Westin® hotels & resorts make it easy to feel your very best.
For more vacationers than ever, making healthy choices is not a passing trend; it's an ongoing lifestyle. If you're passionate about priming your body and mind for optimal health, your vacation can be an enjoyable extension of that lifestyle, rather than an interruption of it. Westin Hotels & Resorts make it easy, with a host of renewing features and 100% smoke-free environments. Use the tips below to help you feel your very best.
SLEEP WELL
Rest easy in the Westin Heavenly® Bed
Your first step for feeling like a better you — both during and after your vacation — is to get plenty of restorative sleep. Enter the dreamy Heavenly Bed. Because good sleep is critical to both mental and physical health, Westin Hotels & Resorts have designed every detail to promote superior slumber. So the more active your day's adventures in your destination, the more divine your crisp, white, 250-thread count sheets, sumptuous pillow-top mattress, billowy down blankets, and five plush pillows will make you feel. You'll never want to get out of bed, and that's okay! Sleep in as long as you want; this is your vacation, after all.
EAT WELL
Opt for healthy choices at restaurants
Good food is another essential ingredient to maintaining your healthy lifestyle on vacation. Eating out every meal need not be a pitfall, when you select menu items that nourish you from the inside out. At Westin Hotels & Resorts, you can fuel your body with delicious items from the Westin Eat Well Menu, packed with nutrients and energy. Handcrafted by our chef with guests’ well-being in mind, the Westin Eat Well Menu includes a selection of nutritious dishes. From flexible portion sizes to mindfully selected ingredients, these options offer a variety of healthier choices to help you eat well — for you. And if you’re staying in a villa, you can whip up your own fruit smoothie or healthy stir-fry meal anytime.
MOVE WELL
Don't skip your workouts
The body craves consistency. To feel your best for each memorable vacation moment, have fun working out in your new setting. You can elevate your energy level on the treadmill, tone up with strength machines or grab a mat to stretch and let go of stress. The world-class WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studios feature the finest exercise equipment for all levels of performance. And extended hours let you energize or de-stress day or night. Want scenic exercise in the fresh air? The RunWESTIN™ program provides you with local maps for three- and five-mile routes through your beautiful vacation destination. And the Westin gear lending program lets you pack light while staying fit. For just $5.00 USD or local equivalent, you can borrow perfectly sized New Balance® shoes (with brand-new socks that are yours to keep) and sporty clothing to use during your visit.

FEEL WELL
Treat yourself to a spa experience
Relax, you're on vacation! You'll sense a spirit of renewal from the moment you enter a Westin lobby. With signature touches from mood-lifting botanicals and the soothing scent of White Tea to atmospheric lighting and music, tranquility infuses your surroundings. The pampering continues in your villa with the revitalizing Heavenly® Bath. White Tea Aloe bath amenities, extra-large combed cotton bath sheets and custom-designed bathrobes entice you out of bed, while a revitalizing rain shower gives you extra room to start your day feeling invigorated. Vacation may also be your best (if not only) time to be completely cared for. And nothing helps get you back to your best self like an uplifting treatment at the Heavenly Spa by Westin®. Unwind in a world of serenity and rejuvenation. The Heavenly Spa menu includes soothing paraffin hand and foot treatments, fragrant oil massages, radiant facials and more. And professionally trained therapists help you relax and recharge, to make the most of your valuable vacation downtime.
