As World Sleep Day approaches on March 14, Westin Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott Bonvoy, reaffirms its commitment to the importance of quality sleep. Through its “Busy Resting” campaign, launched in January 2025, the brand emphasizes that sleep is not merely a luxury—it’s essential for our well-being. Across the Asia Pacific region (excluding China), Westin properties embrace this philosophy by providing spaces designed to encourage relaxation and rejuvenation. To mark the occasion, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort will host an exclusive sunset reception, offering a tranquil environment where guests can unwind and enjoy sleep-inspired canapés and beverages, all while admiring the breathtaking ocean views.
A Haven for Rest and Rejuvenation
Nestled in the serene Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort offers the ideal destination for those wishing to prioritize their well-being. The resort’s focus on sleep and relaxation creates an environment where guests can truly recharge. At the World Sleep Day event, guests will indulge in Sleep Well-inspired treats and take in the soothing atmosphere, reinforcing the message that relaxation is key to feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Among the standout offerings at the resort is the Sleep Infusion Turndown service, a unique feature that encourages guests to wind down at the end of each day. This service includes a selection of herbal teas, such as chamomile and lavender, both known for their calming properties. Furthermore, guests can participate in daily guided meditation and relaxation sessions, such as Yoga Nidra and Gyan Mudra. These practices specifically ease stress and promote deep, restorative sleep, helping guests feel truly relaxed and restored.
In addition to catering to adults, The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort recognizes the importance of providing relaxation opportunities for families. As a result, the resort partnered with Savvy Sleep to introduce “The Westin Maldives Kids Sleep Manual.” This program encourages children to establish positive bedtime rituals, with activities like beachfront storytelling, stargazing, and dream journaling. By helping children develop healthy sleep habits, the program ensures that families can make the most of their vacation without worrying about disrupted sleep.
Westin’s Commitment to Wellness and Sleep
As the demand for wellness and self-care continues to rise, Westin leads the way in promoting sleep as a crucial element of overall health. This commitment to wellness began with the introduction of the Heavenly Bed® in 1999, setting a new standard for sleep in the hospitality industry. Since its inception, Westin has consistently refined its wellness offerings, placing sleep at the core of its philosophy. The Sleep Well program, which features thoughtfully curated amenities like the Sleep Well Menu and Lavender Balm, underscores the brand’s commitment to helping guests achieve the restorative sleep they deserve.
At the core of the Sleep Well program lies the Heavenly Bed®, designed to promote deep, restorative sleep. Additionally, Westin offers the Sleep Well Menu, a selection of in-room dining options designed to support sleep quality. To further enhance the relaxation experience, guests receive Sleep Well Lavender Balm, infused with calming essential oils to create a peaceful environment conducive to unwinding.
With the growing trend of wellness-focused travel, Westin understands the importance of providing experiences that promote relaxation and well-being. John Toomey, Chief Commercial Officer for Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC), shared,
“Westin has been among hospitality’s global leaders in well-being, consistently empowering guests to enhance their routines while on the road through its six pillars from Eat Well to Sleep Well. World Sleep Day is a great reminder of how important it is for travelers to have restorative experiences. With the growing interest in sleep tourism and wellness travel, it’s the perfect time for us to reaffirm our commitment to our guests’ health by offering the tools and experiences they need for a good night’s sleep”
