It includes consultations with doctors after a retreat at intervals of one, three and six months.

Guests will also have access to wellness products and supplement subscriptions as part of the aftercare service.

Digital newsletters with expert insights and inspiration will also be available.

Minor Hotels has also revealed that in 2026, Layan Life will introduce a series of programmes and retreats designed for people of specific ages, from teens and young adults to midlife guests and seniors.

The lower floor has a 220sq m gym, yoga and Pilates studios, meditation rooms and a hydrotherapy area with vitality pools, saunas and steamrooms.

A Thai herbal dispensary also offers personalised remedies.

Outside, the Active Zone boasts tennis courts, a Muay Thai ring, a climbing wall, archery facilities and an outdoor fitness area with ziplining, mountain biking, a beach bootcamp and water sports.
