Nothing is more synonymous with The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa than ensuring guest experience unique wellness-centred and energising activities through the Westin Hotels & Resort’s Move Well pillar. With a 24-hour WestinWORKOUT Fitness Studio and daily recreation activities, the resort encourages guests to stay fit while on the go. In celebration of Global Running Day on 7th June 2023, guests and associates were invited to invigorate their minds and body with a scenic run followed by a series of activities. The half-day program encapsulates the resort’s commitment to embracing the brand’s philosophy of becoming a hospitality’s global leader in wellness.
The morning kicked off with instructor-led stretching exercises, targeting specific muscle groups throughout the body to minimise post-exercise muscle soreness, followed by the highlight of the Global Running Day, a leisurely 5KM run. The run began at the resort’s main entrance to the monumental Eagle Square – an icon of Langkawi that describes the true origin of its name. Participants ran with the RunWESTIN Concierge, and the route taken embarks them on an educational journey through Langkawi’s mystiques, legends, and histories at the outdoor museum of Lagenda Park.
As Westin Hotels & Resorts is the preeminent brand in the wellness and hospitality industry for more than a decade, The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa ensures guests experience initiatives and programs that encapsulate the brand’s Six Pillars of wellbeing. The morning concluded with Eat Well inspired snacks and refreshments featuring nourishing dishes promoting faster recovery time and healthier eating habits without compromising on taste. Executive Chef Zaihari Zainol and his team of chefs pulled out all the stops with fares that are nutrient-dense and perfectly capture Malaysia’s flavours. One of the crowd’s favourites on the day was the grilled chicken wraps, high-protein chia seed muffins and strawberry smoothie.
