REDEFINING WELLNESS TRAVEL, LAKE NONA WAVE HOTEL LAUNCHES WELL+ECH BY WAVE
The cutting-edge hotel has partnered with a rotating roster of health-conscious industry leaders for an exclusive collection of innovative wellness-focused accommodations
Orlando, FL – December 6, 2021 – Reinventing the Orlando vacation experience, Lake Nona Wave Hotel is situated in one of America’s healthiest communities and “the most sophisticated example in the world of what master planning for wellness can accomplish,” according to the Global Wellness Institute.
Dubbed “a smart city with soul,” Lake Nona is one of the most technologically advanced communities in the country with Wellness at its heart. Home to the United States Tennis Association National Campus, Deepak Chopra’s first Mind-Body Zone and Spa and miles of trails for hiking and biking. Lake Nona is also home to a 650-acre health and life sciences park known as Medical City - a premier location for medical care, research and education with some of the nation’s top hospitals.
Drawing from the destination’s health-conscious innovation, the 234-room property announces the debut of Well+ech by Wave – a collection of guestrooms that have been carefully curated for an optimal technology-infused wellness experience. The exclusive roster of brands will rotate to showcase the year’s most top-rated and pioneering wellness brands.
“It has been inspiring to see the creativity, innovation and brilliance within our community - particularly as it relates to the quality of our residents’ and guests’ wellbeing,” said Suzie Yang, general manager at Lake Nona Wave Hotel. “In debuting our Well+ech by Wave collection, we hope to seamlessly complement the wide range of wellness amenities already accessible to visitors.’’
Prioritizing REM
Advocating for sleep as the foundation of health, Lake Nona Wave Hotel’s Well+ech guest rooms have created the ultimate sleep experience with The Restorative BedTM by Bryte. Combining personalized, optimal temperature and comfort, the bed customizes to guests’ needs using technology that intelligently rebalances to eliminate pressure points to reduce the number of times you wake up during the night, ultimately ensuring a more restorative sleep. The Restorative BedTM by Bryte, which has been selected as a finalist by the National Sleep Foundation for the SleepTech® Award, features AI-powered comfort and climate control that guides the body through an optimum balance of sleep stages.
The intuitively intelligent bed will be outfitted with Nollapelli bedding, which balances moisture, temperature, and friction to curate the best sleep environment possible. Using the latest in beauty science, textile technology and sleep discovery, the sheets were awarded 2021’s Best Cooling Luxury Sheets by Tuck.com - a platform researching sleep health, hygiene and products with the web’s largest collection of aggregated data on sleep surfaces. Made from an ideal union of natural, eco-friendly fibers, silky polymers, and fine pima cotton, Nollapelli’s patent-pending fabric creates an optimal environment for skin, hair and sleep with 65 percent naturally-derived yarns and 35 percent synthetic yarns for a unique dual-face construction.
To round out the Well+ech sleep experience, SleepScore Labs, the company behind the world’s most comprehensive suite of data-backed sleep solutions, will also feature a collection of sleep products, approved and in some cases scientifically tested, by their team of sleep experts. The collection includes the Sound + Sleep SE Sleep Sound Machine, which uses naturally recorded sounds that evolve and never loop to eliminate audio repetition for real-world natural sound experiences; Smart Nora, a snoring aid that gently lifts your head when it detects snoring, allowing for natural breathing to resume; and the Spoonk Acupressure Mat, perfect for pre-sleep relaxation by stimulating increased circulation with acupressure points and relieving muscle tension and pain. Founded in 2016, SleepScore has studied more than 85 million hours of sleep for over a decade to create a suite of services to transform the sleep experience.
