Wellbeing is a lifelong journey. A path of small steps and big leaps guided by intuition, awareness, and practice. It’s an exploration of your inner self and your connection to the outside world. Often careful. Sometimes courageous. Always considered. Veya is here to support you along that path.
While everyone’s wellbeing journey is different, there are learnings and practices that universally help us find balance within our body, our mind, and our environment. Veya’s approach to wellbeing composes of a range of multidisciplinary modalities that have been distilled and clarified into 8 universal pathways toward being well – our 8 Pillars of Wellbeing.
Quality sleep is a critical but often elusive element of wellbeing. It is essential in helping your body repair and restoring mental energy for the day ahead. We designed your villa as the optimal environment to rest and restore. A selection of calming amenities, activities, and sleep workshops helps to further enhance your quality of rest.
From your cardiovascular system to your muscle strength, your body's vitality depends on a sustained and balanced fitness routine. Veya’s guided fitness activities are designed to align with your personal goals, with focus on cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and flexibility. Our fitness instructors are here to coach you in every move and help you discover new ways to stay flexible and fit.
As your lifestyle and body type impact your nutritional needs, it's important to be conscious of what you eat. What foods benefit your wellbeing, and which ones don't? Veya cuisine weaves Asian and Mediterranean culinary influences with plant-forward ingredients for optimal health. Our resident nutritionist is on-hand to recommend dishes that fit your dietary needs and preferences.
Like physical exercise, regular mindfulness practice makes your mind work better, and makes you feel better. It calms you, helps you stay grounded, and ultimately strengthens mental resilience. Choose from a series of mind-body movement or mindfulness workshops, and guided meditation sessions to help you unleash the power of your mind, whether you're an experienced meditator or just starting out.
Wellbeing is not always a solo journey. For those who wish to share their wellbeing experience with a friend or partner, we have activities designed to channel the power of social connection and improve your emotional wellbeing. Whether participating as a couple or a group, you'll create new memories and forge deeper bonds, and may even discover something new about each other.
One of travel's greatest joys is leaving a place with new insights and a fresh perspective on life. From Laughing Exercise to Compassion Mediation, interactive group activities to customised private sessions, Veya offers a wide range of wellbeing activities that encourage you to acquire new skills and never stop learning. The possibilities are yours to own.
When was the last time you completely immersed yourself in an unspoilt natural environment? Take advantage of Veya's verdant setting and rediscover nature's healing powers with our nature-based workshops and outdoor activities. Through beachside mediation and barefoot garden walks, we'll show you simple yet impactful ways of harnessing the power and science of nature to enhance your wellbeing.
Your wellbeing journey is best sustained with an understanding and practice of virtues such as compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness. During your stay, we'll teach you how sustained mindful practice and regular reflection can help chart a path towards a calmer mind, increased happiness, and deeper connectedness, which you can bring home and practise in your daily life, even after you have checked out.
