Love.Life, an integrated health and wellness offering, has opened its flagship holistic wellness club in Los Angeles.
The brand was co-founded by former Whole Foods CEO John Mackey and Walter Robb and Betsy Foster – also former execs of Whole Foods.
The trio believe in a new healthcare paradigm that empowers individuals to pro-actively improve their health by focusing on the root causes of chronic diseases and holistic solutions that optimise overall health and wellbeing.
Love.Life unites medical care, precision wellness therapies, nutrition and fitness under one roof.
“We think the new future of health is about highly personalised care that is focused on the mind, body and spirit,” said Mackey. “We want to transform the way
people experience healthcare and provide an alternative to a fragmented system that is primarily focused on managing symptoms instead of improving health.”

Future focus
Finn Partners' latest report indicates a uent Chinese women are redefining luxury travel with a focus on wellness and cultural enrichment
New research by global travel practice Finn Partners investigates the shifting travel habits of a uent Chinese female travellers and how wellness is influencing their travel choices.
The report, called China’s Women in Charge: Latest Trends among the World’s Largest Travel Spenders and Decision Makers, draws insights from a survey of 800 high-value Chinese women* and was conducted in collaboration with ILTM Asia Pacific.
According to the UNWTO, China reclaimed its position as the world’s top spender on international tourism in 2023, with female travellers accounting for almost 60 per cent of the country's outbound tourists.
Given their significant spending power and economic status, these high-net-worth Chinese women are poised to powerfully influence the future of luxury travel and wellness.
Shifting mindsets
Findings revealed a major shift where Chinese women are harnessing their expanding economic and social influence and using travel as a means of cultural immersion and personal growth.
The report identifies eight crucial factors shaping their travel motivations:
SHUTTERTSTOCK/ U__PHOTO
■ Travel represents empowerment to Chinese women
■ Fifty per cent of survey respondents expect to increase their spending on wellness
A uent Chinese women are willing to invest in premium accommodations, but seek more than just five-star ratings
1. Pursuit of wellness
While wellness has traditionally been associated with pampering, it now reflects a holistic approach that prioritises both physical and mental wellbeing. There is also a rising interest in adventurous activities as part of this trend. Wellness remains a major travel motivation, especially among older women, who are twice as likely as other age groups to invest in healthrelated luxury travel experiences. Wellness elements are also increasingly expected to be integrated into travel, rather than it being the primary focus of any journey.
2. Evolving definition of luxury Luxury is shifting from material possessions to experiences that bring personal fulfilment. For today’s travellers, luxury means enriching, rewarding experiences that o er joy, 'me time' and a sense of accomplishment.
3. Travel as enrichment
Travel is no longer just an escape from daily routines or obligations. Instead, it represents empowerment and transformation, particularly for a generation of Chinese women who are ready to embrace these changes.
4. A Preference for niche destinations
Nearly 90 per cent of high-value Chinese female travellers are drawn to niche destinations known for their natural beauty and landscapes.
5. Solo travel on the rise
Though family travel remains popular, there is a growing trend of solo travel among a uent Chinese women, regardless of marital or parental status. Solo travel is seen as a path to independence and self-empowerment.
6. Independent decision-making
With growing financial independence, Chinese women are making their own travel decisions. Their preferences hold
significant sway, even in family vacation planning, where their opinions outweigh those of their husbands or children.
7. Beyond star ratings
A uent Chinese women are willing to invest in premium accommodations, but value hotels that o er unique experiences. Notably, guest services such as personal shopping concierges (18 per cent), healthy dining options (25 per cent) and wellness programmes designed by experts (8.6 per cent) are comparatively lower-ranked. While these aspects are still important, they may now be seen as an expected component of their luxury hotel stays rather than a USP.
8. Technology as ultimate luxury
In a digitally-savvy country like China, convenience is paramount for high-value travellers. They seek seamless integration of technology to streamline travel planning, address logistical challenges and enhance their overall experience. ●

