Multi-Generational Wellbeing and Mental Health

This World Mental Health Month, we invite families to reflect on and nurture mental wellbeing together. At JOALI BEING, loved ones of all ages can come together for experiences designed to cultivate joy, boost brain health, and foster inner peace and emotional stability.

 

Improved mental health is especially helpful for our young guests, helping them navigate the unique challenges of growing up in today’s world. By learning these skills at an early age, kids and teens can cope in healthy ways with issues like peer pressure and digital overload.

 

A multi-generational holiday at our vibrant wellbeing island offers an ideal opportunity for guests of all ages to focus on mental wellbeing — both individually and collectively. Find the space you need to reconnect, away from daily routines and distractions. Activities focused on relaxation, mindfulness and open communication create a safe, nurturing environment for deeper interactions amongst family members. Many of our guests also use their time at JOALI BEING to take a break from technology, allowing them to be more present in each moment.

The Mind Pillar


The Mind is one of the Four Pillars of JOALI BEING, our unique approach to holistic wellbeing. Responsible for thinking, feeling and making choices, the Mind governs our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing.


By nurturing the Mind, you can enhance how you express yourself, handle stress and relate to others. You can also build trust in your intuition, which elevates the spirit and facilitates a closer connection with your Higher Self.

Our therapies within the Mind Pillar include:

  • Watsu. Drift into transcendence. Floating in warm water, combined with gentle movements, creates a true sense of weightlessness for the Mind.
  • Hammam. Embrace inner calm. Experience timeless cleansing traditions, passed down through centuries.
  • Sound Healing. Tune in to healing vibrations. Our customised sound journeys restore emotional balance and instil harmony.
  • Mind Therapy. Discover a profound mind-body relaxation. This signature JOALI BEING massage uses traditional warm oils to target reflexology points.

 

Top 5 Picks for Multi-Generational Holidays
Discover some of our favourite multi-generational activities for wellbeing and mental health.

  1. Fitness & Mindfulness. Physical exercise is a natural mood-booster. When we exercise, our bodies release feel-good endorphins that make us happier. Immerse in the joys of fitness together: get moving with Zumba, morning runs and beach workouts. You can also slow down and practice mindfulness with family yoga, Qi Gong and meditation. Even talking a leisurely walk on the beach allows the healing therapies of the ocean to work their magic.
  2. Culinary Learning Centre. Our cooking classes and workshops not only build more intentional eating habits but also provide another opportunity for multi-generational bonding. Get inspired with interactive sessions on nutrition and learn to make mindful “nice cream”, healthy muffins and more. Rediscover the simple pleasure of cooking and eating together. Use your new learnings to enrich family meals back home.
  3. Nature Immersions. Science has now proven what our ancestors instinctively knew: that spending time in nature makes us happier, reduces stress, and fosters feelings of contentment. At JOALI BEING, guests across generations can nourish their mental wellbeing in nature’s embrace. Swim, snorkel and scuba dive in crystalline waters. Cruise the sunset seas and go dolphin watching. All guests also get their own bicycles, so you can pedal around our beautiful island at any time of the day. Or simply enjoy the sparkling waters in your own villa — one of the perks of having a private pool.
  4. Joy of Caring. Engaging meaningfully with our environment creates a sense of purpose and connectedness — both of which are key to mental health. Travellers of all ages can explore sustainability at JOALI BEING and play a part in preserving our oceans. At Okyanus, the marine biology centre, you can learn about marine life, snorkel with turtles, and discover coral reefs. Visit our Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, in partnership with the Olive Ridley Project (ORP), to meet the flippered patients and observe feedings. Kids ages 8-12 can also join the Ocean Guardians programme, designed to inspire and empower young minds.
  5. Inter-Generational Learning. The joys and rewards of learning extend through generations. The Four Pillars of JOALI BEING are brought to life through our experiential wellbeing activities, curated with care and creativity. Unravel the secrets of herbariums, make craft soaps and lip balms, mix up mocktails, and create marine-inspired art. Set out on a botanical walk through our island’s gardens and wild forest, where you will learn about indigenous trees, their traditional uses and the creatures that live amongst them.

 

Along with enriching multi-generational experiences, JOALI BEING also invites guests to embark on individual journeys of mental wellbeing. Indulge in mindful treatments, join movement and meditation sessions, and discover restorative practices.

 

Guests over the age of 16 years can explore our Mind Pillar Wellbeing Programmes, available for 5, 7 or 10 nights. Manage anxiety and foster inner balance with the De-Stress programme, or reinvigorate your mental and emotional energy with the Unwind & Relax programme.
