New Wave of Wellness: The Latest Self-Care Essentials

The most talked‑about wellness essentials, designed to help you feel calmer, stronger and more deeply restored

MIRROR RITUALS

ROMI’s Lip Treat Cream Liner treats your lip routine like a wellness ritual, blending liner, lipstick, and treatment into one calming, skin‑first essential. Cushy and hydrating, its hyaluronic acid, snow mushroom, peptide, ceramide and camellia oil blend cocoons lips in moisture, turning everyday application into a small act of self‑soothing. Available in three easy, mood‑lifting shades — Le Snob, IT Girl and Anti‑Heroine — it’s made to glide, blur, and layer, keeping your “self‑love as first love” routine intuitive, comforting and delightfully low‑maintenance.

TRAILBLAZING SOUND

Devialet’s Mania Exclusive Edition channels the rituals of modern wellness into a portable 360-degree speaker, wrapping its sculptural form in soothing, nature‑driven hues of Moss Green, Rose Bloom and White Mist. Engineered as a kind of sound therapy for the modern explorer, Mania’s proprietary Active Stereo Calibration (ASC) and Speaker Active Matching (SAM®) technologies create enveloping, meditative soundscapes wherever you roam, while up to 10 hours of battery life, IPX4 splash resistance and a Cocoon carrying case with utility strap keep your daily listening rituals flowing from studio to seafront and everywhere in between.

CULTURAL RENEWAL IN HOA LU

Jiva Hoa Lu Retreat frames Vietnam’s festive season as a restorative immersion in living heritage, inviting guests to slow down amidst tranquil landscapes. From 27 August to 27 September, its September festive programme blends mindful, hands-on craft — from dópaper art and folk printmaking to fragrant agarwood preparation — with nourishing regional cuisine, traditional music and communal rituals. Lantern workshops and a Mid-Autumn celebration create space for connection, creativity and cultural renewal.

HEADSPACE RITUALS

RENPHO’s Eyeris Masc Eye & Head Massager turns screen‑tired evenings into a full‑coverage decompression ritual, cocooning eyes, temples and the back of the head in gentle compression, heat and vibration for deeper relief. With three tailored massage modes, adjustable pressure levels and a built‑in eye heat pad, it’s designed to ease headaches, soothe fatigued eyes and soften neck and shoulder tension. Bluetooth connectivity adds an immersive soundscape to the experience, letting you slip out of noise and into calm as your favourite playlist syncs with your wind‑down routine.

MALLORCAN WELLNESS IN MOTION

La Reserva Rotana channels Mallorca’s rural calm into a slow-luxury wellness escape, where movement, mindful rest and nourishing food are woven into the rhythm of a restored 17th-century finca. Days begin with golf among vineyards, followed by tennis, cycling or restorative walks through the estate’s protected natural surroundings. Chef Andreu Genestra’s seasonal, kilometrezero cuisine celebrates the island’s produce, inviting guests to reset through nature, activity and the pleasure of living well.
