How Spa Suites Became One Of The Best-Kept Secrets In Wellness

The Spa VIP Double Suite at the Mandarin Oriental Taipei. GEORGE APOSTOLIDIS Step off the humming streets of Taipei, through the glass doors of the Mandarin Oriental, and the city's energy fades behind thick stone walls. Here you'll find a place that's quietly rewriting the rules of luxury wellness: the spa suite. In this sanctuary of stillness, the air is scented with lavender and lemongrass. A vitality pool glows with underwater lighting beside a private steam shower. "Our VIP spa suites are perfect if you're looking for relaxation, indulgence, and complete well-being," says Luanne Li, a spokeswoman for the Mandarin Oriental Taipei. "It's ideal for special moments, like bridal showers or anniversaries." The indulgence comes at a price. But even at $140 per person for just one hour in this marble-clad haven, the demand has been brisk. What's a spa suite? This isn't just a treatment room. It's a spa suite — a private wellness sanctuary embedded within a larger spa facility. "Think of it as a spa within a spa," explains Federico Checo, CEO of Prestige Wellness Group. "The trend is growing as luxury hotels compete to surpass each other's amenities. VIP guests want privacy and exclusivity. They do not want to share the water in a cold plunge or space in a steam room." From Taipei to Tulum, spa suites are quietly becoming one of hospitality's hottest – yet surprisingly under-the-radar – wellness trends. Driven by post-pandemic demands for hyper-personalization and uninterrupted relaxation, hotels are converting existing spaces or designing new facilities specifically for these ultra-exclusive enclaves. "They're a status symbol," notes OvationNetwork travel advisor Eli Vinitsky. "Much like a penthouse suite or private jet, a spa suite signals exclusivity." Whether it's the newly constructed Conrad Orlando at Evermore, which builds wellness directly into guest rooms, or the historic Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn renovating to add lavish spa cabanas, it's clear that the future of luxury wellness is intimate, controlled — and exclusive. A room at the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, where room rates start at $1,000 a night — yoga instructor not included. Four Seasons The Wellness Floor: Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills Forget a single suite. Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills has transformed an entire floor into private spa suites. The hotel's Well Rooms & Suites program now encompasses the entire fourth floor – 13 rooms and suites. "Guests can personalize their wellness journey," explains Hanna Frankel, a resort spokeswoman. Think circadian rhythm lighting, Peloton bikes, Alo yoga kits, and air purifiers as standard. The hotel has also added new amenities that are a tech-lover's wellness dream. They include special mats for mind-body restoration and customized boots for leg compression. Cost: Room rates start around $1,000 a night. Ideal for: Discerning Angelenos, wellness tech enthusiasts, and business travelers refusing to break their routine. Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa's spa suite. Fairmont Wine Country's romantic wellness hideaway: Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa offers two spa-centric experiences. Its signature Mission Spa Suites (30 available) have oversized Jacuzzi tubs for two, four-poster king beds, and wood-burning fireplaces – vintage Wine Country accommodations. Then there are secluded spa cabanas clustered around steaming mineral pools fed by the property's geothermal springs. "Demand for these suites is always quite high," notes Michelle Heston, a hotel spokeswoman. Cost: Mission Spa Suites start at $700 per night. Ideal for: Couples celebrating milestones like anniversaries and proposals, and those seeking authentic thermal spring immersion. Longfellow Hotel's Astraea spa suite. Longfellow Hotel New England's sauna sanctuary: Portland's Longfellow Hotel Spa suites aren't just for sun-drenched resorts. Portland's boutique Longfellow offers a decidedly Nordic twist. The Astraea spa features two private infrared sauna suites. "They're inspired by ancient traditions of cycling through heat, cold, and relaxation," explains Hannah Redfield, a hotel spokeswoman. Each suite includes a lounge area, state-of-the-art infrared sauna, rain shower, and tea station. Starting at $100 for a 60-minute private session accommodating up to six, it's remarkably accessible. Cost: $100+ per session. Ideal for: Guests looking for wellness, groups of friends, cold-weather rejuvenation seekers. Dawn Ranch's spa cottages feature outdoor redwood Japanese-style soaking tubs. Dawn Ranch Sonoma's Spa cottage escape: Dawn Ranch, Guerneville, Calif. Dawn Ranch combines rustic charm with wellness in its two new spa cottages. Positioned behind the main spa, these one-bedroom suites feature outdoor redwood Japanese-style soaking tubs, private patios with fire pits, double-sided fireplaces, and wet bars. "They're designed to cater to individual guests, couples and groups," says resort general manager Teach Mayer. There's yoga and access to forest bathing outside, and the full spa and the full spa enhances the stay. Cost: Varies seasonally, typically starting around $500 a night. Ideal for: Small groups, couples looking for a rustic-chic wellness weekend, nature immersion lovers. A spa suite at SB Winemaker's House & Spa Suites in Mendoza, Argentina. SB Winemaker Mendoza's vinotherapy vision: SB Winemaker's House & Spa Suites, Argentina South America's first wine-themed spa suites offer an elemental immersion. Seven spacious suites feature private in-suite spas with sculptural, egg-shaped concrete soaking tubs (nodding to wine fermentation vessels), steam rooms, sensation showers, and massage tables. Four include dry saunas. Outdoor terraces offer heated loungers and fire pits. "Wellness concierges curate every aspect, from customized aromatherapy blends to meditative vineyard walks," says hotel spokeswoman Kenzie Johnston. Cost: From $787 a night. Ideal for: Wine connoisseurs, design aficionados, guests looking for a deeply thematic and holistic wellness immersion. Halekulani's Vibroacoustic bed. Brandon Barré Photography Hawaii's sensory suite innovation: SpaHalekulani, Honolulu Halekulani's recent renovation birthed three distinct suite-style sanctuaries within its iconic Waikiki spa. The Nahe Wai suite (ADA-compliant) features a new Welnamis Vibroacoustic Table for brainwave-guided relaxation or focus. Uahi Wai offers a personalized steam chamber and noise-blanketing massage table. And Pu'uwai is designed for couples, complete with a Japanese deep soaking tub. There's no extra fee to rent these suites; access comes with booking treatments within them, followed by private cabana time. Cost: A 50-minute massage costs around $250. Ideal for: Waikiki visitors who want cutting-edge wellness tech, couples and anyone valuing seamless treatment privacy. A Wellness Room at the Conrad Orlando at Evermore. Greg Ceo Florida's sleep science suite: Conrad Orlando at Evermore Conrad Orlando at Evermore takes the spa suites concept to the next level with four dedicated Wellness Rooms. "Our guest is looking for easily accessible wellness-centered activities," says Lindsay Neeley, the resort's director of spa, wellness, and retail. Key features target optimized sleep (Bryte Smart Mattresses, Nollapelli sheets, Sleep Number pillows) and recovery (TechnoGym fitness kits, Normatec legs, Hypervolt massager). Unique access to the spa's private outdoor garden from the patio adds to the wellness appeal. Cost: From $639 a night. Ideal for: Performance-focused travelers, sleep-deprived parents, fitness enthusiasts. The Lyari Suite at Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa. Marriott Mexico's romantic ritual retreat: Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa Home to Puerto Vallarta's largest spa (Ohtli), the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa offers the Lyari Suite. Designed for couples, it features a Jacuzzi, dual massage beds, and double showers. It's frequently booked as part of the "Dream Couple" package, which includes a 90-minute massage, Jacuzzi with bath salts and aromatherapy, plus wine and strawberries. "It's increasingly popular for anniversaries, honeymoons and babymoons," notes Mariana Carmona, the marketing manager at Marriott Puerto Vallarta. Cost: The "Dream Couple" package starts at $363 a night. Ideal for: Romantic getaways, honeymooners, celebration splurges. Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla's Spa Suites. Ione Green Productions Yucatán's modern oasis: Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla leans into contemporary wellness with its dedicated Spa Suites. "Guests are looking for immersive, private wellness experiences" says Spa Manager Ricardo Gutierrez. Its suites provide privacy for treatments and rituals, brunch, or sunset packages. "They provide an intimate setting that feels safe and tailored," Gutierrez adds, highlighting the post-pandemic desire for control and disconnection. Cost: Spa suite experiences start around $100 a night. Ideal for: Modern travelers seeking customizable, accessible luxury, couples and solo retreaters valuing privacy. Spa suites aren't just about luxury fluff. As Steve Nixon, a frequent suite user, puts it: "Most people think spa suites are about luxury. They are really about control. You do not have to wait in a robe outside a hallway. You do not have to listen to someone else's playlist. You set the pace." There's also a group travel angle. Ela Urbanowitz, the spa manager at Kilkea Castle, says her resort, a renovated Irish castle, has seen strong interest from groups in the "spa within a spa" concept. "It's everything from weddings, anniveries, and birthdays to women who love horseback," she says. So, next time you book a luxury hotel, you might want to skip the standard spa treatment and ask about the spa suite. Be prepared for a higher price tag – and book far in advance. These private sanctuaries represent the latest in wellness travel. Just don't be surprised if you never leave your room.

