LUX to offer creative classes

LUX Resorts & Hotels has announced a new partnership with Australian firm Work-Shop to stage a series of creative classes across its portfolio this year.

Announced at a media event yesterday, guests at the resorts will be able to take part in hour- long classes that cover an array of topics including “everything from Tibetan sound healing, yoga, meditation, photography and art lessons, Japanese book binding and how to make the ultimate health tonic”, according to Mega Staal, PR representive for Lux.

“Our research showed us that engaging in a daily activity wards off stress and helps with a positive psychology for your health and wellbeing,” Staal said.

“We wanted to create and inspire uplifting experiences that bring out the best in our guests.

“So the workshops are all about learning something new, sharing something with loved ones, growing and bringing out the best in you,” she said.

Work-Shop co-founder Matt Branagan spoke with TD saying the company was elated with the new partnership.

“We were invited to pitch 30 of our workshops and nine were selected for 2017,” he said.

“We’ll be conducting the workshops later in the year across several resorts and will do even more for 2018.”

There are currently seven Lux resorts in locations including Mauritius and the Maldives with a further seven under construction over the next two years including in the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.