Sky-high healing
Four Seasons has unveiled a new sky-high spa in Osaka o ering treatments inspired by Japanese royalty
The newly opened Four Seasons Hotel Osaka marks the luxury operator’s fourth property in Japan and is home to an elevated urban spa retreat inspired by traditional Japanese wellness rituals and the restorative power of water. Encompassing the 36th floor of Four Seasons Hotel Osaka, the spa was conceived to o er a sky-high oasis of relaxation, indulgence and wellbeing. With soothing hues and
curving lines, each space flows into the next as guests immerse in the healing connection of water throughout.
Five spa treatment rooms – including a couple’s room with a private bath – all o er lofty city views.
Signature rituals include a 100-minute facial inspired by the legendary Empress Kōmyō, whose name signifies brightness and radiance; and a series of bathing experiences harnessing the healing properties of seasonal herbs. Treatments also incorporate rare
ethno-botanical ingredients including fermented rice, temple-blessed oils and local hot spring water, grounding the spa with a rich sense of place.
Along with a range of massages, facials and body treatments supplied by Hungarian skincare and spa brand Omorovicza and Swiss anti-ageing brand Nescens, busy guests can also choose from an express menu of 15- or 30-minute Quick Replenishers.
Additional wellness facilities include ofuro (Japanese baths that have been
an important part of daily life in Osaka for centuries), a sauna, a 24/7 gym and a pool with floor-to-ceiling city views.
Thoughtful details
Beyond wellness, the hotel's o ering includes a range of private event spaces and five F&B outlets.

A highlight at Four Seasons Hotel Osaka is its dedicated Gensui floor, a contemporary ryokan experience on the 28th floor complete with 21 guestrooms and suites. Ryokans are small Japanese inns dating back to the 8th century, and are still popular today, particularly in regions with onsen (hot springs).
The entire floor has been decorated by Simplicity as a contemporary interpretation of ryokan culture. ●
Defining the WELL UNIVERSE
The launch of Gharieni’s new touchless technology brand Metawell is perfectly aligned with the future direction of spa and wellness, says the company’s CEO, Sammy Gharieni
With 30 years’ experience as pioneers in spa and wellness technologies, Gharieni Group is now ready to embrace a new era of ‘touchless wellness’ technologies that promise to bring even greater benefits to spa and wellness clients.
This new direction was first signalled earlier in 2024 with the company’s announcement of its new ‘brand segment’ called Metawell – a division launched to exclusively advance Gharieni’s mind-body wellness technologies in the global marketplace.
Metawell is now one of three defined brands to sit under the umbrella of the Gharieni Group.
The group’s headquarters in Moers, Germany serves as the base for the Gharieni and Metawell
A big idea behind Metawell is to activate the application of our wellness technologies alongside industry partners
Sammy Gharieni
brands. Bentlon remains based in the Netherlands – a company the group recently acquired to appeal to a younger customer base serviced by smaller spa and salon operators with vibrant, contemporary brands.
Each brand has its own website, (also linked to the Gharieni Group’s main site) while all operational aspects will remain unchanged for the time being.
STRATEGIC BRAND VISION
Gharieni Group CEO, Sammy Gharieni says:
“A big idea behind Metawell was to help our clients clearly identify mind-body and wellness technologies in the Gharieni portfolio.
“In addition we plan to continue to collaborate with industry partners who we know will complement our new strategic brand vision”.
The group’s current collection of sensory wellness technologies includes experience beds, loungers and spa equipment that integrate sound, vibration, light and water, and there are many more exciting technology developments in the pipeline.

