Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) has expanded its Wellbeing Collection by adding seven independent properties across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, bringing the dedicated sub-brand to 21 hotels globally, eHotelier reported [1]. The expansion arrives one year after the brand's initial 2025 launch, curating retreats that embed physical, mental, and emotional health throughout the guest journey [1].
What hotels joined the Wellbeing Collection?
The seven newly added retreats represent distinct geographical environments ranging from alpine settings to tropical coastlines [1]. According to eHotelier, the new members include Dharana at Shillim in Pune, India; REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort in Nusa Dua, Bali; Zabola Estate in Transylvania; Sansara Surf & Yoga Resort on Panama’s Pacific coast; Skýra Retreat in Finland; Hotel Saltus in South Tyrol, Italy; and The Retreat Costa Rica, which sits atop a crystal-quartz mountain [1].

| Property | Location | Core Wellness & Operational Features |
|---|---|---|
| Dharana at Shillim | Pune, India | 99 villas, Ayurveda, metabolic diagnostics, earth-to-table dining across 3 outlets [1] |
| REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort | Nusa Dua, Bali | Functional fitness, hydrotherapy, mindfulness, Balinese healing rituals [1] |
| Zabola Estate | Transylvania | Woodland walks, horse riding, wildlife encounters [1] |
| Sansara Surf & Yoga Resort | Pacific Coast, Panama | Surfing, yoga, creative dining experiences [1] |

How does Dharana at Shillim integrate health programming into operations?
Dharana at Shillim in Pune, India, merges modern medical assessments with traditional healing modalities across a 99-villa estate [1]. The property sits within the UNESCO-listed Sahyadri Mountains, surrounded by protected forests, lakes, and hills [1]. Detailed assessments covering sleep, nutrition, movement, recovery, and metabolic health determine the guest's personalized programmes, as reported by eHotelier [1].

Food and beverage operations at Dharana follow an earth-to-table framework relying on the retreat’s on-site gardens and nearby farms [1]. Dining is split across three distinct concepts: Green Table supplies personalised wellness menus, Ojas provides local and international nourishing meals, and Vyoma delivers lighter, casual dining options [1].
What modalities define the other collection additions?
Each new property applies programming rooted in local geography and regional traditions rather than standard spa menus [1]. In Bali, REVĪVŌ Wellness Resort focuses on functional movement, hydrotherapy, and mindfulness alongside Balinese therapies [1]. In Finland, Skýra Retreat focuses on cold-water immersion, sauna sessions, and forest bathing [1]. In Italy's South Tyrol, Hotel Saltus operates a woodland Forest Spa alongside panoramic Sky Pools [1].

Transylvania’s Zabola Estate centres guest stays on estate wildlife encounters, horse riding, and forest walks [1]. On Panama's Pacific coastline, Sansara Surf & Yoga Resort pairs dedicated surf coaching with yoga sessions and creative dining [1]. In Costa Rica, The Retreat Costa Rica structures programming around crystal mountain hikes, sound healing, and nourishing food [1].
How do the additions fit alongside existing collection properties?
The seven newcomers join existing Wellbeing Collection members that emphasize regional culture and physical setting [1]. These established member properties include Acro Suites in Crete, which features cave-inspired architecture, breathwork, and Mediterranean cuisine [1]. In Hoi An, Namia River Retreat integrates Vietnamese duong sinh breathing techniques, riverside rituals, and herbal medicine [1].
Other established members include Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary, which builds stays around traditional Bhutanese Medicine and meditation, and Costa Rica's Rio Perdido, which combines thermal waters and open-air treatments with canyoning and forest trails, eHotelier reported [1].
