Christmas Eve, December 24, 2022

For December 24, 2022, RAKxa Wellness has prepared a series of personalised integrative programmes for guests to celebrate Christmas Eve while embracing their holiday wellness. The “Simmering with the Expert” class invites guests to join the retreat’s tea sommelier, who will demonstrate the healthy way to fully enjoy RAKxa’s own recipe of non-alcoholic mulled wine. In the evening, guests can enjoy a Christmas Eve dinner to boost their metabolism for 2023.

On the morning of Christmas Day, RAKxa Wellness will greet guests with a Sunday brunch buffet and a live jazz band, allowing guests to enjoy the musical energy to the fullest.

Start Fresh on New Year’s Eve from December 30, 2022 to January 1, 2023

Recheck, revive, and re-energise with RAKxa’s wellness journey of personalised integrative programmes and special activities designed exclusively for this new year to set individual health goals in motion.

Upon arrival on December 30, guests can recheck their minds and body via medical lab tests from VitalLife Scientific Wellness Centre and engage in a whole year of wellness planning with RAKxa Wellness's Health & Wellness advisors to craft a 2023 ultimate health goal into a true resolution. A Crystal Mandala workshop is available at RAKxa JAI for guests to have an individual mandala reading on their own creations from RAKxa’s professional energy healing therapist based on the chosen crystals and layout, providing guests with a better understanding of themselves and what to revise for a successful start in 2023.

On New Year’s Eve, guests can revive their well-being with an afternoon therapeutic dance movement class at RAKxa GAYA. Guided by RAKxa’s professional fitness coach, guests can move with the rhythmic flow, allowing the body to release stagnant emotions and set a new trajectory towards relief, escape, and peace. For dinner, seasonal rejuvenating wellness cuisine at UNAM Restaurant helps the body to eliminate harmful toxins and prevent inflammation and allergies while restoring a healthy balance with a carefully curated menu of taste, nutrition, nature, seasonality and sustainability.

Wrap up the ultimate wellness holiday with an exclusive energy cleansing sound bath and inner peace embracing ritual hosted by RAKxa’s special guest, Jaan Healing. The nighttime ritual prepares guests for a restful sleep after the countdown to 2023. On New Year's day, guests may also experience Buddhist sunrise merit at The Pavilion to purify and empower their inner peace, renewed and ready for the year ahead.