Sandvik Mining achieves cybersecurity certification for product development processes

Sandvik Mining has been awarded IEC 62443-4-1 certification at Maturity Level 2, signifying a robust integration of cybersecurity measures into its product design and development. Achieving Maturity Level 2 certification indicates that Sandvik proactively incorporates cybersecurity into its product design, development, testing and maintenance procedures. The IEC 62443-4-1 standard is a globally recognised benchmark for secure product development within industrial automation and control systems. It ensures that products are crafted with cybersecurity considerations from inception, mitigating risks such as cyberattacks and data breaches throughout their life cycle. Sandvik's "secure-by-design" philosophy embeds stringent security protocols early in the equipment and digital solutions design process, inherently reducing vulnerability to cyber threats. This approach prioritises the protection of mining operations without impeding productivity. Sandvik's clientele can benefit from structured and prompt responses to emerging cyber threats, maintaining the security of their equipment throughout its operational life. Sandvik Mining president of digital mining technologies Riku Pulli said: 'We are proud to be among the first in our sector to attain IEC 62443 certification. 'This certification reduces cyber risk and operational disruption, enhances safety and regulatory compliance, strengthens supply chain resilience and provides security assurance for our customers. It emphasises our commitment to cybersecurity and is a signal of trust and readiness in an increasingly connected and threat-prone industrial environment.' The certification encompasses processes for patch management, vulnerability handling and security updates. This achievement positions Sandvik favourably in anticipation of upcoming cybersecurity regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, which will mandate manufacturers to ensure cybersecurity across a product's life cycle. Sandvik is progressing towards additional certifications to further substantiate the security of its equipment and software solutions, reinforcing customer confidence in deploying Sandvik technologies. Moreover, Sandvik Mining has introduced its AutoMine Surface Fleet solution, a system aimed at revolutionising autonomous drill rig operations. The system is engineered to manage more than 15 Sandvik surface i-series drill rigs, enabling remote operations from any connected location, thereby enhancing flexibility and minimising downtime, especially during shift changes.
