It is estimated that 45% of the world population has issues with sleep, and we all know just how much good sleep is essential to both our physical and mental health. I know people that can go to sleep anywhere, and at any time. I’m not one of those. I do not sleep well at all if I’m not in my own bed, with my own pillows. So, while I love to travel and explore, my sleep really suffers each night I’m away from home. And that’s exactly why this news caught my attention.
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts® have launched Alchemy of Sleep, a global collection of new and immersive retreats designed to promote rest through sleep-inducing treatments, movement-driven activities and special amenities. Dedicated to those setting intentions for profound change in the new year, the thoughtfully crafted programs support renewal of the body and longevity to come.
Taking a holistic approach to sleep, the Alchemy of Sleep retreats address a variety of practices that require attention, such as nutrition, movement and mindfulness, presenting a mix of treatments and experiences, expert consultations and classes that ensure each guest finds skills to incorporate into their everyday lives. Guests can opt for a one-night ‘Dreamscape’ or extend from two to five nights for a ‘Sleep Transformation,’ providing an even more immersive stay. As a supplement to these offerings, Curated Sleep Boxes feature products that rebalance such as essential oil blends, tea blends, aromatherapy linen mists and silk eye masks.
Available from January through March 2022, retreat elements at participating Rosewood properties include:
London: Rosewood London, a 5-star hotel in London in collaboration with Votary, a skin care company, has launched two ‘Alchemy of Sleep’ sleep packages that rely on sleep inducing treatments and amenities including cannabis-derived CBD to deliver complete restoration and renewal from a good night’s sleep!
What’s included in the package you ask? Well, it’s a holistic offering that comprises:

Paris: Offering a refuge in the center of Paris, Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel welcomes guests with an in-room Sleeping Beauty set, featuring all the essentials for ensuring a good night’s sleep. Guests continue their stay with personalized messages and centering meditation sessions, concluding the journey with a Sleep Naturopathy consultation to establish long-term patterns for attaining the best sleep possible back home.
Mexico: At Rosewood Mayakoba along Mexico’s Riviera Maya, guests will engage in two personal consultations with the resort’s wellbeing experts to discuss the Alchemy of Sleep and develop clear actions for improving sleep cycles, while keeping the body moving with Float Fit sessions and Restorative Yoga at the resort’s private cenote. Guests will also have access to a Sleep Aromatherapy Support Kit curated by the resort’s Ayurveda and Aromatherapy Clinician Daniel Seymour; the kit features a remedy made from a uniquely curated blend of organic oils, as well as a master class on sleep.
Saint Barth: Set on a lush private peninsula in St. Barth, the newly debuted Rosewood Le Guanahani St. Barth offers an ideal setting for finding serenity and inner-peace. In addition to nutrient-rich dishes and scenic meditation, restorative treatments, such as Healing Sound Bath Therapy, activate the brain waves for a dreamlike state. Each room is enhanced with oil diffusers and mists, silk pillowcases and eye masks, books with sleep tips, as well as access to meditation TV apps.
British Virgin Islands: Rosewood Little Dix Bay in the British Virgin Islands offers a tranquil haven for those on a quest for sleep. Aromatherapy and reflexology treatments releasing tension from the body are supplemented with dream-worthy outdoor activities that inspire, such as hikes through “The Baths” National Park. For the deepest possible state of relaxation in full consciousness, guests can partake in Yoga Nindra, also known as ‘Yogic Sleep,’ offered under the stars just before bedtime.
California: With the Alchemy of Sleep retreat launch comes the debut of Bryte Sleep Suites at Montecito’s Rosewood Miramar Beach and Menlo Park’s Rosewood Sand Hill in California. The suites feature “The Restorative Bed by Bryte,” which allow for individual heating and cooling personalized to each sleep partner’s profile with Circadian Climate technology directly impacting the sleeper’s core body temperature. When away from bed, guests will indulge in deliciously healthy menus that offer balanced nutrition. To further reduce stress, guests can choose from a selection of calm-inducing treatments that incorporate ingredients like CBD and lavender, as well as partake in meditations that take advantage of the resorts’ breathtaking natural settings and landscaped gardens.
