent use ofdigital devices.
-more-Page 3Intelligent Movement: An innovative wellness program designed to bridge the gap between
The Spas and Fitness Centers. Intelligent Movement incorporates aromatherapy, therapeutic
massage, stretching and mobility exercises.
Digital Wellness Programme: This 5-hr invigorating half-day programme includes a Private
Yoga Session, mindfulness activities, Digital Wellness Escape spa treatment, dedicatedrelaxation time in heat & water facilities and a healthy, organic meal.
