Understanding wellness
Five dimensions of a wellness stay
Wellness means different things at different places. These five dimensions help you understand what a stay offers, from food and spa experiences to time outdoors and connection to the local community.
The same five pillars form the foundation of WITT's Core Wellness Standards for Hotels™, with more than 100 criteria used in its certification process. WHG listings and WITT certification are distinct.

Nourishment
01How food supports nourishment, choice, and wellbeing.
Nourishment can mean farm-to-table dining with local or on-property ingredients, menu choices for dietary needs, or spa-style cuisine such as a power bowl. Each property offers a different combination; check its details and confirm dietary requirements before booking.

Holistic Healing
02Spa, recovery, and restorative experiences.
Explore spa facilities, treatments, restful spaces, and practitioner-led experiences. The range varies from a spa visit during a city break to a stay organized around a dedicated wellness program.

Nature
03Meaningful connection to the natural environment.
Nature can be close by in a city or a rural setting. Look for access to parks, waterfronts, gardens, trails, and other outdoor spaces, and check how the property connects you with them.

Movement
04Opportunities to move, train, explore, and stay active.