The Power of Light
Well+ech by Wave will feature UVC air sanitization and circadian lighting by Healthe Inc. - making the property the first partnership for the brand in the United States. Led by a collective of scientists and pioneers, Healthe is the global leader in developing and deploying solutions which incorporate Far-UVC/UVC technologies that inactivate pathogens in the air and on surfaces and circadian and biological lighting solutions. For over 20 years, the innovative company has adopted NASA technology to engineer solutions that are now being placed in the hotel’s Well+ech rooms. The addition of Healthe circadian lighting will regulate guests’ internal clock, boost performance, and improve sleep while the company’s air sanitization solutions will inactivate pathogens in the air using UVC 222 light.
The guest rooms will also be equipped with View Smart Windows that tint using predictive intelligence in response to the sun and outdoor conditions. By maximizing daylight and eliminating glare, studies have shown that View Smart Windows are linked to 51 percent reduced eye-strain; 63 percent fewer headaches; 56 percent less drowsiness; and 16 minutes additional sleep with more consistency from one day to the next.
Innovative Wellness
Placing an emphasis on mental and physical wellness, Lake Nona Wave Hotel has tapped the neighboring Chopra Mind-Body Zone for exclusive membership access for Well+ech guests. Conceptualized by alternative medicine advocate Dr. Deepak Chopra - who will keep residency at the hotel - Chopra Mind-Body Zone will exclusively offer a selection of virtual workout classes on TV such as barre, pilates, meditation, yoga and breathwork.
Inspiring inner growth, spirituality and sustainability through virtual reality, Well+ech guests also receive exclusive access to VR-led meditation with LUVRworldwide VR meditations by Alissa Christine. Led by multidimensional artist, the experience will be the first-of-its-kind offered at a hotel and will include a virtual reality headset, ambient music (pre-recorded or a live musician if requested in advance), and a personally guided meditation with breathwork and elements that appeal to all five senses. The immersive VR journey incorporates the healing aspects of interactive art with breathing exercises, while priming each individual’s energetic field for manifestations of all desires. Sound healing and aromatherapy can also be incorporated into the session upon request.
Smart Skincare
Well+ech accommodations will provide guests with the world’s first Climate-Smart® skincare brand, PourMoi – supplementing guests’ bath amenities with Pour Moi’s renowned Tropical Day Cream, scientifically formulated to counteract the premature signs of aging caused by humid, hot weather. Guests will have the opportunity to relish in the first-of-its-kind geo-moisturization face cream, that uniquely pairs with different local climates. The Tropical Day Cream, exclusively selected for Lake Nona Wave Hotel, is specifically designed for Florida’s weather and is the solution to rosy, flushed skin, and enlarged pores predominantly caused by hot, sticky, humid tropical weather. All Pour Moi products are made in France for all ethnicities, ages and genders, using clean, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, 100 percent vegan and cruelty-free formulas. The brand is also eco-responsible, sourcing and manufacturing in accordance with Europe’s highest standards.
All hotel guestrooms, including Well+ech accommodations, will also feature skin and body care by PAYOT, a brand that supports women from one generation to the next. Founded by one of the first female doctors, PAYOT’s founder Nadia Payot early on demonstrated her commitment to using her medical, scientific and herbal expertise in the skincare products she developed. Products selected for the hotel are at the forefront of the brand’s ethos that is centered around unraveling the secrets of the skin and the mysteries of the cells to develop products which respond to genuine beauty concerns and needs.
Mindful Minibar
The total volume of no- and low-alcohol beverages is forecasted to grow by 31 percent by 2024. Tapping into this emerging trend, Well+ech by Wave features a curated health-conscious minibar where guests can enjoy MAD TASTY, a zero-sugar, low-calorie sparkling water beverage with 20 MG of broad-spectrum hemp extract founded by OneRepublic’s lead singer Ryan Tedder. MAD TASTY is vegan and gluten-free, and offers a unique mixture of clarity and calm without the high or earthy aftertaste.
Starting at $329, the Well+ech guest rooms are available to book now. For more information or to make a reservation, please visit www.lakenonawavehotel.com. Get social with us at @LakeNonaWaveHotel and #FeeltheWave.
