Athulya's unique approach, blending comprehensive healthcare services with the warmth and attentiveness of hospitality, makes it a standout in the field. From assisted living to dementia and palliative care, Athulya brings comfort, dignity, and care to seniors' lives in a way that resonates with the heart of hospitality.

Their philosophy revolves around making senior years not just comfortable, but enriching and joyful. The personalized attention provided to each resident is comparable to the luxury services offered by high-end hospitality brands. Seniors at Athulya experience not just care but a life of distinction, where they are treated with the same dedication and respect that defines the best of hospitality services.

Their facilities, strategically spread across South India, house over 1000 senior-friendly rooms, staffed by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals who are trained to cater to the physical, emotional, and social needs of their residents. Athulya’s homes are more than just living spaces; they are vibrant communities where seniors find companionship, engage in meaningful activities, and lead fulfilling post-retirement lives.

In an era where elderly care is often marginalized, Athulya steps up by breaking the stigmas associated with senior living. Their commitment is to provide a nurturing environment, reassuring families that their loved ones are in the best hands. This holistic approach has earned them recognition not just as a senior care provider but as an innovator in creating luxurious, engaging senior living environments.

While Athulya Senior Care operates in the healthcare sector, the core principles of hospitality—service, care, and comfort—are deeply embedded in their operations. Like luxury hotels, Athulya ensures that its residents experience a seamless blend of comfort, security, and dignity. Their approach mirrors the hospitality industry's focus on client satisfaction, with services tailored to meet individual needs and preferences.

In fact, Athulya's efforts in senior care can be seen as an extension of hospitality itself—creating environments where residents feel at home, appreciated, and supported. Whether it's offering home-like meals or engaging seniors in daily social activities, Athulya combines the best of medical care with the personal touch of hospitality. Their goal is not just to care for the body but to nourish the soul, ensuring that each resident enjoys their golden years to the fullest.

Meliá Pattaya Hotel has officially launched its YHI Spa, offering a thoughtfully curated menu of wellness treatments that promote physical and mental well-being — from improving metabolism and easing tension to boosting circulation and enhancing sleep quality.

This marks the fourth YHI Spa in Thailand under Meliá Hotels International, following successful rollouts at Meliá Koh Samui, Meliá Phuket Mai Khao, and Meliá Chiang Mai. Named after the goddess of life and light from the Karraur First Nations mythology, YHI Spa blends ancient Asian healing wisdom with contemporary wellness techniques.

With four serene treatment rooms and a traditional Thai herbal sauna, the spa is designed for ultimate rejuvenation. The spa’s signature treatment, “YHI Oriental Harmony”, combines Swedish and Thai massage techniques to target pressure points and aid muscle recovery — ideal for guests with persistent back, neck, or shoulder tension.

Highlighting Thai heritage, the “Siam Serenity Herbal Compress” features the traditional Luk Pra Kob infused with lemongrass, turmeric, camphor, and ginger, offering relief from inflammation and improved circulation.

For those seeking a full immersive experience, the “Blue Ocean Bliss Signature Treatment” blends a detoxifying marine salt scrub, yoga stretches, and an oil and seawater massage — topped with a local snack and herbal drink. Couples can enjoy the “Lot of Love” package, beginning with a romantic milk bath and followed by a shared massage.

The spa also offers facials and body treatments like the “Yuzu Scrub and Vitiver Body Polish” with Himalayan salt, konjac sponge, and caffeine to brighten and rehydrate the skin. The “Ageless Facial Treatment” uses natural extracts from water lily, licorice, and cactus to combat signs of aging.

Shorter hydrotherapy rituals, such as the “Citrus and Salt Bath Voyage” and “Royal Rice Milk Soak”, provide 30 minutes of pure relaxation and detox.

All treatments use products from HARNN, an organic Thai wellness brand known for natural, artisanal formulations passed down through generations.

Open daily from 10am to 8pm, the YHI Spa at Meliá Pattaya offers three single treatment rooms with showers, a spa suite for couples with hydrotherapy, and a Thai herbal sauna to complete the wellness journey.
