As the hospitality industry continues to evolve toward healthier, more conscious lifestyles, Novotel Manila Araneta City is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a powerful statement: wellness is not a trend — it’s a lifestyle. On October 4, 2025, the hotel launches its first-ever Weekend Wellness Festival, Find Your Balance, a full-day immersive experience designed to inspire balance, vitality, and transformation in the heart of Quezon City’s Araneta City.
A Day Devoted to Wellness
The festival begins with registration at 8:00 AM, followed by an energizing opening at 9:00 AM. Throughout the day, guests can choose from a diverse lineup of activities designed to recharge the body and refresh the mind — concluding around 6:00 PM. As a bonus, in-house guests can extend the experience with an exclusive Morning Yoga session on October 5.
Here’s what’s in store:
- Sweat & Strength: High-energy HIIT and Bootcamp workouts led by Technogym Philippines, plus comprehensive fitness and health assessments to guide your wellness journey.
- Recovery & Renewal: Revitalizing ice bath therapy guided by OCA Collective, soothing steam baths, and rejuvenating massages by In Balance Spa (Asmara Spa), enhanced by Yoga Love Ph products.
- Mindful Movement: Strengthen your core with mat Pilates, explore the grounding power of sound healing, and discover the benefits of breathwork and meditation.
- Culinary Wellness: Savor a healthy, sustainable lunch crafted by Novotel’s culinary team, concoct your own energy drink with Oster, and indulge in a tea ritual presented by Dilmah.