Innovation is creating immersive experiences

Metawell is the home of the company’s tech products, such as the MLX i³Dome
One of Metawell’s primary aims is to forge new agreements with other touchless wellness partners to create what Gharieni describes as a “hybrid spa and wellness ecosystem”.
One example of this is Metawell’s collaboration with French music conductor Jean-Marie Adrien to create the ‘Augmented Massage’. This treatment has been hailed as an evolution in massage therapy, uniting technology and human touch to deliver a unique and immersive experience for the client.
Metawell also intends to partner with owner-operators looking to install premium touchless wellness solutions in their facility. In this scenario, Metawell will either create a bespoke solution for the spa, or deliver one of its innovative ready-to-go concepts.
Gharieni says: “As Metawell is a newly-launched brand we’re currently in different conversations for projects in development, so watch his space.”
CLEARLY DEFINED OFFERS
Gharieni admits that ‘a lot of confusion’ had previously existed surrounding the distinction between the company’s newer experiential products and its regular treatment beds, such as massage, podiatry and spa beds. He says: “The rebrand helps our customers understand that Metawell is all about the use of technology in this new era of wellness.”
And Metawell is not merely just keeping up with current trends but – as Gharieni sees it – is mirroring major shifts in the delivery of health and wellness modalities.
“As a company, we’re aligned with the mega trends of hyper-personalisation, the dawn of immersive wellness experiences and the digitisation of products and services across our industry,” he explains.
Since the launch, Gharieni says Metawell has been well received by the company’s existing customer base, as it brings greater clarity to the concept of how touchless wellness can become more integrated into traditional spa and wellness spaces.
Gharieni, who is the embodiment of pioneering leadership, fresh ideas, trendsetting and market disruption, is clearly excited about what a tech-driven future will look like for the spa and wellness industries.
“The sector will continue to cross-pollinate from other industries in the experience economy,” he says. “We’ll also see a tremendous opportunity to deepen our industry thought leadership and create new opportunities for collaborations.
“We’re looking forward to this new era in wellness and to continuing the expansion of touchless technologies in the market, while being future-focused and packed with value for all stakeholders.” l More: www.gharienigroup.com

BC Softwear creates compostable and biodegradable spa slippers
BC Softwear has expanded its collection with the new Luxury Bio Slipper. The sustainable slipper has been designed with an Npulp straw sole to offer both compostability and recyclability without sacrificing the plush softness expected in high-end spa footwear.
The Npulp sole replaces traditional coir with a unique compressed straw material, created through an enzyme-based process that breaks down straw into pulp. This eco-friendly method eliminates the need for harsh
chemicals, significantly reducing water and energy consumption, and requires only three ingredients: straw, water and the digestion enzyme.
Barbara Cooke, BC SoftWear founder and CEO, highlighted the growing demand for sustainable spa slippers:
“Three years ago, we introduced a fully biodegradable coir-soled slipper made from natural coconut fibres, which was plastic-free and could be disposed of in a standard food waste bin. But, we were aware they weren’t as luxurious as the five-star spa community often requires, so we’ve

The new soles also provide enhanced anti-slip protection and water resistance – both key features for spa environments.

BC SoftWear’s SmartSoft range helps spas to meet ever growing sustainability requirements, without compromising on luxury
Luxuriously responsible
BC SoftWear’s SmartSoft range of eco-friendly towels and spa linens is an energy saving breakthrough for spas. The SmartSoft collection, which includes SupremeSoft robes and towels, uses 70 per cent less energy during washing compared to a traditional towel. The range also uses 10 per cent less water and dries 31 per cent faster. “Water consumption and drying times are vital energy considerations for spas that launder in house,” said BC SoftWear founder and CEO, Barbara Cooke. It’s not just energy saving benefits that the line o ers. “The number one USP of SmartSoft for our partners is that it o ers substantially reduced oil absorption – up to 65 per cent,” explains Cooke. “During treatments, the oils used can impregnate towels. Over time, this
can result in unpleasant odours and make the towels feel ‘greasy’. These towels also require more detergent and emulsifiers during washing to break down the absorbed oil and, if this isn't done properly, it can create a fire risk in the laundry. With SmartSoft, 65 per cent less oil is retained in the fabric of the towel, which significantly reduces this problem for spas.”
SmartKnit
Also part of the SmartSoft range, BC SoftWear’s SmartKnit towels are made using unique knitted technology, rather than traditional weave. This means they're snag-free, improving longevity and helping to keep them softer for longer. “The snag-free, knitted technology dramatically increases the life span of SmarkKnit towels,” says Cooke. “We've

Barbara Cooke
gone out of our way to ensure that the entire collection o ers the softness and luxurious feel we’re known for, as well as significant sustainability benefits. SupremeSoft, in particular, o ers exceptional luxury that’s eco-friendly.”
The SmartSoft collection is 100 per cent guaranteed for BC SoftWear’s sustainability and energy saving claims, verified by the independent reports from the Laundry and Technology Centre. SmartSoft is a responsible, sustainable option for busy spas managing a high turnover of clients. ● www.bcsoftwear.co.uk
