GLOW: The Holiday Ritual That Makes You Healthier… and Happier!
22 October 2025
Did you know that massages can lower your stress hormones and increase your happy ones? In other words, it’s a mood switch you can flip in an hour! Add the Mauritian sun, with all its wellness benefits, and you’ve got the ultimate holiday hack: glowing inside and out.
This is what inspired GLOW by Sunlife, a 360° approach to wellbeing that brings together natural energy, local traditions, and nourishing food. It’s an invitation to recharge and rediscover a deeper sense of self.
How The Sun Boosts Your Mood and Sleep
The Mauritian sun offers more than golden holiday selfies. It’s a daily dose of vitality. Picture yourself on a quiet beach at sunrise, as the first rays of the day touch your skin. Just 10 to 15 minutes of that light helps regulate your circadian rhythm, improving sleep. Those same rays also spark the production of vitamin D, serotonin, and dopamine, your natural mood boosters.
GLOW channels this same life-giving energy through treatments rooted in light and the natural cycles of the island. Each ritual is infused with natural products from Indika, a local enterprise in the lush Vallée de Ferney. From moringa oil and medicinal herbs to revitalising citrus extracts, every ingredient is authentically Mauritian, sun-charged, and carefully chosen to bring body and spirit into harmony.
A Spa Moment That Leaves You Glowing, Inside and Out
The secret to glowing inside and out is simpler than you think. At the heart of GLOW are treatments like the Radiance GLOW Journey, powered by crystal energy that flows like a moving meditation for body and spirit, and the Radiance GLOW Facial, which combines gemstones and red light therapy to brighten skin and restore balance.
But wellbeing doesn’t end when you step out of the treatment room. GLOW extends to the dining table, with creative plant-based menus across all Sunlife resorts. Colourful, flavour-packed dishes made with local produce to nourish your “second brain” (the gut) and renew you from within.
Rooted in Mauritius, Made for You
Mauritius has always carried its own wisdom for balance. Herbal infusions, citrus remedies, and massages shaped by Indian, African, and Asian traditions…here, wellbeing is woven into daily life. GLOW draws from these practices and reimagines them into a holistic experience. By slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and embracing rituals rooted in centuries of knowledge, you find clarity. GLOW is all about helping you feel more like yourself.
You’ll leave with a sense of balance that follows you home, like an inner sun switched back on.
