- The site is globally searchable using keywords, meaning you will find all instances of the searched term across all standards that you have access to.
Design Philosophy
Holistic Approach
Discovery Well Being takes a holistic and curated approach to wellness. We believe all aspects of daily life play a role in our overall health and well-being.
Our design philosophy approaches facilities and programming in the same way. The programming and experiences are not confined to spa, fitness, wellness, and medical facilities. Every space has significance, plays a role in the wellness program, and has an opportunity to contribute the brand strategies of Discovery Well Being.
Whether dining, excursions, farm, equestrian, golf, water sports or any other activities, Outdoor Pursuits, and venues, it is critical to the quality of the program that these spaces interact and support the dedicated health and wellness facilities.
Design these facilities to convey an atmosphere of personalized attention, rejuvenation, escape, and comfort.
Bespoke Experiences
Each Discovery Well Being facility (spa, wellness center, regenerative medical center, or fitness center) is unique to its location and should be consistent with its surroundings, local culture, and the overall intention of the host DLC World.
