How environmentally friendly is it?

The Well is a plastic-free facility and relies on purified water to reduce single-use plastic.

Products used in the spa and sold in the store are organic and locally sourced whenever possible.

What else do we need to know?

Their visiting master program is something to look out for when booking.

They welcome everyone from yogis to facialists.
