Club Med Bintan’s annual Body & Soul program offers a holistic journey on the captivating Bintan Island, Indonesia. Anchored on three core pillars – Eat Well, Move Well, and Feel Well – the program combines fitness classes, wellness workshops, and mindful culinary indulgence for self-discovery, health, and healing. As part of the Feel Well Pillar, LUSH Malaysia hosted the Bubble Bar & Bath Bomb Workshop, where guests had the opportunity to create their own fresh, handmade bath bombs. Coordinated by the talented LUSH Malaysia Team, including Amanda, Orion, Hendra, and Patrick, the workshop provided a unique firsthand experience, allowing guests to witness and actively participate in the art of crafting the popular Butterball Bath Bomb using organic and clean ingredients. As a special memento, they took home their carefully crafted and personalized bath bombs.

In an eco-conscious move to reduce their carbon footprint and promote sustainability, the LUSH team and guests chose an eco-friendly mode of transportation. Opting for a bus and ferry instead of air travel, they minimized their impact on the environment during their journey from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Bintan Island, Indonesia. 

The LUSH and Club Med Bintan press trip exemplified the strength of collaboration between like-minded brands, setting a new standard for transformative journeys that prioritize wellness, sustainability, and captivating experiences.
